I didn't mean to kill you; it was an accident.
I didn't mean to push you down those stairs.
And I know all of our friends'll just blame Providence
But I was careless, that's all.
I didn't mean to kill you; it was coincidence.
Even though I tried and tried before.
They say you're just a victim of circumstance
But circumstance didn't entomb you in the floor.
And now your singing in angelic choir
Smiling upon the mess I made
As I commit our house to arson fire
And cower in helpless in the shade
Of the tree we planted when we were young
The willow tree that gently waves
If I could reach through this funeral pyre
But I killed you and can't be saved
Didn't wanna bomb your house or crash your car
I didn't wanna throw you from a bridge
And you know all our friends will blame the President
But you can't hear me 'cause you're dead.

TC Costello is a world-travelling troubadour, combining folk, world, and punk influences. This album is maybe his most psychedelic and has my favorite production of all of his stuff. Quark Lepton
Everything Marcum does is great. This one has a special place for me because it was exactly what I needed in 2020, during SC's brief lockdown. The vibe is chill, a little melancholy, a little funny. Quark Lepton
Working with Florist member Rick Spataro, Eva Louise Goodman delivers buoyant compositions that run the gamut of psych-pop, girl group, and folk. Bandcamp Album of the Day Jan 23, 2023
