lyrics

Rotting hulks and gasoline
And we all know you keep your whistle clean
A tap on the shoulder from the other side
And no doubt you'll let it ride again

Southern songs and silhouettes
And ashtrays for your cigarettes
Fortune favors the bravest ones
Like distant lights from darkened suns again

I stood last night outside your walls
In the orchard or in the halls
Where your gallant minotaur awaits
And around me hover blackened Fates again

Oh, how the night is young
And we might evolve beyond
Things passing strange

So take the stairs but leave the gun
And we can make the past undone
Kill 'em all and rob them blind
Forgive them if they've been unkind to you

The Bluebird
by T.C. Costello

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

SatDahnSomeWey
by MIDIMarcum

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
