lyrics

You heard the news and now you'll make decisions
Wasting time on visions and revisions
But you can't decide what's right and what is wrong

So run to the hills, give yourself a severance package
Run to the hills, pat yourself upon the back
As strange as it feels, everything is gonna turn out right

Out on the road, fleeing in your station wagon
Run on your own, in your parents' Cadillac
Whatever you do, don't go to the river at night

The Gulf winds, they lick at you
The vultures haunt your bones
You'll kick and scream, you're paralyzed, alone

So run to the hills, hide your pain and take the pills
Just run to the hills, and just ignore how strange it feels
Bury all your secrets in a gold-plated casket
Survive...

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
