lyrics

Love Just Can't Be Hurried

if pain makes way for progress
is it worth the process?
I'd rather hurt than stand in yesterday
when all I find are villains
and all my time I'm killin'
high time I found a better game to play

I met her at the border
I thought I could afford her
the price I've paid has nearly broke the bank
she told me not to worry
that love just can't be hurried
so I tipped my hat and dropped the drink I'd drank

bless these women, Lord,
they've sure done right by me
many times they gave me help
when they might have just as soon let it be
they love me when I make 'em laugh
and curse me when they cry

I glimpsed it at a distance
conjured at her insistence
a monument to all the things we'd shared
a boulder's but a pebble
when women test your mettle
I'm weary, though, it's nice to know they cared

bless these women, Lord
they've sure done right by me
many times they gave me help
when they might have just as soon let it be
they love me when I make 'em laugh
and curse me when they cry

I don't know how to describe the feeling I get from listening to this album besides a sense of relief, if you catch my drift. Besides feelings, musicianship is all spades, great hooks/grooves that expand into solid forms. Overall 9.5/10, thank you Silver Scrolls/Three Lobed Recordings. FraterOiram

Bright gray sheets of roaring and shimmering guitar held aloft by a delicate web of percussion. Post-rock, shoegaze, psych- rock and hints of bluesy folk, all audible and enmeshed. IlsaJ
