lyrics

Warren warned to enjoy every sandwich
not long before he passed away
Some say John said life happens while you’re making other plans
Horace said to seize the day
Now we’re out here tryin' to make some progress
On plans we made and goals set long ago
We might come up short, let's keep our chins up
Count our blessings
We’ve still got hard rows to hoe
Old Phil declared we are all insects
groping towards things terr’ble or divine
Jack closed his eyes and saw his bones thread mud in his grave
and in the end old Charlie said don’t try
My mother told me try to rise above it
when folks are mean or knock you down a peg
Those people in the world who throw up roadblocks in your way
don’t shout 'em down, move right around ‘em
stay on track, don’t let 'em in your head
It’s difficult to put it into practice
All this wise and erudite advice
Like Robert, for instance, known for poignant turns of phrase like
don’t look back and don’t think twice
It’s alright if you’re confused but hey don’t blame me
We’re all out here tryin’ to make it through
If the sun keeps rising it’s all the same to me
I’ll still contemplate, recycle and repurpose
all these sage ideas for you

A fantastic album. I can see why they didn't continue under the name The Evens, as it's a different sound with the bass added. Coriky is the Evens + Joe Lally from Fugazi on bass. If you can imagine The Evens with a slightly more funky, aggressive sound like Fugazi... that's what you get! And there's no way that can ever go wrong. What a great debut album!! smiledozer

supported by 4 fans who also own “T.B.H.A.”

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
