lyrics

Sitting in the tall grass listening to
the tall tales echo off the porch
Small towns were always too much for us.

I knew the color of the day
based on the color of the coffee pot
Always just a little too dark for most
Always just a little too dark for most

Just a little bit of silver hanging down
You can hear the dulcet sounds

We were always rough around the edges
our strings were tightly wound
I’m still good at hiding
Still good at dodging nouns.
Still good at dodging nouns.

They say we weren’t supposed to make it out
They’d rather we caved to the pressure
Laid still beneath the embers of this forest fire
Had kept walking to be found on cartons lining
Shelves at the corner mart.
Shelves at the corner mart.

Just a little bit of silver hanging down
You can hear the dulcet sounds

We made it out
A beautiful voice, we
We made it out
A persistent laugh, we
We made it out
We made it out
You can hear the dulcet sounds.
We made it out.

The Other Half of Everything
by Martin John Henry

At first glance, the landscape on the cover of Martin John Henry’s The Other Half of Everything is a scene of complete isolation. This is Scotland. An archetypal rugged landscape of hills and lochs, as far as the eye can see. On closer inspection, there are some signs of habitation: buildings, roads, farms… but they … Continue reading Album of the Week: The Other Half of Everything → Bandcamp Album of the Day Nov 21, 2011
