LOUIS - LYRICS

I had a dream they said I got a bit of meningitis 
I couldn’t talk to anyone for days
I tried to tell you with a straight face 
Oh, oh
It was a problem but at least I thought it would unite us 
I didn’t know what else to say
But it’s a battle I have to face 

It’s 50/50 when I think about it 
The kind of risk that I can’t live without 
It’s kind of tricky if you ask me now
If I could just rewind
Then I would take you to the other side
It’s pretty, pretty when you get it right 
I wanna be there when you recognize
We’re almost home tonight

Louis!
You gotto get up on your feet
Oh, Louis!
You gotto fight against the stream 
Come on now Louis, Louis!
You gotta wake up from you dreams 
Oh Louis, Louis!
We’re almost home tonight

And even though I know we try to leave it all behind us 
I’m just a troublemaker all the time
And we’re about to jeopardized  

It’s 50/50 and it’s on to me 
A systematic kind of sympathy
Who’s gonna be your own worst enemy?
Me, me, me, me again
If I could make it to the other side
It’s so damn pretty when you get it right 
Just wanna be there when you recognize
We’re almost home tonight

Louis!
You gotto get up on your feet
Oh, Louis!
You gotto fight against the stream 
Come on now Louis, Louis!
You gotta wake up from you dreams 
Oh Louis, Louis!
We’re almost home tonight

Almost home tonight
We’re almost home tonight
We’re almost home tonight
We’re almost home tonight

Louis!
You gotto get up on your feet
Oh, Louis!
You gotto fight against the stream 
Come on now Louis, Louis!
You gotta wake up from you dreams 
Oh Louis, Louis!
We’re almost home tonight

Louis

Someone is haunted by violent thoughts (Violence Came for Us). An expectant father feels uncertain about his future (Somewhere, Somehow). A woman wants to leave her partner (Unsung Love Songs). Someone witnesses a shift in behaviour in someone they love (Alive in the Mind of Another).

The characters in this album have a sense of uncertainty, and do not feel at ease in the world. It's not that these characters don't care about anything, they care a lot, but they feel disoriented about what their caring means.

Available August 19, 2014 on Asthmatic Kitty Records.

Preorder it here.

Bought a Vanity Fair at the Value Village
Green tags half off, bought some old Nike shoes
Sean Penn he was smiling from the cover
The kind of smile that says there's nothing to lose just now

November, 1994.
My girl was ten
Someone might have been at war but I don't know

Rang up at seven dollars fifty for the day
A few months wear for an hours pay
Rain on the windshield shone like diamonds in the sun
May 28th, and the Blazers won in OT

And Carlisle agreed that the boys had played fair
Clean in the paint, that the calls had been square
Jason Kidd and Oden were the last ones there when the cameras had gone

Sometimes it's six to go down, three to wake up
But the days are short and the night ain't so bad
Out in the valley I can hear the last of the trains
As from the porch I hear her calling out my name from inside

Out for the West the pioneers they ran
Through Utah and the Thunder for the gold in the land
O Harvey Milk what a wonderful man
O Harvey Milk what a wonderful man

Asthmatic Kitty Records is an independent record label that was co-founded by Lowell Brams and his stepson, singer-songwriter Sufjan Stevens, in 1999. Since its founding, AKR has released albums by a variety of artists, including Lily & Madeleine, My Brightest Diamond and Helado Negro, and is currently home to Sufjan Stevens, Angelo De Augustine, Denison Witmer and The Welcome Wagon. 

Asthmatic Kitty was named after Sara, an orange and white tabby who wandered out of the woods pregnant and starving near Holland, Michigan in 1994. For fourteen years she brought joy as a beloved friend to Lowell, enjoying a happy life despite her initial hardships. Her asthma improved after moving west to New Mexico and Wyoming, where she lived out her days as an asthmatic kitty in name only.
