BATTLE AVE

Choices Of The Grasshopper August 2021

An ongoing monthly mix of linked-to-Soundcloud submissions that I approved on Submithub for a share over on HI54.BLOG (https://hi54.blog/content/what-should-i-expect-when-i-get-a-song-approved-by-you-on-submithub). Songs are added throughout the month and then I do the whole thing over again with the next month's Submithub approvals that have a Soundcloud link as one of their audio sources.

Cheers!

GRACE GILLESPIE - All The Yellow Flowers

All my luck is out, but I’ve a body of my own now
Time to fix the holes now, in the place I call my own
In this place I call my home

All my words are gone, but they have gone where they belong now
Echo empty shell now, I am all alone
I am all alone

It is done, it is what it is,
And in the sun, in the shadow I can just forgive
And for a love, for a fear, for a fantasy
I am done, I am gone, I am all I can be

Outside in the garden there’s a line of plastic chairs
Someone has been there, and into the past I stare
To the future I don’t dare

It is done, it is what it is,
And in the sun, in the shadow I cannot forgive
And for a love, for a fear, for a fantasy
I am done, I am gone, I am all that I can be

And all the yellow flowers turn their empty heads to me
What else can they see, but a death by small degrees
They have me on my knees

Un Relato

You Should Do This for a Living

and my heart / i can't stop it from falling all apart / woke up in a parking lot / coil around my rocks

i'm alright / i threw it all into the void last night / blowing out the pilot light

i've been dreaming / without feeling / on a straight line / there's no reason

can't let go / the little things i didn't know i owned / but how could i begin to know?

how can something / come from nothing? / i will love you / without reason

there
there can't
there can't be
there can't be love
there can't be love in
there can't be love in everything

There Can't Be Love

Cell

Kingston South Cuties

my year with the wizard was a long one / you act like a friend, but you’re the wrong one
i call on the phone, i need an answer / why don’t you want the truth?

my year with the devil was a sad one / you look for yourself inside a bad one
and everyone knows that this is nowhere / how do you sleep at night?

my year with the lovers wasn’t worth it / i asked for too much, i think i cursed it
i asked for the kill, but not the question / what do you want from me?

My Year With The Wizard

what is my mind? / not a bird trapped on a wire / not a lazy rolling river / when i wake up, i am cold and shivering / if you’ve got time to scream into my window / in dreams

and in a dream i’ve got to sleep with one eye open / i can see the knives, “i want to be alive” echoing in my mind / every day, i gaze out of the window / in fear of

Jesse Doherty, songwriter for Catskills-based band Battle Ave (formed in 2009 by Doherty and drummer Samantha Niss), seems to be waiting for popular trends to catch up with him. His compositions of wobbly synthesizers, garbled vocals, and clear-eyed melody recall outré acts like Frog Eyes as much as they do music that will catch on in five years. Their 2011 debut War Paint was a cathartic rollercoaster, with Doherty testing the limits of his self-taught voice under layers of distortion. The record that followed, 2015’s Year of Nod, found the band using a more subdued palette to paint, as James Rettig wrote, “a cloudy landscape of emotional peaks and valleys.” Battle Ave often feels like a hub, a place where things that feel familiar are captured and distorted until you no longer know what to make of them.
