/// LYRICS

Once a songbird caught me by surprise
With the strength of its singing
A bright call took flight, pierced the air
Like a lone bell a-ringing

What’s past is past
Wanted, never asked

I don’t expect to get a second chance
To choose my words as I mean to
But I’d take it all back, I was wrong
Now I know what you’ve been through

What’s past is past
Wanted, never asked

A songbird’s shadow upon the lawn
Lies in wait since you’re gone

Sun sure falls fast
No shadow cast
What’s past is past
Wanted, never asked

/// Lyrics:

In a derelict parking lot
I saw my sifu bend
Bend bend bend to the whim
Of directionless suffering
Why do we suffer?
For who do we please?
I bought a loaf of bread and cheese
I will find myself a romantic rendezvous
To share with so and so and you know who

I’ve got a lot on my mind
Every path leads to another a land mine
Who needs a positive push?
I need a lot to be doing fine
 
Summer ended with a quiet yawn
Polite dreams of another dawn
I feel restless, I lost my edge
I remember what my father said,
“If feathers tickle as they do
Why don’t they make the chickens laugh too?”
You gotta be the butt of your own joke sometimes
To be serious too much is to be blind!
 
You don’t got no...
You don’t got no idea of what you want to do with this feeling, but I know that it hurts real bad
You don’t got no...
Simple way of trying to achieve your goals, but you try and the lack of success is so discouraging
You don’t got no...
Way to tell me what you really wanted out of being this way, so come on and say it, I am no longer going to try!
 
Green grass, blue world
It’s so simple it seems absurd
I could be helpless, that is my choice
Why be helpless with this golden voice?
A cold wind is a breathing thing
A thing to become a reckoning
Sing, sing sing like a singer-songwriter
I hope to die a lot lighter than this!

About 'Horse' by Holy Motors

Holy Motors' new LP 'Horse,' which is due out on Wharf Cat on October 16th, finds the band acknowledging the Americana and rockabilly strands of their musical DNA without sacrificing any of the otherworldly mystique that keeps them from neatly conforming to the shoegaze and dreampop labels often applied to their music.  

From the album’s opening moments, songs like “Country Church,” with its major key and classic rhythm and blues guitarline, and “Midnight Cowboy,” which sounds like a lost Buddy Holly 45 played at 33 rpm, make it clear that Horse — even if it may not accomplish the impossible task of demystifying this band of ex-Soviet cowboys — will at least show you that there’s more to them than the near-impenetrable darkness of their work to date may suggest. Although tracks like “Trouble” and “Endless Night” gravitate toward the ethereal production and existential subject matter of prior releases, repeat listens reveal complex compositions and an empathy that is central to this eight-song album.  

As a whole, Horse stands as a warmer, more human counterpoint to 2018’s celestial Slow Sundown, and showcases Holy Motors as a hypnotic force that draws listeners in and leaves them wanting more. This effect, paired with their ability to write lyrics and music that resonate with a deeply relatable feeling of isolation, has resulted in an album built to connect with people from devoted shoegaze and western psychedelia fanatics to dreamer cowboys, driving through wide open country roads under the stars.

Personal Space - "Supine (And Feelin’ Fine)"

Lyrics: 
Running round New Orleans in the rain with a soup-ed up catholic boy who is ready for anything. It’s not like that though, much more tame, we liked the same girl anyway.
Who am I to follow when I don’t know the way to go.
Swigging whiskey from the bottle with a girl so pretty she could be a model in New York city on the underground. Felt like a movie, not like dad when he’s down.
Here we are at 4am in an uptown diner. Been drinking spirits behind the bar with some resting actors.
Smoked a spliff with no tobacco, I felt so ill I couldn’t move my head at all.

From Corey Flood's debut album Hanging Garden out September 4th on Fire Talk.

Buy: ffm.to/coreyfloodphl

There’s a vague sense of unease that permeates Corey Flood’s debut full-length, Hanging Garden, out September 5th via Fire Talk. From the surface, the record appears to break through the dark fog of the band’s 2018 EP, Wish You Hadn’t, but just below lay themes of ambivalence, uncertainty, and anxiety, layered elegantly in fuzz. Recorded in Philadelphia by Jackie Milestone, mixed by Natasha Jacobs, and mastered by Sarah Register, Hanging Garden pushes through feelings of discomfort and repressed emotions to discover what truly lies beneath.

Born in Philly circa 2017, Corey Flood began as the post-grad bedroom project of bassist Ivy Gray-Klein (formerly of Littler) and drummer Juliette Rando. A month after their first show with guitarist Em Boltz, the band signed with New York’s Fire Talk Records and turned four planned demos into a full-fledged, delightfully menacing debut EP. Now, after two years of intense growth and collaboration, the trio continues their “whirlwind trajectory” with the long-awaited, nine-track LP, Hanging Garden.

Inspired by Throwing Muses, Helium, Pale Saints, and Brix Smith-Start’s work with the Fall, Gray-Klein calls Hanging Garden “a reckoning with internal discord.” Through soft melodies, lush guitars and churning rhythms, the dual vocals of Gray-Klein and Boltz recall relatable experiences with gaslighting, imposter syndrome, and repetitive thoughts. Hanging Garden feels intimate and familiar but is strewn with playful surprises, like 70s krautrock guitar work and samba-influenced drum parts. Hanging Garden is a mature stride forward, and a bewitching amble towards the unknown.
