Description: Another track from "Hands", the new soundtrack by Empty Frame

Various Eggs realize that their first release will set the expectations for all releases that follow.  With this in mind, their initial E.P. reflects a wide breadth of influences.  If the next release were a horror movie soundtrack, it could be anticipated by this E.P.  If the next release were a cover of the entirety of Neil Young’s Tonight’s The Night, this could be anticipated by the E.P. as well.  And somewhere between these extremes lie Various Eggs.

Lyrics:

I was in bed, half asleep, not alone, when I got the call. 
She couldn't breathe, lost her feet, she said, 
“Please, I’m about to fall.” 

Where is Superman? The Flash? Where’s the next Hulk 
when they’re all tired and lost their nerve after the bomb? 

“I can’t think, need a drink, Vicodins to steady my nerves. 
If I am the last to survive, well, what is that worth? 

Who replaces Superman? The Flash? Where’s the next Hulk 
when they’re all tired and lost their nerve after the bomb?” 

I’m to expect that I’ll feel incomplete for quite a while. 
But to get up, keep routines, face the day, even fake a smile. 

“For this too shall pass,” it’s said and it’s said cuz it’s true. 
When next they summon us all up, it’ll just be me and you. 

We’ll drag ourselves along til we find purpose anew. 
And, if that never comes, you've got me and I've got you.
