Secret Shine - Into The Ether

Still Standing Here
by The Miracle Syndicate 

You called me out
At a quiet hour
Said nothing’s changed
But everything sounds different now

You say you’re fine
I say the same
We trade the weather
Like it means something else

You talk in futures
I stay in today
You keep your distance
Like it’s part of the deal

You lean in close
Then pull away
Like you’re testing
What you already know

I’m not your answer
I’m not your past
I’m just the place
Where you slow down

I’m not your promise
I’m just the one
Still standing here
Still standing here

You mention names
I don’t ask who
I learn to breathe
Through the gaps in you

You say you need space
I say “I get it”
Like understanding
Means I disappear

You look at me
Like I’m a mirror
Then turn away
Before it talks back

I’m not your answer
I’m not your past
I’m just the place
Where you slow down

I’m not your promise
I’m not your plan
I’m just the one
Still standing here

Still standing here

Maybe it’s timing
Maybe it’s fear
Maybe we meet
When the noise has cleared

You say “never”
Then you say “maybe”
Like the truth
Needs room to breathe
It’s something I feel

From you

I don’t ask for more
I don’t ask for less
I just stay steady
In the middle of this

I’m not your answer
I’m not your past
I’m just the place
Where you feel safe

I’m not your answer
I’m not your past
I’m just the place
Where you slow down

I’m not your promise
I’m not your plan
I’m just the one
Who doesn’t run

I think you'll get it
Or you won’t
I’ll still be here
Either way

Still standing here
Still standing here

Still Standing Here

Papercuts "Parallel Universe Blues" is out Fall 2018 on Slumberland Records.

Over the course of five stellar albums, Papercuts' Jason Quever has shown himself to be a top-notch song-writer and producer, equally at home with lush, baroque textures and more stripped-down arrangements. His skill in the studio has helped him build-up an enviable resumé recording, producing and playing with artists including Luna, Beach House, Cass McCombs, Dean Wareham/Dean & Britta and Slumberland's own The Mantles.

Papercuts' new album "Parallel Universe Blues" reflects Quever's recent move from long-time musical home San Francisco to Los Angeles and all of the searching and self-exploration that accompanies leaving your home, your friends and your scene. The sound is intimate and close, nicely balancing the sonic concerns of the last few Papercuts records. The opening pair of songs "Mattress On The Floor" and Laughing Man" superbly sets the table for the rest of the album: perfect Spectorian pop songs echoed down through The Velvet Underground, LA's Paisley Underground, Spiritualized and The Jesus and Mary Chain.

"How To Quit Smoking" is a wry bit of self-examination, fueled by some gorgeous guitar melodies and a terrific chorus. "Sing To Me Candy" amps up the fuzz - distant peels of feedback blending into tape loops to create a Opal-esque atmosphere. "Clean Living" is another "jab at self improvement and who it's really for" that could fit right on on Nico's "Chelsea Girl." "All Along St Mary's" is an epic breakup song that would be right at home on The Jesus And Mary Chain's "Darklands" - ideal late night/rainy day vibes.

Never sacrificing song-writing for atmospherics, "Parallel Universe Blues" is a superb addition to the Papercuts catalog. Its themes of self-examination are as a timeless as the tunes themselves, the dreamy autumnal mood perfectly captured in the pastoral cover art. The album is a triumph and points to more great things in the future from Quever and Papercuts.
