Starting with a subtle, upbeat groove and ending with an explosive, somewhat overwrought breakdown, Confluence's "Outside" is the most emotionally conflicted single of Summer 2016. 

Just like the song's contrasting sounds and dynamics, the lyrics of frontman Ian Gassman are equally discordant. Mostly because they were inspired by the indecisiveness that can befall any twentysomething when it comes to dealing with life. 

"I should be outside walking around," he sings with fervor, hinting that he's got to get away from whatever is holding him back. Whether it be a relationship, a job or his own fear, one essential question remains: Should I stay or should I go now? 

This previously unreleased track was recorded live at Mammoth Cave Studios in 2014. It's one of the lead singles off Confluence's upcoming anthology album, "Hindsight," which features the band's entire catalog from the past three years.

Better for It

The recent passing of Leonard Cohen has affected us deeply, as he has long been a force of musical and poetic inspiration.  He was an exquisite storyteller with words for everything.  He could turn a dazzling phrase with seemingly little effort in that beautiful voice all his own.  This is our simple but loving tribute to an amazing artist who will live on in our hearts forever.

Lyrics:
It's four in the morning, the end of December
I'm writing you now just to see if you're better
New York is cold, but I like where I'm living
There's music on Clinton Street all through the evening
I hear that you're building your little house deep in the desert
You're living for nothing now, I hope you're keeping some kind of record
Yes, and Jane came by with a lock of your hair
She said that you gave it to her
That night that you planned to go clear
Did you ever go clear?
Ah, the last time we saw you you looked so much older
Your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder
You'd been to the station to meet every train, and
You came home without Lili Marlene
And you treated my woman to a flake of your life
And when she came back she was nobody's wife
Well I see you there with the rose in your teeth
One more thin gypsy thief
Well, I see Jane's awake
She sends her regards
And what can I tell you my brother, my killer
What can I possibly say?
I guess that I miss you, I guess I forgive you
I'm glad you stood in my way
If you ever come by here, for Jane or for me
Well, your enemy is sleeping, and his woman is free
Yes, and thanks, for the trouble you took from her eyes
I thought it was there for good so I never tried
And Jane came by with a lock of your hair
She said that you gave it to her
That night that you planned to go clear
Sincerely, L Cohen
