The Ranger

The Ranger [Wah-Wah Mix]

Must Get Back!

Hole

[Intro]
I turned off the noise, let the silence in
Stepped outside and let the real life begin

[Verse 1]
No more headlines shouting through my phone
No more scrolling while I sit alone
I found my smile in a puppy’s face
Chasing tails in the backyard space

[Chorus]
It’s the simple things that make me whole
Like a child’s laugh or a heart-felt goal
Not a screen or a stream, just love on display
Watching the world in a natural way
I feel alive, I feel so free
The simple things mean everything to me

[Verse 2]
We played old board games on the porch that night
Fireflies dancing in soft twilight
Kittens curled up on my open lap
Kids spinning stories, sharing snacks

[Chorus]
It’s the simple things that make me whole
Like a child’s laugh or a heart-felt goal
Not a screen or a stream, just love on display
Watching the world in a natural way
I feel alive, I feel so free
The simple things mean everything to me

[Bridge]
Now I see the blessings in the mess
The messy joy, the sweet unrest
The little hands, the muddy feet
They bring me joy no post could beat

[Chorus]
It’s the simple things that make me whole
Like a child’s laugh or a heart-felt goal
Not a screen or a stream, just love on display
Watching the world in a natural way
I feel alive, I feel so free
The simple things mean everything to me

[Outro]
So I’ll stay here where the real things grow
With wagging tails and hearts that glow
Turn off the noise, and just be me
In the moment, wild and free

The Simple Things

Over you

A Final Dance

The Guitars Say Sorry – The Gods Don’t Hear Me Anymore

Closing out the Jaded album, The Gods Don’t Hear Me Anymore is a stark, emotional reckoning—part confession, part lament, part protest. Over a raw acoustic guitar in open tuning (DADEAD), The Guitars Say Sorry delivers a song that feels like it was written under a flickering streetlight in the early hours, alone but overheard.

The lyrics drift between the personal and political: forgotten memories, absent gods, the weight of family history, and the ache of disappointment in the world around us. “Tears come easy when you're young / And you don't know where you've come from” sets the tone—disillusionment framed by a search for meaning, identity, and connection. There’s resignation in the refrain, “The gods don't hear me anymore,” but also an undercurrent of defiance: “I carefully chose my enemies.”

Sparse, honest, and lyrically pointed, The Gods Don’t Hear Me Anymore is a fitting end to Jaded—a quiet anthem for those still standing in the ruins, asking questions no one seems willing to answer.

Lyrics
I'm waiting for someone
Who I don't remember
Under the bridges
The shadows of my father

The gods don't hear me anymore
The gods don't hear me anymore

So here we are
Ruled by old men with long memories
After George's death
I carefully chose my enemies

The gods don't hear me anymore
The gods don't hear me anymore

Tears come easy when you're young
And you don't know where you've come from
And they always tell you what you've done wrong

In the morning
I held my breath and nothing's changed
I closed my eyes, I'm still to blame
I can't help feeling it's still the same
As the last time

Is life always like this? I find it hard to tell
Is this what we're in for? It never ends up well

I lost my taste, changed beyond recognition
I'm spinning plates
I love the world we live in

The gods don't hear me anymore
The gods don't hear me anymore

Ran out of space, and not for the first time
Felt out of place — seems my mother was right

The gods don't hear me anymore
The gods don't hear me anymore

Tears come easy when you're young
And you don't know where you've come from
And they always tell you what you've done wrong

In the morning
I held my breath and nothing's changed
I closed my eyes, I'm still to blame
I can't help feeling it's still the same
As the last time

Is life always like this? I find it hard to tell
Is this what we're in for? It never ends up well
