Did you know that I’m a God-man?
A three-part man mingled with the Triune God,
And I have a spirit
Where the enemy has no way, no hope, no ground...
I am a God-man!
[I am a God-man] (spoken)

1. The Lord lives inside of Me,
And He’s using my spirit as a beachhead
To spread Himself into every part
Of my mind, emotion, and will.
He sowed Himself as the seed
Into my innermost part—
And the kingdom is here,
Today, now, inside of me
And my heart is now His home!

2. Every time I say “Amen” to His Spirit
And walk by my spirit,
The kingdom seed grows and develops
Deep inside of me.
On the outside, it may seem that there’s
No change in me—
But I’m not the same,
’Cause as the seed grows in me,
Inside I’m becoming God!

Did You Know that I'm a God-man? (I’m a God-man)

it was late and my head hurt, 
we talked for hours about being down 
and trying to make it work 

i said that i wouldn’t leave you 
for what it’s worth, 
you can spend your life swimming through the tide 
let the world pass by, 
only wanna be by your side 

you know i try to convince myself i’m not weak, 
we come home drunk in the middle of the night 
and i cry myself to sleep 

there’s no point in trying if they don’t let you in, 
no matter what you say you’re never gonna win, 
if they don’t let you in

maybe we should leave it all behind, 
but it doesn’t feel right and it hurts me all the time 

there’s no point in trying if they don’t let you in, 
every word you say, you’re never gonna win, 

you’re never gonna win 
if they don’t let you in

"Brooklyn's Russian Baths released their debut album back in 2019. A year later, they've returned to album standout "Responder" for an entirely new "Night" version of the song. Where the original is a dark, driving rock song, the new take is haunted, twinkling like the midnight sky, with skittering drums, melancholy piano and an open road's worth of atmosphere." ~ BrooklynVegan

Striving to control others (emotions, desire, behaviors) corrupts. This seems like a chronic symptom of the worst in masculinity.

A responder talks back, but does it listen? Not equipped with the tools to be vulnerable, one voice denies reality, refuses to connect, exerts more control, idolizing restraint ("the way I held every face card") and admonishing its counterpart ("you way you scolded me"). With denial (to self and other), all's bound to collapse. Both know it will happen. Neither wants it.

I guess it's also an exploration of the big 80s breakup love ballads of the Patty Smyth featuring Don Henley variation, but the dark sexual politics of the heartbreak are more explicit. This is the night version.

I was listening to a lot of the xx and Sinead O'Connor when we wrote it and when re-recording it, I was listening to PJ Harvey almost exclusively. I wonder if this bleeds into the atmosphere.

"Stationary Life" by Palma Louca

Lyrics:
Who are we? 
In this stationary life
Collide, divide, decide who you are
Blue screen beams 
Another sleepless night 
Surprise surprise
Defy who you are 

All we want to today is anything that'll take our minds away
If you don't live now then you won't live forever 
Moving through the open space, we hope and pray, we'll find something to say
If you don't live now then you won't live forever

I hope you know, it's going to start to fall apart, like pieces, of paper, in the rain
Oh, when it's over, and you wake up at the start
Do you fear it?
Can you feel it?
In the flames 

Green screen dreams
And a silicone wife
You try and try to hide who you are 
Smoke screen screams
On the eve of the fight 
The lies the lies 
Define who you are 


All we want to today is anything that'll take our minds away
If you don't live now then won't live forever 
Moving through the open space, we hope and pray, we'll find something to say
If you don't live now then you won't live forever

I hope you know, it's going to start to fall apart, like pieces, of paper, in the rain.
Oh, when it's over, and you wake up at the start
Do you fear it?
Can you feel it? 
In the flames

Stationary Life

Palma Louca - Stationary Life

“Resistance,” the 2nd single from Yo Kinky’s debut EP (out 02/28/21), finds the duo exploring a more delicate yet simultaneously strong and confident mood. With Unish’s spaced-out, rockabilly-tinged guitar bouncing through the song’s driving, hypnotic layers of sound, they paint a sonic landscape that yearns for much-needed intimacy in a time of social distancing and isolation. As Wight’s vocals float above the surface, singing “Love is all we breathe” and “Swing me off my feet,” she transports the listener to places of rich yet strange beauty. “Resistance” alludes to keeping sanity amidst chaos with the warm and hopeful delivery of “Sight got back/I feel different/A flicker in the distance,” and finding contentment from the small things in life: “Everybody’s just around the corner now/Everything I need is just a short walk down the street.” This follow-up is sure to leave listeners with a sense of triumph against all odds.
