lyrics

Hooked to the double feature and you're on my mind 
Return of the Creature that crawled out from the subway line 
You always keep me waiting for you 

Hooked to the candelabras and the nighttime friends 
A cloud coming over the line where the horizon ends 
But please just keep me waiting for you 

Hooked to the double feature and you're on my screen 
And I've gotten far too old to know what that could mean 
You always keep me waiting for you

Full album here: https://lipsrecords.bandcamp.com/album/wylie-something-genuine-moments

Today was a nice fall day and I got to wear a jacket. Decided that maybe that it'd be a good occasion to release this album, but had to wait to go home and export the mixes. 

I've been sitting on this entire album for around a year or so. It's a collection of songs from 2013 to early 2017 that I never really planned on doing anything with. 

When I was transcribing the lyrics, I realized that there was a theme--all of these songs were about singular isolated moments. And a lot of them are self-loathing and bummed out, but at the end of the day they're still genuine. I learned a lot about myself revisiting these songs and it's been weird. A lot has changed pre and post college career, but a lot has stayed the same. I haven't released any music since January 2016. Local Onlys debut still isn't out and its been finished for 3 years. I can't remember the last time I wrote a song--but it means the world for people to ask where all the music has been. Hopefully you enjoy this lil project.

Jacob Wylie ~ It's Not Easy to Love

some sort of walkabout 
hermetic, yet speaks a lot 
asks self "how?" 
soggy ground 
feels like self is rambling now 

crawlin' through the cardboard town 
sticky eyes, there's nothing to buy 
ready to go to sleep now 
feel no shame if it's not real 
supervisors are no longer around 
crawlin' through the cardboard town

LYRICS 

Every time I turn around you’re following me, following me down 
And I don’t mind
Deny me and try to act tough what do you think this is 500 days of love 
Zooey Dechanel!

There she goes, down the basement stairs.
There she goes, nobody cares because she’s just another depressed girl who just wants another messed up girl, say…

Tune it out and fill up the glass you’re never gonna get Ingrid’s autograph. 
I don’t mind.
You and Maggie can work it out it’s the new normal without a doubt. 
Why you?

There she goes, down the basement stairs.
There she goes, nobody cares because she’s just another depressed girl who just wants another messed up girl, say…



The Cascos ~ Basement Stairs

one condenser mic (and a dream)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
LIPS Recs started back in 2012 with the goal of recording some music with whatever gear that was laying around. it all started with one condenser mic and some studio one software.
the eras:
dojo i (2012-2013) ~ childhood bedroom in buffalo, NY with a drum set
dojo ii (2013-2017) ~ dorm rooms in philly
dojo iii (2018-2019) ~ south philadelphia home with a full diy studio
just a collection of music made by friends for friends.
dojo iv (2019-present) ~ ruff buff resting place

be a friend!
