Heart Like a Maze

We’re slow with the language 
We're quick with the hands 
Throw them up, it’s a roller coaster 
Going down 
Fall off breathless, get on again 

We’re slow with the meanings 
Quick with the facts 
Quick with the kisses, low in the tracks 
We give it up 
Make sure we always take it back 

Speed of the release creates a tension in the time we keep 
It slows time down when we tangle, when we reach 
Preach to the choir, burning up the telephone wires 
Cause those who can’t do, teach 

We're wrecked and affected 
But it’s all right 
Slow to recover, quick to fight 
Against mathematics 
That can never ever ever be made right 

We're slow to complain 
But we're quick to kick it 
Quick to submit to it 
Slow to explain it 
But we're trying 

Speed of the release creates a tension in the time we keep 
It slows time down when we tangle, when we reach 
Preach to the choir, burning up the telephone wires 
Cause those who can’t do, teach 

We fluidly move into 
Concrete situations 
And we don’t know how we got there 
It breeds complications, but it's all right, it's all right 
It's complicated

WHY SO CHEERIOUS

The Grimm Generation (www.thegrimmgeneration.com) began with Carmen Champagne and Jason P Krug who used a core level need to confess to create characters that spoke to larger emotional or cultural issues within the context of the 3:30 Pop length song. The Grimm Generation has released 4 EP's and one full length release, 2011's 'The Last Record Party' (http://grimmgeneration.bandcamp.com/releases), a well reviewed debut with international notices within UK, Spain and Sweden.

While touring throughout the Northeast, The Grimm Generation fell in with some like minded musicians who brought flesh to the bare bones style of Carmen and Jason. Eric Bloomquist's bass and Julie Kay's cello held the sound with steel and velvet as 'Killer' Kerry Miller drums drove and swerved on the curves. Multi instrumentalist Lys Guillorn brought a palette of her own unique shades with lap steel, banjo, glockenspiel and mandola. The  material they played over 2012 was brought into producer Tyler Bird's studio and started recording January 2013.
