------------------------------------------------

I said now’s the time to succumb to 
All that we've gone through
Then maybe we can let it slip away

(We) can open our eye too
Cause we’ve all been lied to
It’s not too late to spark the light in it
  
I’m not gonna get down 
Not gonna get down
Hang on tight cause  
I can feel it slip away  

I said they believe what they want to
About what we’ve gone through
But I say we can let it slip away

(We) can open our eye too
Cause we’ve all been lied to
It’s not too late to spark the light in it 

I’m not gonna get down 
Not gonna get down
Hang on tight cause 
I can feel it slip away  

I won’t ask you if you’ll be my lady
But I’m gonna hold you like you’re my baby
This situation’s got me feelin’ hazy
What are we doing cause this is crazy

And on and on it goes 
This constant battle 
Everybody grows through
Why… why do we bother?     

On and on and on and on it goes
And where it stops 
No one knows

Slip Away

This is a Sparklehorse cover.  It's my favorite song about being a dad.  Happy Father's Day everybody. --Jake

Everything You Need

On February 14th, indie-pop quintet, the breakups released their first full-length album, "running jumping falling shouting."

The band formed in 2005 after Gideon’s long-time girlfriend dumped him and the co-founding member of his previous band suddenly decided to move to Virginia after they had played only one show.  With two back-to-back breakups under his belt, Gideon turned heartache into a band name.

On Valentine’s Day of 2008, the breakups released the "eat your heart out ep" to positive reviews.  The EP reached #66 on the CMJ Top 200, with 29 Top 10 chartings at radio stations around the country.  Several of the songs found placement on TV and in film, and Nic Harcourt recently made one of the tracks, “after the fact,” his Daily Connection on KCSN in Los Angeles.

The new 12-song LP has a clarity and confidence that conjures hints of Wilco, The Shins, The New Pornographers, and Elliott Smith, while maintaining a strong identity of its own.
