I coveted you, my straining jewel
breaking through a shadow-shaded backdrop,
some gleam to grip and hold until my heart stops.
Please make this life a little longer,
please make me feel a little stronger.
I fear your absence and I hunger
for forever, eternal lack of slumber.

So we run for it,
collapse lungs for it.
It could be within my reach,
immortality.

"We have time," is never long enough.
This can never be prolonged enough for me,
the sight of my most precious shining thing.
I won't be afraid of wild thunder,
or a giant wave pulling me under.
With you, I'm happy just to wander
the endless light years left to ponder.

So we run for it,
collapse lungs for it.
it could be within my reach,
immortality.

We could drink from every fountain,
we could smell every flower,
explore every secret place on Earth,
Mars, and even Saturn.

Immortality

"Nice Wife' was released in 2014 by thing-one. The beginnings of this track we're worked on in 2009, and then rearranged in 2014 when thing-one began working on their newest album.

THING ONE is the pet project of childhood chums Joey Palestina and Spencer Miles. Originally melding elements of jazz and hip-hop, they released two LPs - 2005's debut Miles From the Road and the subsequent Ghettoskylinesuburbanfarmland. Defying categorization, THING ONE went on to reinvent themselves on the dance-rock inspired Ridiculous Speed EP and the follow-up You'll Be Fine LP in 2008. After a successful US tour (Flower Booking) kicking off at Bowery Ballroom, and playing with acts such as Matisyahu, Ra Ra Riot, and Jukebox The Ghost, THING ONE took it live to WOXY Cincinnati and had their most popular single ‘Move It’ in heavy rotation on WFUV 90.7 and Rochester WITR Radio. On New Years Eve, 2016 they released the indie-pop EP Fair Weather Friends. Layered with synth-centric melodies, programmed beats and deep bass grooves, THING ONE loves to genre jump, a la Beck, Ween and Flaming Lips, with a touch of Steely Dan’s meticulous attitude and The Beach Boys creamy harmonies. They recently opened for Gin Blossoms February 25th in their hometown of Montclair, NJ at Wellmont Theater.
