Nothing Here (demo)

http://penfriend.rocks

I can’t do much of anything when I’m feeling down, let alone write a song about it, but one day in 2019 when I was trudging my way back, I made an attempt to leave a breadcrumb trail for my future self. 

"The Only Way Out Is Through" is my attempt to trap the "shapeless forces" that "pull at me", making them solid by assigning words to them, reducing their power and size to something I might feasibly be able to overcome. The aspirational sentiment that “resistance is crucial, forgiveness is beautiful” is one I find very hard to enact in the moment, but something I can at least continue to strive for. 

Ironically, this song is being released during my lowest fortnight of the last 12 months, so the safety line of lyrics I knotted inside the music is a helpful reminder of brighter days. 

The choice to release music in a universally dark time isn’t one I take lightly. “The Only Way Out Is Through” is the most resonant and useful piece of music I have to offer right now, a rescue raft for whoever needs one. 

That’s what this song is for me.

LYRICS 

Gotta get out of this 
Making a meal of distress 
Fatalistic to the bone 
Thunderclouds in every home 
Gotta get out of this 

The only way out is through 
Not gonna lose my heart - I never meant to 
The only way out is through 

Gotta get out of this 
Drowning in yesterday's tears 
Intimate conspiracies 
Shapeless forces pull at me 
Gotta get out of this 

The only way out is through 
Not gonna lose my heart - I never meant to 
The only way out is through 

The only way out is through 
Not gonna lose my heart 
I never meant to wish on a falling star 
But I won't let it go 

Denial take me away 
Pretend like I'm not the queen of stretching the days 
In all the wrong ways - til they break 
Denial take me away 
I crave your sweet mistakes but 
Resistance is crucial 
Forgiveness is beautiful 

The only way out is through 
Not gonna lose my heart - I never meant to 
The only way out is through

The Lonely Hunter

It's So Hard to Say Goodbye

Early raw punk energy, w drum freakouts, and a bass with a thumping tone. I mean, we can barely hear the guitar here, but I appreciate the suggestion. 

Could this be the equivalent of the Lomax recordings, but instead of blues, it's punks at some dive making their own version of no-wave?

This reminds me of Foams from Texas, if you know that also obscure record.  Collecting these one-offs from underground bands is its own artform.

Randy and The Randies - "Solar Myth" (1980)

PEEL is a band from Sydney making interdimensional guitar music. Weaving a sonic architecture built from elements of shoegaze, post-punk and psychedelia, the five-piece have come out of the gates with all engines firing. ‘Memory Loop’ is their first offering – a raw and potent four minutes of hypnotic, fuzzed-out pop.

Firestations - 'The Circular'

Daydream

Without their contribution to hold your sedan chair
You'd be plummeting to earth
Towards a ground now unfamiliar
Your life is like a monument to small achievements lost
That you'll never see in profile from a platform at the top

A taller tree will never reach its roots without a drop
And none would force the branches down for fear of getting knocked
Recognise the growth that cannot continue unstopped
In spite of much objection it cannot

So enthusiastic returning into frame
Smiling to camera
Never looking offstage
The audience is everywhere electric signals reach
You are a confident performer of words devoid of meaning

A taller tree will never reach its roots without a drop
And none would force the branches down for fear of getting knocked
Recognise the growth that cannot continue unstopped
In spite of much objection it cannot

A taller tree will never reach its roots without a drop
It's time to cut the branches back
All tangled up in knots
Recognise the growth that cannot continue unstopped
In spite of much objection it cannot

Taller Tree

From blissed out drones to fuzzed up garage rock, 3 chords good, 2 chords better, 1 chord perfect.  Listen to the full album now, on bandcamp.
