Sharp as a childhood warning
And slick like magazine
Hot as a cardboard cup
And sweet as medicine
We're going to stray where the world won't want us
We're going to run out of every seam
We're going to build every stitch back up
Just to prove we've been
And we are here
We are here
We will always be here
High as an M1 hoarding
And slip like margarine
Hard as a curb-stone fall
And then street as anything
We're going to stray where the world won't want us
We're going to run out of every seam
We're going to build every stitch back up
Just to prove we've been
And we are here
We are here
We will always be here

Somewhere in a dream
I know you remember me
Somewhere in a dream
I know you remember me
Oh, my darling boy
Oh, my darling boy
Somewhere in a dream
There's a warm and shining sea
And you will cling to me
And I to you eternally
Oh, my darling boy
Oh, my darling boy

Summer's in the hedgerow now
And I'm walking home to you
The silence in the morning light
Reminds me of the truth
And the seventeen years since I
Met you in our youth
Little did we know then how
Life would turn out
The summer's in the way
You turn your mind away
The summer's in the way
Your mood will twist and sway
The summer's in heart of all you do
The summer's in the heart of all you lose
Laid out in the midnight grass
With a star for every fool
That loved you from the minor league
Gave up their heart in school
But happy we little band
Devotedly uncool
Little did we know then how
Life would turn out
The summer's in the way
You turn your mind away
The summer's in the way
Your mood will twist and sway
The summer's in heart of all you do
The summer's in the heart of all you lose

Love this album. Really evokes the atmosphere of rural life, love and loss. I listen to it as I put my 1 year old grandson to bed.

such bad things happen
by Levi Fuller & the Library
Turbulent indie rock from Levi Fuller & the Library that has the snarl of hardcore and the knotty meter of math rock.
go to album
Father and daughter team up to make pretty folk music inspired by the day she was born and the day she'll leave home.

Sorry I'm So Sensitive
by Bea Stewart
The second EP from Northern Irish singer-songwriter Bea Stewart runs from gentle folk to pillowy pop ballads, all perfectly executed.

this album has been the soundtrack to my last five months. my favorite track varies from day to day and mood to mood, but moths in the gaslight is always near the top. there's something very lived in about the world that boden paints with this one, and the thread of yearning that trails throughout brings this open sort of tenderness to an otherwise burning world, which just feels endlessly, beautifully human.
