lyrics
“Time’s not for wasting” - it is often said.
Never to believe your own progress.
Patiently waiting, wake me from the dead.
Trying to avoid all their compliments.
”I know the meaning” - it is often said.
Never to believe they’re all con men.
“Context” they’re crying, metaphor unread.
Struggle to make sense of the substance.
Lying when you know it’s true. Friends all feeling bad for you.
Who knows how to do it when you do?
But caught in a daydream, or sneaking out of bed?
Never to believe we’re all soloists.
When they prey on your age - that’s a sad, shameful, bitter charade.
And how you channel your hate is the most useful weapon to make.
“I’m not believing”, that’s so often said.
Never to agree on the far end.
Figuratively playing our best hand wouldn’t be the worst that could happen.
But too many will never try, wait for life to pass them by.
But your enemies will weaponize that lie.

Gorgeous fingerstyle guitar playing from this Portland, Oregon musician that captures the spirit of American Primitive in dazzling detail. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 30, 2021
The haunting new record from Canadian folk artist Avi C. Engel bridges old and new traditions with a minimalist approach. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 24, 2024
Modern American alt-rock, best when they practice tension then release, capable of melodic subtlety as on "Home" and "Get Down", with opener "Total Bore" a Talking Heads inspired attack on shallow self absorbed males. agutterfan
