lyrics

you can have another but take me as a lover i will be a secret that you keep
someone to remind you and yes to leave behind you and someone to recall when you’re asleep
and though i’m hoping that you’ll hear the many things i say
just remember all of them are off the record anyway

meet me by the water someone’s wife and someone’s daughter none of these will be my name today

just under two million this city has it’s fill of people living deep within it’s walls
fueled by valley power pumping watts for every hour oh and you would be the brightest of them all
and if we say goodbye like we always will i will watch you in my memory on that distant hill

meet me by the water someone’s wife and someone’s daughter none of these will be my name today

take me to the ocean the ever changing motion the highway 17 express will do
living on a fault line we don’t have a lot of time i read it in the mercury news
i know there must have been a way to fight the better fight to shine like santa clara country on it’s clearest night

meet me by the water someone’s wife and someone’s daughter none of these will be my name today

I’m so grateful this crossed my path. This album is so beautiful. All the clear technique and mastery and vision are kinda secondary to the fact that this album brought me calm and joy during one of the most difficult times in my life. Yeah, grateful. David McCullough

everything is alive

Shoegaze ist die Kunst des Dröhnens, doch „Everything Is Alive“ setzt diese Elemente nur sparsam ein. Statt Hall- und Zerr-Sounds aufzutürmen, schäumt die Musik in feinen Bläschen über. https://tortue.substack.com/i/140348114/slowdive-everything-is-alive-dead-oceans Daniel Welsch

I accidentally started listening to this band in 2020. Saved my life. Went to see them play a few weeks ago. Confirmed the joy of life. Buying album for my dad's birthday now. Happy days mcwuzza
