Striving to make a good feeling last
And try not to think of the past
What's a byline for a coward at the end of the earth?
When nothing he tries every works?
I'm an island a rock shacking up with the waves
Keeping a flare to be saved
But we can fly we've got engines
And I'm tired of sitting in the reeds
Cause it was never my intention
To break your heart and let it bleed
It's a tie in the race
Of failing at all of your dreams
Through some fault of your own
Will I recover from the bitterness that I hold?
Will I die before I get old?
But we can fly we've got engines
And I'm tired of sitting in the reeds
Cause it was never my intention
For all of this to come to be

It don't fall from the sky
But it if does
Wont you help me track it
And see where it lands?
It don't come up from the ground
But if it sprouts from the dirt
Won't you help me pull it up by its roots?
And I'll keep an eye out for you
If you keep one out for me
And I'll bring the reds and the blues
If you bring the yellows and greens
I see it in your eyes
The rivers and floods
Pouring through my weakened hands
Let's lay down among the stars
As they stare right back
We know we are coming down soon

Plans

Well he's painting in his garden
Sunflowers flowing with the gentle breeze
And I'm just sitting stuck here typing
Air conditioned stability
Oh I wonder did he ever
Think that he was going the right way
Or was it just that under his straw hat
He had more ideas than he ever did plans
When the sunflowers die
We welcome in the fall
With the changing of the leaves
Oh well did he lament
The end of the summer
Just like you and me
I'm always scared I can't get a thing right
And stubborn practicality is holding me back
But I can't see straight before it's too late
To take a jump off of the side track
All his old fears in ten short years
His fanatic heart poured into his brush
Takes more than canvas to make something last
Well pain and misfortune I ain't in no rush
Oh the sadness will last forever
But my body and soul never will
And one day we will lose all the sweetness
But we all have love in us still

Dead Billionaires Richmond, Virginia
ramshackle rock n roll from Richmond Virginia

Dutch Tulips has the best guitar tone in the biz. Catchy hooks and power pop vigor abound! Big uncontrollable smile music

You Belong Here
by Big Fundamental
Our brethren in rock n roll, Big Fundamental barge into the room with tumbling, visceral existentialism. Stu, Jono, and Gabe give warmth while telling no lies -- You Belong Here.

Youth Detention///(Nail My Feet Down To The Southside Of Town)
by Lee Bains + The Glory Fires
"Punk Skynyrd" is the too-short description of an awe-inspiring, complete force of a really damn lyrical album. Number 1 in the 6 CD changer since we bought the van.

Tough, tense songs from this Rochester group, where slashing guitars go head to head with sneering vocal melodies.
