Oh no it's me
caught up again
inside my tomb
making plans
I give you more
than I have
this wrecking game
feels so bad
who can see behind their eyes
who can tell what is wrong or true
is it just you
to hold out
till the end alone
must I own my will
to be strong and hang on
I will hang on
when the rains come
and wash away
all I've come from
The burning spear
of desire
no longer takes me
any higher
who can see behind their eyes
who can tell what is wrong or true
let it be you
from the start
cause you know
what to live for
never goes
it just knows
and makes you move on
I will hang on
I will hang on
oh I feel free
when idle time
no longer coils
'round this heart of mine
I now can see
what light looks like
the battle field's
just in your mind
who can see behind their eyes
who can tell what is wrong or true
let it be you
to be pushed
and to never stop giving
you must own your will
to be strong and hang on
I prefer the more intimate tunes like the opening track, but the entire album is stellar. I also enjoy the weird chord progressions in tunes like "Time Escaping" that don't seem to work at first, but it all falls into place nicely. The album builds over time and gets louder and spacey. Should make for a great live show. Bart
Gaelynn Lea won NPR's Tiny Desk Contest, and it's easy to see why. Haunting, beautiful country songs, laced up with weeping fiddle lines. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 3, 2016
