about
Addison's Notes:
This one's a Banger.
As soon as Lew showed me this one, I knew he really had something here. At first it was so novel to hear this song coming from us, but now it's something I expect of the group, having the band we do now, clad with a flowing bass player and a couple righteous horns.
Lew's Notes:
Thinking of Marvin on this one. The Moog Bass was one take.
lyrics
Every night I feel so lonesome
It’s because I know it’s through with you and me
And all the dreams that I’ve been dreaming of
Come to call like fallen leaves
And although I know it’d two divided
I can see my soul residing
And I want to hold onto what I can’t understand
If I’m leaving here tomorrow
I want to feel you with my hands
I want to hold onto what I can’t understand
If I’m leaving here tomorrow
I want to feel you with my hands
Is there a time you’ve taste a sweetness
So divine it fills your mind with honeybees?
When all the words you know have let you go
We seem to fall from all them things
And although I know it’s two divided
I can see my soul residing
And I want to hold onto what I can’t understand
If I’m leaving here tomorrow
I want to feel you with my hands
I want to hold onto what I can’t understand
If I’m leaving here tomorrow
I want to feel you with my hands
Why do you treat me this way?
Pretending I’m the only one
How do you think that I’m supposed to say
I’m burning out like the setting sun
Do you really believe that there’s someone for you?
Holding your hand, make you feel you’re the one
I can believe that there’s someone
Holding to nothing
Never to know when it’s done
And I want to hold onto what I can’t understand
If I’m leaving here tomorrow
I want to feel you with my hands
I want to hold onto what I can’t understand
If I’m leaving here tomorrow
I want to feel you with my hands

It takes its lack of seriousness seriously in the best kind of way--brilliant, unpredictable choices for this outstanding artist to cover with the likes of Roseanne Cash, Mary Chapin Carpenter, etc. All this Indiana gem is missing is a Jann Browne cover... Jake Stebner
This Calgary group makes goth-y post-punk attired in the brightly colorful arrangements of bleep-boop synthesized psychedelia. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 3, 2024
