Push It

I don't want to be here
I could tell you that one hundred times or more
But you wouldn't listen, would you?
With this thorn in my side
I will take the flight at midnight
To escape the fears that you have christened deadly
Push it all away
Push it all away
Push it all away
Let it slide
Let it slide away
Push it all away
Push it all away
Melatonin, nicotine
One last call for us if you know
If you know what I mean, and you do
You don't remember kissing me so hard
Across the bridge at midnight
But I swear to Christ it's all I think about now
It's all I think about
Push it all away
Push it all away
Push it all away
Let it slide
Let it slide away
Push it all away
Push it all away
Let it slide
'Cause I just might
Let it die

Gutted

Splintered glass is falling, falling from your eyes
I am only speaking in half truths and whole lies
I know that I’m sorry, sorry for betraying
All that I can do now is sit right down and wait
But she’s coming down the hall
And I’m here to catch her fall
There’s time to heal but I still feel
Nothing, nothing at all
Love is wasted on the youthful and naive
They're forever wearing hearts upon their sleeves
I know that I’m selfish and I cannot get out
All that I can do now is sink into the crowd
But she’s coming down the hall
And I’m here to catch her fall
There’s time to heal but I still feel
Nothing, nothing at all
Could I be the one to get out?
Paralyzed by my own self doubt
Could I be the one?
Could I be the one?
Now I’m just sat here gutted
But she’s coming down the hall
And I’m here to catch her fall
There’s time to heal but I still feel
Nothing, nothing at all

Your Rose
05:01
|

|
When you walked away
I just let you leave
Like a prisoner
of my own fate
So I watched you go
Lightyears down the road
Now I’m falling like
A sinking stone
I want you to know
I can only be
Your rose
And I can only grow
For the perfect love
That I let go
Gotta get myself away from my head these days
Gotta get myself away from my head
I gotta get away
Another wasted day
Sat here on display
Like an animal
Just captured prey
Stuck inside this cage
Anger turns to rage
Cannot calm myself
I pushed you away
I want you to know
Only I can be
Your rose
And I can only grow
For the perfect love
That I let go
Gotta get myself away from my head these days
Gotta get myself away from my head
I gotta get away
…always be your rose

Concertina

Take your time today
In hopes to make things better
Take your time today
Take your time
when you want to say
That you would like to make things better
Take your time
when you want to say
That means you will find
That means you will find a way
That means you will find a way
Hoping for one last caress
A concertina with an evil hex
Romantic calm in deep distress
Take your time when you want to say
That you know it cannot get better
Take your time
And slowly walk away
That means you will find
That means you will find a way
That means you will find a way

Fade

She walks out in the moonlight
She walks out of control
She steps into a picture frame
A postcard from the road
Golden hair, pale blue eyes
Cigarette stains on her smile
Take my hand, little girl
Pull me into your grey world
'Cause I get high on pain
And you've got demons in your brain
All those words I couldn't say
Will just linger 'til they fade
I'll bottle up this moonshine
Like memories of you
Been busy burning photographs
And hiding from the truth
Another glass of your red wine
A finger tracing down your spine
How good it feels to be loved
Even by a wounded dove
'Cause I get high on pain
And you've got demons in your brain
All those words I couldn't say
Will just linger
'Cause I get high on pain
And I know you feel the same
All those words I couldn't say
Will just linger
As I hear the train approaching
I can tell that I'm not welcome
Will you still take me home tonight?
Take me home
'Cause I get high on pain
And you've got demons in your brain
All those words I couldn't say
Will just linger
'Cause I get high on pain
And I know you feel the same
All those words I couldn't say
Will just linger 'til they fade

Only Haters Left Alive
03:43
|
|||
|
God gave me one direction
And it's fucking forward
Fucking forward
God didn't give me a name
A patron saint of sleep and shame
Followed closely by a chaser of fame
Only haters left alive
Only haters in your life
Hell yeah
God gave me one direction
And it's fucking forward
Fucking forward
I took two steps back into the flame
A spider web beneath your skin
Left shoulder blade
14 year old sin
Nothing's changed
Only haters left alive
Only haters in your life
Hell yeah
Only haters left alive
Only haters in your life

Rifle
04:10
|

|
I hear the sirens in the night
As they fade away into
The East River
And the Meadowlands
You call to say goodbye
I close my eyes and dream
I’m standing inside
my old house again
Try to keep the camera steady
But I’m too weak, it’s all too heavy now
How was your trip out west?
Did you take the 66?
The sky out there
just stretches on for miles
Back here in Manhattan
I’m trapped by melting steel
They say that jet fuel
burns so easily
Try to hold the rifle steady
But I’m too weak, it’s all too heavy
It's all too heavy now
It’s all too heavy
It’s all too heavy now
It’s all too heavy now
It’s all too heavy now
Try to hold the rifle steady
But I’m too weak, it’s all too heavy

Speeding Away to Someday
by Fleeting Joys
supported by 4 fans who also own “Your Rose”
Wow! Y'all have outdone yourselves on this one. It is pure shoegaze noise bliss. Swirling like I did in my acid days to MBV. It's retro, it's modern, it's disconnect jagged edge.

Amazing EP. I've been listening to this at least once a month for the past year. It might not be the most experimental stuff in the genre right now, but it's super solid and everything it needs to be. Can't wait for a full record.

Their best album yet, just packed with killer dreamy shoegaze. And as you'd hope, it's fantastically noisy live.

There You Ain't
by Grave Saddles
Twangy grunge? Dinosaur Jr. except make it Emmylou Harris? It's real on the new EP from California band Grave Saddles.
go to album
Melodic post-grunge that eschews all of the negative connotations of that phrase and embraces all the positives: huge hooks, huge-r riffs.

From Where I'm Standing
by Gilah
The latest EP from Brooklyn’s Gilah is an explosion of sound and color, with oceanic guitars and dreamlike melodies.

supported by 4 fans who also own “Your Rose”
1st Release from NorCal Dreampoppers sets the tone with shimmering guitars and warm breathy female vocals floating over the top of these delicate pop melodies. "Shell" is best example of description above. "Memories" ventures into 'shoegaze" territory with intricate repeating pattern & phased guitar fills. Very catchy debut.
