lyrics

Every time you laugh, I can’t help but crack… even after all these years
sweeping dirty leaves, spring cleaning - its the holiest time of the year
Into the calm wave headspace, that unparalleled strength in your spine
Out of the deep dream, wake me to the best version of my short life
Your smell, and your skin, and your touch - bring me more comfort than any other drug
It’s the static, the way we go at it - the hunt’s over and I’m satisfied.
Into the hot sheet body that was forged in the fire of my mind
Out of the slow cope, work load, keep me revived and alive
Out of the side stepped, stiff necked, that invincible look in your eye
Convinced I’m yours now, sun shower, so clean and refreshed I could die.
Into the calm wave headspace, that unparalleled strength in your spine
Out of the deep dream, wake me to the best version of my short life

So delighted that Angel is finding that "hard won acceptance" that she sought and hope that her future path is one of authenticity. This work is one marked by melodious but not overwrought emotion, striking an intuitive balance of warmth and skill. hailhumanists

Maybe the best thing David ever did, which makes me extremely sad. A Jews record in all but name, but more direct in its lyricism without losing that indescribable feeling, that beauty and sorrow and lighthearted sarcasm all rolled into one profound set of lyrics that are David Berman. Not to mention the band playing on the record is probably the best Berman ever recorded with. Rest in Peace DCB. jack_thorn16
