Limited edition run of 100 (Unless you guys rapidly convince me otherwise! You read that right....CASSETTE!!! Pressed through NYC's own Cryptic Carousel.
The tapes will come with download cards and you'll still get to download the album to all of your favorite devices, but this album just felt musically and aesthetically like it belonged on something odd and nostalgic and a little old school. Plus, let's be honest you don't primarily really use your CD's beyond a download anyway and I needed something quirky and physically enticing! This is my first cassette release and it will be a limited run so pick them up now, only 100 available!!
Includes unlimited streaming of I've Been Thinking...
via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.
The friend zone conundrum. When you share infinity between you and someone else, but it feels like there is infinity between you and someone else. The fine line between love and lust. Infatuation as a dangerous thing. Misguided dedication.
lyrics
Friend boat stranded in a friend zone
any romantic port wine in the brainstorm
hang on! We'll get home!
Candle-lit dinner, and the wit and the wick withers
the laughter's wisp and our wind whispers
dance the dim flames' fanciful flickers!
Cupid's gift even to shoot the shit,
who wouldn't wish on monkey's paws
for this kind of night?
I could die! Eye to tiger eye. (Life of Pi.)
It's Rocky inside this blind
this tunnel-vision-of-love-boat
your line of stripes I idolize
curious-Cat-walking on a rope, high and tight
thin line divides love and friends,
subtle gestures, time and time again
loving Jester unicycles on a 3rd wheel
hug you tender, whether ugly tense struggles
with an ex left high and dry deserted in this therapeutic trend.
Vertigo avert and go through it all depressed
than risk pedaling next to the pedestal apex
vexed, upsetting upending it again
as if peeking the pinnacles' peak I could Everest.
Loose lips sink ships
Secrets don't make friends,
but keeping secrets CAN keep friends safe in the end.
The issue with emotions that goes without saying is:
what actually happens if you go without saying it?!
Every dog has it's day I'll be your best friend,
When spent with you the evening's special
I feel Pavlov trained, love I need to listen,
When, yes: we click on every level.
Every dog has it's day I'll be your best friend,
When spent with you the evening's special
I feel Pavlov trained, love I need to listen
When, yes we click on every level
Friend boat, Jump ship, overboard friend zone
“loose lips sink ships” Mum though in love SO deep.
Romantic eyeful, Paris tones supple sweet
Downtrodden periscope, pair is gold ...submarine.
Synced up, I long to surface just to breathe
these souls belong solely on the surface
so, we slowly float to go be on the surf and its subtleties
never go beyond the surface and it's suddenly
a sir fit to hug and needy surfeits of struggling.
some tidal hint and tab,
suds and tide pool grips and grabs
“but subtitles this and that!”
some tied to...tit for tat
Summarized by tiffs and tasks,
Gasp as I drown in the jealousy!!
Felon, fiend fevered cabin pressure
crushed just the things you loved to bring into the friendship
the S.S. Label came from integral letters in “poSSeSSion”
and your amiable to-do expression
became “am I able to do what you've expected?”
the risk expensive cant gamble our extensive
perfection for presumptuous preference of connection.
Every dog has it's day I'll be your best friend,
When spent with you the evening's special
I feel Pavlov trained, love I need to listen,
When, yes: we click on every level.
Every dog has it's day I'll be your best friend,
When spent with you the evening's special
I feel Pavlov trained, love I need to listen
When, yes we click on every level
misinterpretations lead to disappointed anger
feeling lead on, weighed down by this appointed anchor
It seems the higher that you rank her
The more a siren's rejection inspires your rancor
looking for any port in the storm and
imagine as women,
specifically talented and gorgeous
Just looking for a friend but everyone wants more and
others have ulterior motives
you're a tease or a slut if you're open to closeness
but at arm's length they focus on the shoulder chips
of "a cold bitch",
either way to my dismay I can say you won't win!
My point is only this:
What's wrong with close friends?
Why all of this ownership?!
Is it a component of loneliness?
Now I toe the fine line
that you think strings along
towing you when I'm kind
and produces kinks in yarns
spinning yarns like yearning heads
for those who are turning heads
think about it: we put a tag in a place
when something passes away and that is a shame
if youre infatuated, enamored, pacing,
waiting impatient for a relationship status to change
if THAT is the case, and that is your aim:
is an animal great only once it's captured and taken
from its natural state?
sedated, named, packaged and caged
displaced, placed captive to claim
"I have it in my habitat I'm happy to say!
validate me with valid dating or cast me away"
it's the trip not the pin drop that informs you.
you shouldn't feel bound to bind someone because a bond's true
most want their own somebody and warm truth
other's want to own anybody, I warn you:
There's a huge difference between
"I want you to be happy"
And
"To be happy, I want you"

Creating to connect. Obsessively exploring and creating art as healing and growing.
Deeply vivid/introspective lyrics populate this ambitious folk rock project. The arrangements span from mellow/minimal to rocking and grandiose. Consistently emotive, unique and sincere. Brilliance. AllOne
Progressive yet punk, aggro yet emotional. One of my favorite bands from Long Island and doing everything they can to live up to their name, raising money for causes and making badass music, AllOne
I have been listening to variations of this album a long time. I remember I was living in a cardboard dumpster when some young guy was like yo dude it's gonna rain come crash on my couch. He played The Many Faces of Oliver Hart for me. I fell in love, I set my favorite track as Rain because we looped it when the rain came. That was one of the early acts of kindness I received in the nearly 20 years I've been homeless. @NomadRoamsFree
