No sleep in the dunes
Among rotting ruins
The morning too soon, at least there’s a breeze
But back on the street
A much tougher feat
The friends and elites intensify the degrees
I’m feeling so blessed
I needed the rest
I’ve lately regressed, but the tones are unphased
The frequency hums
Where are my old chums?
The scattered alumns, not cut but since grazed

Cracks in My Smile
04:36
|
|||
|
My mistakes fly in the face of reason
I don’t know why I can’t fill in the cracks
Cracks in my smile, I know
It makes no sense
Face to face I’m out of place and time
I go straight back to where I can’t comply
I crack a smile, I know
It isn’t right
I can float above us all and disappear
Gravity will pull me back thank god
I love you more, than you know
The cracks in my smile
The fissures widen I rely on sanity
I can’t resist what takes me to the edge
I crack a smile
I know how to bring it back
Because I love you more
Than you know
The cracks in my smile

I’m missing you already
We barely got to talk
The space between us may have shrunk
But it’s still too far to walk
The shortest distance may not be
A straight line
And the brightest star that you can see
Is not always a sign
I just got home in time
I just got home in time
In time to say goodbye
I guess that I just missed you
But it’s so much more than that
I chased the windmills down the road
Now I don’t know where I’m at
I’m hoping that my message finds you
Before you go to sleep
I’m watching all the falling stars
And the river’s edge willows weep
I just got home in time
I just got home in time
In time to say goodbye

Tyrian Purple
05:47
|

|
I’ve been laid off
I’ve been paid off
I’ve been grounded
I’ve been surrounded
I have floundered
the warnings sounded
The worst unbounded
I’m left astounded
But my county’s seated
I’m undefeated
My forehead’s beaded
no crutch is needed
The garden’s weeded
The lawn is seeded
but yet I’m pleading
Maybe I’m just greedy
I want to wear the Tyrian Purple
I want to feel the power
Bathed in moonlight
and pulled into the night
The brothers and sisters
get what the gist is
got with the mystic
spun the pandemic
flamed all the fans
blamed all the bans
kicked all the cans
damned all the damned
I want to wear the Tyrian Purple
I want to feel the power
bathed in moonlight
And pulled into the night

Yves Klein Blues

Yves Klein had the blues
Halley had his comet
All I want from you
Is to be known as your other
So Sousa hold the phone
Baby make me your own
Catherine hold your wheel
Munchausen quit your grousin’
All I want to feel
Is to be known as your other
So like Windsor with his cravat
Baby let’s tie the knot
Bernoulli you lifted more than just some airplane’s wings
You made me sing
Gallup take a poll
And Hammond play your organ
I just want to be whole
To be known as your other
Nabokov had his butterflies
Just make me your guy
Bernoulli you lifted more than just some airplane’s wings
You made me sing
Yves Klein had the blues
Halley had his comet
All I want from you
Is to be known as your other

Nothing’s Ever Lost
04:24

Nothing’s Ever Lost
things just disappear
An echo in your ear
that never fades
Nothing’s Ever Lost
like a kiss upon your lips
Or when you lose your grip
and walk away
Nothing’s ever really lost
Nothing’s Ever Lost
I’ll see you in my dreams
Although the plot may seem
Too thick to understand
Nothing’s ever really lost
It’s not time to panic now
My patience will allow
You will come back to me
I don’t know what to say
except I know that I can wait
I stumble but i always find
Those things I left behind
Nothing’s ever really lost

Take Care
06:26
|

Take care of me
And I’ll take care of you
Take care of me
And I’ll take care of you
Black ice formed sometime in the night
Waiting on the road in a starless sky
You Can Dance, you can dance, on the radio played
A car spun out, contradictions laid
It’s just like me to dislocate
evaporate and dissipate
But just like these forgotten fields
you needn’t wonder what I will yield
Take care of me
And I’ll take care of you
Take care of me
And I’ll take care of you
It’s better when we do
The windmills pass and the stillness reveals
The coming storm and what we feel
So rolling thunder, let roll away
The choice was never not to stay
Take care of me
And I’ll take care of you
Take care of me
And I’ll take care of you
It’s better when we do

Matter
06:14
|

|
In the connection of things something was frayed
Lost souls and apparitions could not be contained
There were rusted machines and stalled limousines
In the dark web of things there was a small patch of green
The car veered off the bridge and plunged into the river
A bubble rose to the surface, a message delivered
Way down in the depths it was icily calm
As he waited for the pressure to even there was no cause for alarm
There were rusted machines and old limousines
The sun cut through the surface and found a small patch of green
What’s the matter with you, did you not see the light bloom?

Look Out Below
03:13
|

|
Gravity you let me down
Darkness you forgot me
I could not see the steps ahead
the floor came up behind
The fatal stairs beneath my feet
Michael came before me
He waits to greet me one more time
Be steady he’s imploring
Look Out below, look out below
Believe, believe in what you know
Look out below, look out below
A premonition, less a dream
Don’t self-fulfill your prophecy
A hand upon the steel rail
May be all you need
Look Out below, look out below
Believe, believe in what you know
Look out below, look out below
Take care, beware

The turkey buzzards overhead
tell me that I’ve been left for dead
To make a case to carry on
To drone or not to drone I think
We ponder as we sip our drinks
And make a case to carry on
Cut off your nose to spite your face
Who thought of that must have had a case
A case, a case to carry on
Leave on a jet plane tears on my face
No one’s gonna give up any space
For a case, a case to carry on
I’ve got twenty ways to Sunday
I’ve got a dozen ways to fail
I always make it through to Monday
I find a way, a way to fill the sail
It gets so hard, so hard to win
You learn to take it on the chin
To make a case to carry on
I thought this day would never come
When we would sing it out as one
And make a case to carry on
To make a case to carry on

Wish Too Far
03:19
|
|||
|
A clover or a coin
A pebble or a grape
A penny or a lightning strike
I have a wish that I wish
to make tonight
A candle blown out
A dandelion blown
Seven waves jumped
I have a kite to fly above
a grave tonight
Ramcharitmanas
Held in my left hand
A red thread, a black thread
My eyelash found by my love
held to my lips
Wishing stones and honey
Seven hundred eighty-six
an ax thrown a wishbone snapped
a length of it to decide
who gets their wish
A wish too far
Take all these wishing things
And throw them in a pot
Stir them with a feather
And then you'll see what it is that you have got or maybe not

Got up at ten, that was kind of late
Made some breakfast, cleared some plates
I wondered aloud what the hell am I doing
Time to make a plan, get something brewing
Every Time This Day it Rains
Today was the day the Sandhill Cranes
Flew overhead on the way to the plains
They made a racket a glorious sound
They beat their ancient wings until the rain came down
Every Time This Day it Rains
I’m moving along, I’m making some noise
Got things to shout I’m making a choice
Time to make a racket, stop using my brain
I know I’m headed home on the sandhill exchange
Every Time This Day it Rains

Eleventh Dream Day Chicago, Illinois

On "Since Grazed" Rick Rizzo, Janet Bean (Freakwater), Doug McCombs (Tortoise, Brokeback, Pullman), and Mark Greenberg (The Coctails) are joined again by Jim Elkington (Tweedy, Steve Gunn). ... more

Me and my friend used to go on drives all the time, and a lot of the time i asked what he was playing, and a majority of the songs were from Yo La Tengo. And since i went and listened to And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside-Out i was fan. Never thought i’d buy one of their records for myself.

This Stupid World
by Yo La Tengo
supported by 50 fans who also own “Since Grazed”
It all starts with Daydream Psycho Nation Candy guitar mashed with Boon-Ginn riffs channeling Velvet era Reed under a krautrock beat and early YLT looped back in. Or all of those merely constitute the Fourier decomposition of YLT signals transmitted through space and time. Highly non-linear beauty.

The latest Djunah LP channels the duo's heavy, intensely cathartic sound to reflect on living with and healing from trauma.

The third album from the Chicago band features upbeat Americana alt-rock underscored by themes of uncertainty and upheaval.

The Chicago group continue their sonic evolution, sounding more like Van Morrison than Ty Segall.

What a GREAT album! It has been a while since I found an album that I could listen to from beginning to end without skipping. Classic Ian MacKaye vocals. Amy Farina absolutely kills it on drums. I hadn't heard of Joe Lally on Bass, but really enjoyed his singing/bass. I highly advise checking this out. You'll get hooked. I love "Clean Kill" but "BQM" does it for me (love the beat). Congrats Coriky! Nicely done! Can't wait to see you live!!!
