well the waves are crashin hard
yeah the waves are crashin hard

and I don't know whether I'll make it back or not
they say don't you swim at night

but that's how I like it
cause I don't wanna see what's around me in the light

Gimme a
Gimme a sign
I will wait here I will fight
I will stay here by your side
I will stay here by your side
When they say that you are broken
I'll break my arms just to show them
I'll break my legs to stand for you
Gimme a
Gimme a sign
I've been a stranger all my life
you were the home I moved inside
you were the place that I could hide
When they say that you are broken
I'll break my arms just to show them
I'll break my legs to stand for you
When they say to move along
this isn't the cross to die upon
I will show up next to you
If you sing I'll sing along
one more day to hear your song
if they come I'll lock the door
if they ask for more
money just to keep you sick
tribute to the one percent
I'm a wounded lion
I'm a wounded lion
I'm a wounded lion
When they say that you are broken
I'll break my arms just to show them
I'll break my legs to stand for you
When they say that you are gone
when they say to move along
I will never forget you

Saint Squirrel

in the morning on the back porch waiting for us
don't you know he never really asks for much
oh, saint squirrel
eating only what the good lord provides
surviving the winter on what he hides
oh, saint squirrel
jerks gettin high while we sing our songs
cops showin up but they won't stay long
oh, saint squirrel
i wonder when you're gonna come see me again
sparrows above, sparrows within
oh, saint squirrel
this record's all about losing people I love
and the way I get through when I wanna give up
oh, saint squirrel

Joel David Weir recommends:
Cha Cha Palace
by Angélica Garcia
What can I say? I learned about AG from NPR, listened to "Cha Cha Palace" once..then again..then..I've lost track. It has made me rethink everything I thought I knew about songwriting. Its that good.
go to album
I love Wrest. Lots of heart and honesty under beautiful, smart song craft. I'm sharing this album because it was what got me hooked but the new EP is just as dazzling.

IT WON/T BE LIKE THIS ALL THE TIME LIVE
by The Twilight Sad
Another Scot band. This live record, released during the pandemic reminds me what I love about concerts. The energy is palpable on this. Life goal is to see The Twilight Sad, or open for them one day!
