about

For Lydia.

lyrics

Some say the world will end in fire
Some say the righteous shall be flame
Meanwhile we balance on this wire
Hoping the gleam will light our way

Lydia I don’t know how you do it
But i know this place is better cause you’re here
Trace the lid of the cup try to quiet your mind now
And step away from the abyss

Some say the days are growing short
Some say the best is yet to come
You say there’s only one way out
And that’s to care for everyone

Lydia I don’t know how you do it
But i know this place is kinder cause youre here
Face the window and think of Yosemite
And step away… from the abyss

Lydia I don't know how you do it
But I know this world is stronger cause youre here
So put on Sigur Ros try to quiet your mind now
And step.. away.. from the abyss

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. Joel David Weir

Coward of Us All
by wrest

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. Joel David Weir

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! Joel David Weir
