lyrics
now lost at sea, where to confide?
nowhere to go, no place to hide
it barely seems that you’re alive
because you see right through me
so you look away when you say hello
blank eyes caught up in the undertow
so your hopes won't sink tied to a stone
floating like blue buoys
dropped an ocean inside your skull
the monochrome life is awfully dull
throw your headphones on and fade away
yeah, that'll be the day
hey, you know, you’re drowning yourself when you say "I’d rather be alone"
hey, you know, you're choking yourself when you say "I’d rather live alone"
hey, don’t you know, you're stabbing yourself when you say "I’d rather stay alone"
better drain that ocean before you're all gone
now lost at sea (where to confide?)
nowhere to go (no place to hide)
it barely seems that you're alive
because you see right through me
so you look away (when you say hello)
blank eyes caught up (in the undertow)
so your hopes won't sink tied to a stone
floating like blue buoys
(was all that you loved cast down the river?
all that you loved swept out to sea?)
nowhere to go, no place to hide
it barely seems that you’re alive
because you see right through me
so you look away when you say hello
blank eyes caught up in the undertow
so your hopes won't sink tied to a stone
floating like blue buoys
dropped an ocean inside your skull
the monochrome life is awfully dull
throw your headphones on and fade away
yeah, that'll be the day
hey, you know, you’re drowning yourself when you say "I’d rather be alone"
hey, you know, you're choking yourself when you say "I’d rather live alone"
hey, don’t you know, you're stabbing yourself when you say "I’d rather stay alone"
better drain that ocean before you're all gone
now lost at sea (where to confide?)
nowhere to go (no place to hide)
it barely seems that you're alive
because you see right through me
so you look away (when you say hello)
blank eyes caught up (in the undertow)
so your hopes won't sink tied to a stone
floating like blue buoys
(was all that you loved cast down the river?
all that you loved swept out to sea?)

Mighty Social Lion
by The J. Arthur Keenes BandHonestly, I don't know if I'd even be making music today had I never found the J. Arthur Keenes Band. This LP from the project is easily among my all-time favorite pop albums.

Flower Of Life [LP]
by Taleen Kali"Flower Of Life" yanks riot grrrl south through the unmistakable garage psych sound indispensable to the last 20-odd years of rock music out of Los Angeles.
