date of discovery: october, 2017
binaural frequency: E
species: lampshade

lyrics

four hundred ninety thousand miles an hour.
but you don't feel it
you've still got blood in your chest
but you don't believe it

you're making your soft choices
when no one sees it
you're making your tender exchanges
in everything affected

I don't know what it is,
but feels
different
every time

and you're hoping it's something real
am I as miserable as I feel?
isn't there something you wanna say?
suspension of belief is killing me
in the oblivious significance,
singing entropy is abdicated

I don't know what it is
but it feels
different
every time
I don't know what it is
but it feels
different
every time

So I heard you gals on NPR and made a note to check you out because I liked what I heard. I came here and listened to Concrete Beach and... wow... holy shit. I'm a 42 year old life-long music fanatic and this is one of the best albums I've ever heard in my life! It excited me more than anything that I've heard in years. I can't wait to hear your new album, can't wait to see you live, and you deserve to be huge!! spidermanngp
