Hitchhiking, and nobody knows
How long that I've been on this road
And how long that I have left to go
But I am too tired to care anymore
The best I can do is fail but endure
So go on and say it if you want
Tell me about the man I'm not
Why do I think so little of myself?
Is it supposed to work
When you turn the dirt over and over and over again?
Is it supposed to hurt?
Every day you grow colder and colder and colder
Rock climber, in Joshua Tree
Make me believe
That life can come easily
Tell me what I am doing wrong
Why I can't find where I belong
All of the places I have been
Have nothing to do with what's ahead
Why do I think so little of myself?

Wyoming, how could you do this to me?
How much more road could there be?
Rode through rain half of the day
Wishing that you weren't so gray
But sometimes there's no other way
Someday, I know we'll make it out alive, I know
Till then, I have to struggle and survive alone
Dakota, so empty I couldn't see
Anything but misery
But you looked so pretty tonight
That it was almost worth the fight
Pitch my tent, turn out the light
Did you have to be so cold?
I'm trying to forget about it

So long, Huaycán
What do I do, without the weight of you?
Come on, tell me what you want
'Cause I don't know anymore

The snow is blue under the moon
It shines on me, tries to reach you
But you're preoccupied
Wrapped up in your own lie
And I'm alone outside
My mind's washed by the tide
A memory you are only
And the moon helps me forget you
These glacial hills roll by me
With snow drifts I am flowing
The snow is blue under the moon
The sunrise weaves a new cocoon
No longer I will ponder
With this I have released you

Worry Waste
03:01
|

|
Fool, placing pillows out just right
Feel, myself laying on your chest
Don't you worry baby, it's ok
Worry wastes our spirits anyway
And at night when I lay all alone
I'll picture you next to me calm and warm
All I need is a place to rest
Glow, here comes my awakening
Though it tends to hurt, I do maintain
I still sleep on your side of the bed
I'll try not to think on you too much
Give me heaven's idea where you stand
Your warmth it has faded from here
Now I am back to guessing
What it feels like to know your place
Should I let my shy adherence grow?

The Further That We Run
04:01

When I was eight years old
I'd spend all day catching toads
To throw them in the river
Just throw them in the river
My mother told me boy
Don't let these people tell
You that you won't be nothin'
You'll always be my baby
I think about her some
Being her youngest son
And whether not I'm living
Up to the things I could be
I think about her some
Laying out in the sun
Telling me to be careful
Sorry I wasn't careful
The further that we run
We run away together
The less I can remember
The less I can remember
And that's exactly how
I wanted it to work
This day will last forever
Today will last forever
You lost your wedding ring
I told you not to worry
My mother pawned her's only
To pay rent one December
You lost your wedding ring
And now you're crying only
This day won't last forever
That's why I don't remember

Huaycán Song #2
04:45
|
|||

All I want to do is sit right down beside you
Sing you songs and find a dream to run and hide to
So why'd you tell me that you love me now
If you were only gonna leave me anyway?
All I wanted was to hear you call me baby
Now where've you gone? You're always disappearing lately
Why'd you tell me that you love me now
If you were only gonna leave me lonely?
Hell if I know baby
What I'm supposed to say to you
Hell if I know baby
If what you're saying isn't true
I trust you though
And I'll keep loving you so
Franky used to sing me songs about the ocean
And all that I could do was keep my lips in motion
How could I tell him if I loved him now
If I was only gonna leave him anyway?
God I miss the way your mouth felt when it opened
And the way you look just after you've awoken
Here's to every night on which my heart was broken
I wish I never had to leave you anyway

Song from Henry's Yard

Baby would it be alright, if we slept in the tent tonight?
I've been feeling like there's no place to go
My body is a lonesome road
Or better yet a Redwood grove
For thirty-some years unknown
Now the garden is over grown
What do I do?
Baby would it be alright, if I'm not up to dance tonight?
Everybody is asleep on the lawn
And the drunkards are gone
What do we do?

Boxer
03:16
|
|||
|
All the freckles on your skin
Became my constellations
When you went away
And it is wrong to love someone
About as much as I did
How am I supposed to feel
About trusting you now?
Then you're back like a toddler
Storming around your crib
But you're much too big
You had to just give up
Someone else's toy
You forgot about, you had your own
Now you're pointed to come back home
Sometimes my fists clench up
When I see those scars
But I breathe in, and I breathe out
Like a boxer
And we're on then off then on
Remember when it was gone?
The beast is out there breathing
And the beast is beside me breathing
And the beast is inside me breathing
I want to let go of that feeling
Now I keep my compass in my chest
So I'll never lose my way again

I've been losing track of
How many times she has left me
She keeps calling back though
That is the part that still gets me
You'd think I'd be used to
Feeling the way that she makes me
Every day is brand new
Yet every day it escapes me
I've seen the west, I've seen the east
But everywhere's the same to me
Without you there, right by my side
I only live to lose my mind
Atleast you'll know I love you so
Is there something I could
Do that would make her love me?
Go George Bailey on the
Moon in the sky up above me
Everything that I try to do
Ain't enough to make you see
That I'm in love with you
I've seen the west, I've seen the east
But everywhere's the same to me
Without you there, right by my side
I only live to lose my life
You always knew, I needed you

Everywhere I Go
02:31

I don't know what I'm doing here anyway
'Cause I don't fit in anyplace
Anywhere I go, unless I'm with you babe
How do I make you understand
That I want to be your man?
Everywhere I go, just you and me babe
And we used to have more money
And we used to have a home
Baby these days, we're just two birds in one cage
And all that we have is time to roam around, so
I don't know what I'm doing here anymore
What am I still singing these songs for?
Don't it feel nice to be in love babe?

This is some great music for a morose, rainy day. Lush, sedate, bluesy, and with a certain apocalyptic flair, most evident on White Horses, which sounds very much like a psychedelic blues dirge. I appreciate that the songs sometimes lose themselves along the way, giving way to some beautiful psych explorations. I also enjoy the vocals on this - they sometimes waver, but they fit the music so well.

Big, clanging psych-rock from this Arizona outfit fuses monk-like vocals with slow-winding guitars for songs that feel like strange hymns.
