Underwater Hotel

I am afraid of aquariums in case that might matter
Not that I’m scared of fish, but I fear the glass might shatter
My dreams turn into nightmares and the pre-dawn isn’t breaking
Out of shadows out of darkness out of monsters I am making
I’ll sing those songs
We’ll try to sell
Let’s meet up later
At the underwater hotel
I am terrified of toaster ovens setting my food on fire
Powered by the possible friction that goes into the wire
I won’t sleep in water levels with blankets made of seaweed
I told reception but they said they had no need

My mother once told me about
a singer that she once heard
His voice was filled with liquor
but she grasped onto every word
And she said to my father she’d
Like to travel to see him sing
But they had all their money tied
Up in sailboats they kept losing
I’ve been to all those places
My parents and my brothers tried
To drive atop Canadian prairie
But the flatness left us loose toothed
Or fangless and scary
We stopped along the highway
With sunrise evenings never loud
My brothers told me nothing
Staring at the blanket of clouds
I’ve been to all those places
I’ve been to all those places
I’ve been to all those places
All those dots along the map
I’ve never felt the isolation
Every speed bump leads to another trap
I’ve been everywhere I want to be
But I can’t disappear
I’ll go to each location
Every place I’m waiting for is here

Sad Song #3

I'll sing a song
I'll sing a song
I'll sing a song
Sing a sad song
Don't let the melody get ahold of me

Sidewalks

You’ll find me wandering the sidewalks
You’ll count the footsteps, count the trash
You’ll wonder which direction
You’ll hold the flash
You’ll find me on the sidewalks
You’ll tell me I’m lost
You’ll say you know where I’m going
You’ll tell the newsmen all about me
You’ll explore without knowing
You’ll find me on the sidewalks
You’ll be lost for sure
I’ll check the routes
But I doubt you’ll
Wear the suits
You’ll find me at the road block
On the side walk
You’ll wait for crossing signs
You’ll go directions
You’ll get distracted and
You’ll double up at intersections
You’ll find me on the sidewalks
Don't wait for the light to change

Inconvenient Winters
04:37
|

|
We slept through Montreal
The snow it started to come down quickly
The train was running late
It always seems to be late
The temperature dropped again
No matter the numbers the cold was devouring
The blankets were heavy
They always are at this time of year
I’ve settled for summers
Sat through inconvenient winters
The other seasons just transitions
The other seasons a waste of time
The snow kept on rising
The roads were too icy to drive anywhere
I don’t have places to go
Until the end of inconvenient winters
Until the end of inconvenient winters
Let’s stay in together
We have all we need here anyway
I don’t have anything to do
Until the end of inconvenient winters
Until the end of inconvenient winters

I should tell you about my love
I’ll make it colourful to see
I should draw you a picture
Of how it all came to be
Put in the details and I’ll
Fill in the lines
Sharing in shading
Tones of deeper red wines
I should tell you about my love
I should tell you about my love
I should tell you about my love
I’ll keep working on working on
Tellin you, drawin you my love

It's Electric
06:08
|

|
The next time I think about the crackle of connections
I’m setting off alone
With cellular differences and static electricity
I can’t even find the dial tone
I’ll discount distances and open wounds
Let the liver in a locket
Pull the plugs into sailor’s knots
Stick the sermon in a socket
I’ll disappoint the discipline and settle for society
I’ll end up doing wrong
Kinetic kinesthetic and I’m probably pathetic
The only reason to write a song
Lost my last bar of reception
Now I’m getting really nervous
The communication isn’t relevant
But I pray for decent service
It’s electric now but I’m off the grid

Beginner Baking Courses
04:08
|

|
Just take a little longer to talk to me
I never learned to yo-yo in the morning
I seldom seem to swivel chairs at night
But when I wake up weakly watching baseball
I throw my strikes so blindly in daylight
I can’t hold my whole together when I’m too sore in my calves
A court or a quarter and I’m running out of halves
My actions speak with fractions and we’ve run out of our path
Sprinting up the sidewalk slinging math
I’m trendy when convenient and it’s sunny
But less practical when it comes to comfy shoes
I’m decidedly decadent in practice
But at gametime it’s so eloquent to lose
I could overfill the pedestal with perfect rhyming couplets
I could even change the chords as I go
I’ll speak up later on so that the metaphors get wasted
I might forget for getting faster when I know

Moving In's stuff is perfectly melancholic, ethereal and yearns with the pain and confusion of that kind of unrequited love that everyone needs to experience before they find their true love. Blissful ❤️

A great album!! The recording style reminds me feels so lovely. I love all the tracks, but that OPENER - the switch to full "band" is so good. That is all. :D
