lyrics

Someone Else’s Sound
why are my arguments jettisoned from the craft
laid out lifeless on this funeral raft

in the engine room they’re stoking machinery
and making waves and changing the scenery

conflicting frequencies
are always battling
you’d think that sympathy could win

sirens cover up your mouth
did we already drown
in someone else’s sound

is there a star to steer a steed
of a sister vessel foundering

I used to give demonstrations
but the captain laughed at my navigation

conflicting frequencies
are always battling
you’d think that sympathy could win

sirens cover up your mouth
did we already drown
in someone else’s sound

it’s been said
there are two kinds of people in the world
the ones who say there are two kinds of people
and the ones who say
how could I possibly know

sirens cover up your mouth
did we already drown
in someone else’s sound

and you’d think that sympathy could win

Aventine

With vibe for days, these tunes are at once intimate and yet grandiose. And every song is just chock full of my favorite treat: melodies that are unabashedly beautiful. Goggy

20 Minute Loop has been one of my favorite bands for years--with songs that are gritty, sweet, tormented, soaring. The arrangements are insanely good. WTF?!! Goggy
