Going Alone

The silence in the way you said
That you were thinking of going home
I wonder if I leave instead
If I’ll end up walking alone
I’m going alone
Past the houses where they’ve been asleep for years
Going alone
When I just wanna remember
How this feels
How this feels
And I wonder how I’ll see myself
So many years from now
It freezes and it paralyzes hearts with doubt
I’m always waiting for, not waiting for
The right time
The right time
And I swear to be better
And I swear to believe
But the past, it’s always younger
Are they better versions of me
Going alone
Towards the shaking ache of time rolling on
Going alone
When I just wanna remember
How this feels
How this feels
How this feels
How this feels

Tonight
04:04
|

|
You paint the windows shut
And your hair grows long
You don’t care anymore
You felt the waves
How a mind can race
Now you’re standing still at recollection’s door
Now tonight…
You’ve seen the sky go on
Thought that the days grew long forever
Knew that there had to be somewhere far from here
But settling is your life’s great adventure
Holding on when you fear you’ve disappeared
But tonight…
The room gets heavy
The air so heavy
And the waiting leaves your eyes
You feel it so heavy
And I see it so heavy
How you’re waiting
For tonight…

Starlit

In a starlit set of prayers
From the moving, black river bend
I am cut up into pieces
Waiting for October winds
Has it been too long?
Has it been too long?
The ships, they’re all leaving
Taking the moonlight out to sea
You are hoping for tomorrow
Because tomorrow you think can be anything
Has it been too long?
Has it been too long?
And I know you are leaving
And I say, it’s not so bad
In this dream I keep having
You are calling back
Has it been too long?
Has it been too long?
In a starlit set of prayer
From a moving, black river bend

A Way You'll Never Be
02:33
|
|||
|
Dressed up in undrinkable light
So in love with the fading sight of the world as it’s moving on
So clairvoyant with your morning eyes
You can’t move, but you can see right
Through the cobwebs hanging backwards in your mind
And you fell for all those words just out of reach
Cause you know that’s just a way you’ll never be
Caught out, with no one to blame
For the wasted time you struggle to claim
The days veered so perfectly out of tune
All the things outside control
Erased mistakes, they start to show
When you close your eyes
And you fell for all those words just out of reach
Cause you know that’s just a way you’ll never be

I'm way behind the curve on this. I thought M/L was to be a one-off project but now there's more? And it's even better than the first? YES!!

The breezy, hooky, and highly literate songs on the latest from Great Pagans recalls ’80s Britpop at its finest.

The Los Angeles power duo explore a world of "guitars, grunge, and gas station burritos" on their debut album, a riff-fueled road trip.
