lyrics

A change of clothes and a case in the back seat
I always sent you a text from the road
I used to drive through the arch on Lake Street
To a place that I used to call home
I still send you messages from the road
Sometimes you don’t respond and
Sometimes you’re despondent
Sometimes you’re reminded that I’m a hundred miles away

We cracked the seal and we cranked up the volume
Ignored the knocks from the kids down the hall
Everything froze in the cold mountain air
But we were on top of it all
I wonder if you’ll remember this when I call
You may not respond and
You might be despondent
You might be reminded that I’m a two hour drive away

One of these nights we’ll have a short conversation and lose touch forever
I’ll be so far away that nothing I say will matter when you find something better
I spent so much time reinforcing the ties we’d inevitably sever

Time doesn’t stop for anyone
But let’s turn back the clocks
And try to stay young

SONGS FOR JOHN DARNIELLE: Local News Legend Covers The Mountain Goats

I listened to this when it first came out, and then didn't really return to it... until this month. Listening to "You were Cool" realed me in, and since then the whole album has become a huge safety blanket for me - singing "up the wolves" to myself to get myself to stop crying on the bus, etc. etc. This is too much to say in a Bandcamp Review but I need to say it somewhere, this is gonna be one of those albums I look back on in ten years and think "that one saved my life" micyclej

This album is like cracking a cold 40 of steel reserve after fighting in a parking lot at 3 in the morning. If you could bottle youth it would be hard to get a better brew than this. databender
