Poor Ian

Ian was a boy who didn't know left from right
Ian was a boy who never had a girl in his sights
Ian walks home from school all alone
To go home and sit on his football throne
Ian said "enough," and moved on with his no-moving life
Ian grabbed a hammer and built himself a house and a wife
Ian doesn't get it and I get that
Ian wants to find a meaning for his welcoming mat
Ian decided that he had figured it all out
Love is the resource that could end his compassionless drought
Ian had it all, but a bit too late
He realized it all on his dying date

Birds

You can try to fly but please don't go
I won't smile when you're long gone at home
Please honor this last request, I
Pray you don't fly from this nest, for
I often find myself all alone
You've flown far by now, in this I'm sure
I've repelled you miles from my core
I don't know why I'm so bad I,
I figured you'd just give me a try,
But now I find myself all alone.
You've found your nest outside of these trees
I'm still here, but could you come back please?
I'm reaching my final breaths I,
Need a witness to my death I,
Really don't want to die all alone.

Run
02:33

Bring it all onto ourselves
And strap it all up
Put it on our shoulders and take it away
Trudge through the day
And run away
Until the skin on my toes is flayed
And we'll run
And we'll run
And we'll run and we'll run
Until our knees cave in
And we can't shoot our guns
And we'll run
And we'll run
And we'll run and we'll run
Until our eyes burn out
And we can't see the sun
Run until I'm sanded away and my lungs explode when my breath can't escape

Solitude
04:57
|
|||
|
I want to close my eyes
And sit in a corner
I'll look so far into nothing
That I'm no longer here
And then I'll run away through the dark
I'll sit in a forest
Sit underneath a dry tree
Dilute into blackness, blackness
Into blackness
What goes on in solitude
I swear the world closes shut
People are drawing skies
I'm all alone
I'm sitting here firing neurons
Out of these things that
I call eyes
I'm all alone, all alone
I'm all alone
I'm all alone

Trees And People

Subtle scratches and fuzzy image
I can only see you in your rural glow
The sun aids your face, but ruins my camera
Making the image unavailable
You live in a world of memory
Of a life I never had
I would love to live with trees and people
But to everyone, I'm mad
You live in a world of memory
Of a life I never had
I would love to live with trees and people
But to everyone, I'm mad
You whisper tales softly through a tape
I can hear your throat.
Your lips.
Your eyes.
If only I could see it here
And see your
Coffee stained existence, oh.
You live in a world of memory
Of a life I never had
I would love to live with trees and people
But to everyone, I'm mad

Basic Printer Nashville, Tennessee
experimental synthpop from Nashville, TN
Basic Printer recommends:
A Gravity Well EP
by Jeff Bujak
Jeff Bujak should be a trademark name in due time; consider the careful vision of a producer translated into a classically trained pianist...performing with mostly all live instruments. Revolutionary.

PESS003 - Boreal Massif - We All Have An Impact LP
by Boreal Massif
Taking cues from field recordings, hip-hop, and ambient, UK producers Pessimist and Loop Faction turn New-Age conventions inside-out.
go to album
Freaky found sounds and gritty corroding beats trip through the grimy underbelly of inner-city life after dark.
