sadurn - face ii

made up a reason why it doesn't matter if I see you again
and I wanna believe that I don't have a need for anyone outside of my friends
and besides it is probably not what I think that I saw just another trick of the head
but you're face is like the sun
can't look at it very long
sorry if I got so weird at the party right after we talked again
I was hoping you noticed the both of us glowing as we cleaned up all of the cans
and it felt like the light breaking out from behind of a cloud and then going right back again
but your face is like the sun
can't look at it very long
and I'm scared of being stuck
I am scared of being wrong
your face is like the sun
shining and wonderful
glowing and beautiful
can't look at it very long

if i remember right you were 4 1/2
you were getting on my nerves and you were being a brat
a fist in the teeth was counter-argument, and looking back it worked out pretty well, didn't it?
a trip to the doctor and a couple advil will set you right
though your smile now leans to one side
you were just a little tyke
if there's one thing that 26 has set in me
it's that the unintended consequences are still your responsibility
no amount of saying sorry ever made things right
forgiveness is a thing you earn after work and over time
and a leap that's divine

I never meant to hurt anyone I was just trying to hold my head
cause it's been all covered in dust and I've been just lying until I'm dead
and I the back of my room what's the use of keeping anything around
in the dirt and the leaves what do I need I can't quite figure it out
and I'd follow you up the stairs you know I'm fair I'd tell you whatever it is
to the best of my knowing I think I'm going somewhere away from this
I hope you're willing to hear that you're my dear but I've been so filled up with doubt
and somehow I'm swimming in shame and I'm afraid I can't quite figure it out
I can't quite figure it out

there is a black spot inside my right eye
from all of that time I spent looking at light
the size of a pinhole but tough to tune out
it's pretty distracting when I leave the house
what does that say about you
if you're so willing to?
what does that say about me if I comply?
there is something tugging both of us
if we're so willing to forego trust
this is all to say
this will be the last day
i have a muscle that didn't fully grow
the part of my shoulder that I use to say no
it keeps my arm well attached to my neck
but won't let me lift it in my own defense
we're told that nothing's permanent
i wonder if that's true
of something that's inherited
imposed upon you
they were crashin on the couch
lookin like a mouse
I was sitting at my desk
doing I forget
later i was leaping into fall
hoping you would just return my call
asking where you're at
but you were playing with the cat

sadurn - shower song

oo I am quick to cut my losses but I am not sure if you are one
and in the shower I drink the water I have no lover to speak of
and I keep seeing you leave, you left with. me on your tail
left me outside in my suffering pride and I still wanna try but I still cannot tell
and in the morning I went out walking and cursed you for leaving, cursed me for being so shy
and if you don't care then I will not either, and I will recover and lay this to die
but if I am honest then I long to see you

some days there is a reason to get up and go to sleep
others are much harder when the bottom feels so deep
and some will give you thinkings you will never understand
but i know that i'll be somehow fine
as long as you're my friend
when winter comes a creeping there are reasons to feel joy
you can wrap around a pillow like a child's favorite toy
the heat will be much cheaper if we sleep in the same bed
and I feel far less like dying every time you kiss my head
who's in love
when you were only four months old yo tumbled down the stairs
you were driven to the doctor, I had never felt so scared
you had just broken you're clavicle because your bones were soft
had you landed at a different angle, I would feel so lost
I wonder if our father is still weighted down with guilt
from the failure of a baby gate he didn't even build
he briefly turned his back so he could flip the bedroom light
but you were bound for exploration and the dream of taking flight
who's your bud
you are my bud
we dancing to count basie in my parents' living room
I can feel your arms around my neck and clearly hear the tune
it was haunted, it was heavy, it was blowing in the breeze
it was signing of a season in a place I'll never see

Tomorrow’s Fire
by Squirrel Flower
supported by 5 fans who also own “split w/ sadurn”
I knew nothing about Squirrel Flower going into this. I loved the album front to back as it reminds me of so much music that I enjoy. Her beautiful voice is an awesome contrast to the fuzz of the guitars. It was tough to choose a favorite song.

A lovely addition to the best project of 2023, that at some points feel like B-Sides, but is overall just as strong as the work that made it on "the record"

Phenomenology
by The Mining Co.
Inspired by John Carpenter’s 1974 film “Dark Star,” the beautifully moody songs on this LP present a voyage into the unknown.
