Stars Falling Down

You say you've never been this far outside before
Hope we remember the way back to the car
The woods at night shouldn't frighten' ya
It's all inside your head
"That's what they all say in the movies
Just before they're never heard from again"
Stars falling down
Without a sound
Down to the ground
Take me downtown
You've never seen the city quite this bright before
But it's like this every time, for me, I walk out the door
It's not the Northern Lights, but for now it'll have to do
Until those buildings fall
And that same glass is under our shoes
Stars falling down
Without a sound
Down to the ground
Take me downtown

I'll Have Another One

Winter's winding down, ya know
The spring means it won't last
It seems like yesterday, ya know
The world it spins so fast
Take a walk outside, ya know
It's good to clear the head
I wonder, "Could this be the day the world will finally end?"
Thinkin' back on missed opportunities
Tryin' to dodge adult responsibilities
I, I'll have another one
A match to burn that bridge
This isn't bringin' out, ya know
What we would call our best
So angry all the time, ya know
We get it off our chests
I'd trade my kingdom now, ya know
For one good night of rest
I wonder, "Could this be the day we end up like the rest?"
Thinkin' back on missed opportunities
Tryin' to dodge adult responsibilities
I, I'll have another one
A match to burn that bridge
Tryin' hard to embrace positivity
Tryin' to fight my natural tendencies
I, I'll have another one
A care that I won't give
With this weather so heavenly
"Please drive faster!"
We'll race the sunset to the sea
And fall out on the beach

Wonderful Day

Well, it's really been a wonderful day
I'm so glad we got to spend it this way
Cus when you ever find a reason to stay
I find you twenty more to just run away, but
If you want me, please don't leave me
If you want me, stay this evening
It was hot, it was the 4th of July
There were fireworks goin' off in the sky
I wasn't lookin' up at any of those
Too busy tryin' to get you out of your pose and
Now we're tired and it's getting so late
If you want, we could go back to my place
And it's really been a wonderful day
I'm so glad we got to spend it this way
If you want me, please don't leave me
If you need me, stay
And it's really been a wonderful day
I'm so glad we got to spend it this way
While you maybe have a reason to stay
Before I find you ten to just run away
If you want me, please don't leave me
If you need me, stay

Bye For Now

I know it's not a great
Or even "good" goodbye
But for now, until next time
It will just have to do
I'll always think of you
I hope you won't forget me too

Alan Lee Witherspoon recommends:
I Hope That You Find Love
by Woosley
Great roots rock record from a local legend. "Nobody Makes It Alone" is definitely worth a listen and features Lydia Loveless and Todd May.
go to album
Catalina Breeze
by The Blue Jean Committee
Unironically, one of the best 70's sounding records in many years. Even if it is a bit of a goof.
go to album
Described as "sophistipop" by the artist. I'd say check it out if you like Prefab Sprout or Spandau Ballet at all.

Strange Adrenaline (LP | 2023)
by Nat Vazer
Woozy and melodic alternative rock from Melbourne-artist Nat Vazer sounds like a grungier Alvvays.
go to album
Bright, sparkling indie pop with sugary hooks at the center and jagged guitar on all sides.
