All I can say when the streetlights circle halos in your eyes,
is you belong to me
And, if you stay, I will travel to the reaches of the stars
and bring them down to you, today
I often find, that the only thing that matters in this world, in this world to me is your peace of mind
When the moonlight casts its shadows, hold me close. Hold me close to you.

Hey little girl, you sure look good to me
I've been running around this messed up world for as long as I could breathe
But here you come with sunlight skies, the brightest eyes i've ever seen
Hey little girl, you sure look good to me
Hey summertime, come take away my pain
So weary, cold and heavy eyed, from walking in the rain
Your skies they shine like polished glass
You never last, you slip away
Hey summertime, please take away my pain
Hey little girl, how come you didn't stay?
I tried to hold you close to me, somehow you slipped away
you left me in the autumn time, with winter at my gate
hey little girl, 'til summer I will wait

Airplane Jane

She boards the airplane, 5am
The smell of rain and cigarettes
The runway slick with kerosene
Wanna light a match and run
I start the car, shift into gear
The air is getting thicker still
She's buckled in, the runway's clear
She disappears into the sun
Someday this will all make sense
Were her final words to me
Leaving is the consequence
Of our love’s chronology
But you should still believe
The darkest days of winter pass
And springtime’s grassy breezes blow
A kiss from far across the sea
From someone that I used to know
With windblown visage she appears
A phantom at my bedroom door
I reach across the empty bed
And throw her picture on the floor
Someday this will all make sense
Were her final words to me
Leaving is the consequence
Of our love’s chronology
But you should still believe, If that's what you need
Believing never got me far, and peace of mind ain't free
You had your pick of choices girl, But your choice just wasn't me

Augustine, Sweet Augustine, The hour’s getting late
The path ahead is darkness with no moon to light my way
The river flows before us like a starless summer sky
My time with you is precious, but we’re both living a lie
My children are home sleeping, My husband off to sea
The lonely hours made shorter when you turned your eyes to me
The eastern shoreline shimmers like a silver bridal gown
As the storm clouds start to gather over old bohemia town
Augustine, Sweet Augustine, Your eyes are cold as ice
You treat me like a stranger and my heart has paid the price
My children have been taken and my husband’s lost at sea
I’m sleepless and sedated and there’s not much left of me
Augustine, Sweet Augustine, The hour’s getting late
The path ahead is darkness with no moon to light my way
The river flows above me like a starless summer sky
I see the city shimmering through the water as I die

Canaries In The Mine

Every day we leave behind is another lifetime
And every week that spins away, sleeping through each day
We are alone, for sure
Canaries in the mine
Pictures of another life, but one i've lived before
Filtered through the sunlight
The girl next door, that I adored and left behind
She's such a lovely sight
Soft and distant lullabye
Suburban skies and fireflies
Voices from another room, they rise and fall
I loved them all, years ago, life's ebb and flow
Canaries in the mine
Every day we leave behind, Canaries in the mine

Everybody thinks I'm crazy
Everybody thinks I'm a fool
But they don't know you and me together
I know you won't break my heart
I had a run of bad luck
I had strangers breaking down my door to do me harm
I know that you are my protection
I know you wont' break my heart
Maybe I am just a fool
Who never played by any rules
Who never knew my rights from wrongs
Who wasn't strong
Maybe you're the wind and rain
Falling down to make my grave
The ever present ace of spades
I know you won't break my heart
I know you won't break my heart
I hope you don't beak my heart
I hope you don't beak my heart

Oh, Sleepytime!

Old Lazy River, Silent and Dry
Which once flowed with water, ‘til time sucked her dry
The town to which she flowed, grew empty and died
The only survivors, dead flowers and sky
Sleepytime, Oh sleepytime
Sleepytime, Oh sleepytime
The skeleton man and the preacher man
They both shook hands and made their plans
Old weathered farmer with Clementine eyes
Went out to the harvest, all ravaged by flies
His hard calloused fingers, all worked to the bone
Abandoned the wasteland he once called his home
Sleepytime, Oh sleepytime
Sleepytime, Oh sleepytime
The skeleton man and the preacher man
They both shook hands and made their plans

All My life, I’ve been waiting for a change
Change my ways, before I really go insane
Life, so many obstacles to climb
Life, always seems to call to me
And I can’t keep waiting all my days, all my days
The pretty face, always seems to get the ace
It’s all-in time, before I really lose my mind
Life, so many obstacles to climb
Life, always seems to call to me
And I can’t keep waiting all my days, all my days

It's uncanny just how good Actors is at emulating that Post-Punk synth sound from my younger days. Each listen just gets better and better. I feel slightly ashamed for not having heard this album until a few short days ago.

everything is alive

Shoegaze ist die Kunst des Dröhnens, doch „Everything Is Alive“ setzt diese Elemente nur sparsam ein. Statt Hall- und Zerr-Sounds aufzutürmen, schäumt die Musik in feinen Bläschen über. https://tortue.substack.com/i/140348114/slowdive-everything-is-alive-dead-oceans
