Well I woke up alone in red weather
Had i lost my way or was I closer than ever?
Desperate tears in my eyes feeding the mouth of the river
Monochromatic skies now bleeding with color
Many rivers diverged like inelegant fingers
Or the veins of a leaf that had long-since withered
Compelled by one thought
It was now or never
So i pushed off from shore
And abandoned all anchors
Oh oh oh all the things i believed in
All the dreams toward which i was drawn
And the language i used to reveal them now had gone
In red weather
I gave her my heart, she trapped it in amber
And so we became my most noble endeavor
I chose the safest way out
I’m hard pressed to remember
How i could forfeit my soul
Why i would ever surrender
Oh oh oh all the things i believed in
All the dreams toward which i was drawn
And the language i used to reveal them now had gone
And left me untethered
In red weather
I woke up alone in red weather
Was it sundown or dawn?
Was I worse off or better?
Desperate tears in my eyes feeding the mouth of the river
Monochromatic skies now bleeding with color
Oh oh oh all the things i believed in
All the dreams toward which i was drawn
And the language i used to reveal them now had gone
In red weather
A fantastic album. I can see why they didn't continue under the name The Evens, as it's a different sound with the bass added. Coriky is the Evens + Joe Lally from Fugazi on bass. If you can imagine The Evens with a slightly more funky, aggressive sound like Fugazi... that's what you get! And there's no way that can ever go wrong. What a great debut album!! smiledozer
