We go way back you and me
ever since elementary.
Public pool with our shirts on
fighting with our squirt guns-
never say die since ‘85.
A couple losers you and I,
your folks had problems and so did mine.
We lit a fire in the alley
with our homework after graduation.
Have you ever felt so free?
Remember you’re a little child,
You stuck it out a while.
Twenty or so years go by
I don’t even know this guy.
You can fake it all you like
But you’re still a kid inside.
It’s such and act acting serious,
and I’m so bored I’m delirious.
I just want to cruise the lake
like we used to and get baked in my car.
Bring some CDs and a Black and Mild.
Remember you’re a little child,
You stuck it out a while.
Twenty or so years go by
I don’t even know this guy.
You can fake it all you like
But you’re still a kid inside.
Sorry I’ve been so out of touch.
I only see you when we’re fucked up.
Sorry I never sent a note back,
I’m insecure, I felt attacked,
Faking our way through this grownup shit.
Remember you’re a little child,
You stuck it out a while.
Twenty or so years go by
I don’t even know this guy.
You can fake it all you like
But you’re still a kid inside.
Lost track of these guys for a couple years, then saw the Tiny Desk concert come up in my feed. I've had the album on loop on Spotify since Friday.
This song in particular has been stuck in my head all afternoon. quiksilv26
God I'm so glad there's organisations like NPR Tiny Desk, Audiotree, and chief among them all KEXP, to carry the torch of live studio sessions like the John Peel / BBC radio sessions of yesteryear. Hell, KEXP's sessions have themselves been going for a couple odd decades already, so good on them for continually showcasing fresh and upcoming talent.
I ***REALLY*** wish more full sessions would be commercially released, but if that's left to the bands themselves, then that's more than fair enough Xtra Happy
Charming indie pop debut from Seattle's Flying Fish Cove pairs vivid tones with rainbow-hued lyrical expressions of love and loss. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 22, 2019
Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell
