I guess I thought that it would be the way that I envisioned
every day a different play revision
instead, I’m treading water
instead I’ve barely lived
instead I’m only useful to the braindead
I thought we’d be singing nights
away
I thought I’d see a different part of you every day
Every time I’m in the desert of my own volition
all my demons come to stay, they
speak at inner goddess
convince her that they need to stay
I thought we’d have forever to stay this way

found a good word
better than the ones I've had
say it better- quiet and blurred
sitting around
its hot for May
like one great thing
Hold it closely
your big idea
like one great thing
find a sense of self falling down
upright the ground floor
made of parts and impulses
say it soft
made a way to forget
to get lost
say it to me your big idea
like one great thing

found a figure in the pale of my hand
a low moon in crescent, I don't read the leaves
get out of here where I can't find you
get out of here while I can't follow you
wild eyed swing
take an axe to him
I know your figure
I'll roll your bones
I found a friend
in the knots of my oak
his old fingers felt my signs
and rolled all my bones
get out of here somewhere I won't go
get out of here somewhere I won't go
wild eyed swing
take an axe to him
I know your figure
I'll roll your bones
palms open so I can read the leaves
pull an axe from me

My bike broke last year and I lost my cool
you didn't wait for me, but I'd wait for you
I want to say things for how they'll sound, not what I'm thinking
-that's not what I mean
Painted pinstripe blue
greased up the chain
I'd wait for you, and I left it in the grass
under the overpass
graduated at last
I'm not old enough sometimes
I don't answer what you ask
I'm left in the past
slowly at first but getting faster
your tires spin on black matter
feel the peace of letting go
of things you'd have never controlled
I'd wait for you, and I left it in the grass
under the overpass
I don't answer what you ask
I'm left in the grass

about
Side Thing Rockford, Illinois
I asked the local witch to throw some twigs and pine cones down my basement stairs and this was the sound it made. I screamed, she screamed, the stairs is still screaming.

Echo ladies found me years ago on bandcamp. Now I listen to them when I want to feel the world is filled with lonely and beautiful people... who dont talk but probably should. This new record captures what I love about the first few records... but with some progression and maturity. Excited to listen to where they go in the future.

everything is alive
by Slowdivesupported by 6 fans who also own “Dirge EP”
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

The latest album from the punk outfit features angsty post-punk tracks.

Castlebeat’s “VHS” offsets bright, jangly songs with smoky, lo-fi production, giving their pie-eyed melodies a sense of mystery.

Sometimes I Forget You're Human Too
by Bored at My Grandmas HouseMelodic alt-pop in the vein of Soccer Mommy is driven by winding guitar lines and augmented with dreamy shoegaze elements.

Somehow it feels like having a dream about floating in nothingness, barely existing at all, but still manages to be energetic and powerful, one of my favourite EPs ever
