lyrics
Crying at the cinema, puking from the third floor
Stealing from the street sale, kissing at the front door
Smoking on the pavement, dialing you by accident
Wishing you’d have stayed and wondering where the day went
Wondering where the day went
Wondering where the day went
Listening to Pavement and wondering where the day went
Late nights in new lands, mid-run lemonade stand
playing with a strange band, all high-fives and hey mans
Only found one slipper, never wearing sunscreen
You and me in alleys and we’re wondering if this fun’s clean
Wondering if this fun’s clean
Wondering if this fun’s clean
You and me in alleys and we’re wondering if this fun’s clean
Rhythm in the bedroom, construction on the street
Our love is forbidden but we’re soaking in the heat
You make noises in your sleep, you’re so nervous cause you’re guilty
She thinks that you’re clean but I know that you’re filthy
I know that you’re filthy
I know that you’re filthy
She may think you’re clean but I know that you’re filthy
Our thrown clothes
A halo
Around my bed
And I – I –
I said you’re dead to me
You are dead to me
I’m just in the mess where you left me
The glacier on my chest cold and heavy
I’m under happiness where you left me
The glacier on my chest cold and heavy
Heavy, heavy, heavy
Heavy, heavy, heavy
The glacier on my chest cold and heavy

Char's writing here mines memory for the sweetness only reckoning and forgiveness can bring. Her strongest suite to date (I say this every time, tho) she sings with more confidence than ever on themes of certain fallibility and radical acceptance. She conveys courageously the beauty of not knowing what's next or what any of it ought to mean. With every song she sounds grateful for each breath and experience. Listeners will come out of this album with that same feeling :) destiny
This may be Nate Kinsella's "dad record," but the array of experimental sounds and soulful songs on offer evidence a new creative peak. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 23, 2024
An easy-to-love combination of emo and jangle pop, the first full album from Spirit Night in eight years feels bathed in a golden glow. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 8, 2023
