I'm a brother to the city I live in
I need rebar to hold me up
I'm a brother to the city I live in
designed, redesigned
a big black hole dissipative centre
a big, big, big, big, big, big
check out
this body
growing
part blood, part concrete
and growing
I'm a lover of the city I live in
revolt, no I won't
I'm a lover of the city I live in
skyline, steel sunrise
I'm a lover of the city
I'm a lover of the city
check out

part blood, part concrete

I never talked if I was nervous
I never talked if I was curious
I kept a diary, secretly
I kept a diary
my science projects were not rational
I studied love instead of homework
I walked you home in my dreams
and I bought you presents with one dollar a week
you once said hi to me
as the bells were ringing
your backpack looked like it weighed a thousand pounds
and I wished that I was in it

engine run
engine break down
money spent to fix it
money's gone
but engine's purring
fuck my wallet, fuck it
engine for heart, money for spirit

sleepers unite
fuck you wide eyed yawners
see you on the other side
don't be jealous
we will cut your waking wires
you will not see us coming
onward, downward
don't be sad
don't be jealous
onward downward

just let it play
don't think about it
crack and pop
needle to magnet
new age to new age
backwards forwards through
zero to one
ear drum to wiggle bum
sign of the times
dimples and smile lines
what's the secret?
backwards forwards through
just let it play, just let it play
it's forever sound, all around
in everything
forever sound, forever sound
nuclear glow
handsome complexion
better than makeup
that you cant see through
cant wait for robots
to write the catchy tunes
just let it play, just let it play
it's forever sound, all around
in everything
it's never incomplete, it doesn't miss a beat
for anything
years ago, years from now
it's all the same
it's forever sound, forever sound

all I want to express
is love, love, only love
why does that have to be so hard?
love, love, only love
counting days till the day
little fears gone away
maybe never maybe today
things will happen as they will
joy will come, joy will come, joy will come
things will happen as they will
service in love, service in love, service in love
counting days till the day
little fears gone away
maybe never maybe today
all I want to express
is love, love only love
why does that have to be so hard?
love love love

I was reborn as a vulture
looking over your shoulder
with darkness in my eyes
and without an ounce of pity in my heart
come down with a smooth landing
this could all be a dream
a moment of wishful thinking
a flashback to a past life
or the one to come, the one to come
come down with a smooth landing
don't be afraid of nothing

poisonous insects
carried me off
to the liquor store
and a giant lineup
I stood there stung
my swollen hands
holding my beer cans
my dizzy head
scared and embarrassed
I lose my breath
and hit the floor
it don't feel the same as I thought it would
lying on the floor and I'm thinking of you

in years to come the kids will ask
what the fuck, what the fuck is that?
sober as a nun in church
shrug your shoulders and get back to work
sure there's things we'd like to know
but who's got time for idle thinking woes?
its cut and dry, its black and white
clear as day in the darkest of night
what are you talking about?
can you ever hear yourself?
or has poison work stolen your spirit?
just be thankful that your hearts still beating
memories are pretty short
and history's sung with distorted chords
shifty eyed, unsatisfied
the kids will spit, what the fuck is that?
what are you talking about?
can you ever hear yourself?
or has poison work poisoned your spirit?
just be thankful that your hearts still beating
truth without burden of fact
a decent story is all that we expect

brain stuck on
seriousness
oh poor me
the mess I'm in
fat paycheque
air-conditioning
beautiful girl
everything
quit your lover
quit your job
quit the city
for a while
move back to buttfuck nowhere and
spend time with your relatives
keep it together
no matter what
so much to lose
so much to burn
close your eyes
hold your breath
there's a lot of joy
in a little death
quit your lover
quit your job
quit the city
for a while
move back to buttfuck nowhere and
spend time with your relatives

For some reason, what I previewed and the real songs was somewhat different - maybe because of the cover art? But I definitely don't regret something more spacial than expected. The recent Ocean drifting in space.

A Chaos Of Flowers
by BIG|BRAVE
Leaning into the sparse, impressionistic sound of 2023's albu "Nature Morte," the Montreal metallurgists sound as heavy and radiant as ever.

The Seattle band work around the edges of shoegaze and dream pop with a rare sense of clarity and momentum.
