Play How I Feel
03:47

Today I wanna play how I feel
But I don't know how
Well I've given it my all
But I don't feel at all
I guess it's never good enough, is it
I used to be so in love
With the great unknown
It tore me up inside
Yes it took me for a ride
Mind over matter, it don't matter now
Hey, there's my ego
You good looking son of a bitch
How are you
What a beautiful day
And it's in vain
This time I'm gonna get it right
And then you'll see
Who's in the drivers seat
No I won't admit defeat
But I guess it's never good enough, is it
Hey, there's my ego
Where you been all my life
I miss you
What a beautiful day
And it's in vain
What a beautiful day
And it's in vain
What a beautiful day
And it's in vain
What a beautiful day
And it's in vain

Let Us Off Easy
05:03

I want to feel brand new
You want to feel it too
We're not so far apart
Put down your bleeding heart
You told me ten times already but
I don't understand
What kind of world are we living in
Friends vs. friends
Us vs. them
Tell me what you believe
Well maybe that's not what I believe
Open your eyes and see
Why don't you let us off easy
We all can make mistakes
So just give me a break
If you've got some place to be
You can go without me
You always feel like there's more to say
But there never is
I never know what you're on about
You and me
World war three
Tell me what you believe
Well maybe that's not what I believe
Open your eyes and see
Why don't you let us off easy

Sunburn In Seattle
04:07
|

|
How I long to find
A place to settle down
Somewhere far
Away from my hometown
I've been to Austin
And Boston
And New York City
New York City
I've been to Nashville
And Asheville
And San Francisco
San Francisco
I got a sunburn in Seattle
And my heart broke the same day
I got my hopes up in Chicago
And let down in LA
Now I've got to find my way
Back to ya
Got to find my way
Back to ya
Got to make it right
Got to let you know
Let you know that
Truly I feel
Truly I feel
Sorry
When my heart gives out
I can't have you around
I don't know how
To tell you what I've found
I got my sunburn in Seattle
And my heart broke the same day
I got my hopes up in Chicago
And let down in LA
Now I've got to find my way
Back to ya
Got to find my way
Back to ya
Got to make it right
Got to let you know
Let you know that
Truly I feel
Truly I feel
Sorry

Weather The Storm
03:47
|
|||
|
First thing you heard was a
Knock on the door
Then the bubble burst
Just when you thought they decided
To leave you alone
Looking for help from
The school, the bank, or
The government
All they could tell you is sorry
But you're on your own
Now I couldn't believe it
Don't mean it ain't true
How do I succeed among beggars and thieves
You've gotta weather the storm
You better weather the storm
You better weather the storm
Sound the alarm, tie your shoes
And get outta here
Run until you see the horizon
And never look back
Colors, faces
Shapes and names
Unidentified
All you can do is keep moving
And stay on the track
Now I know what you're thinking
But what can you do
When the shit hits the fan and blows right into your face
You better weather the storm
You better weather the storm
You better weather the storm
Now I know what you're thinking
But what can you do
When the shit hits the fan and blows right into your face
You better weather the storm
You better weather the storm
You better weather the storm
Rain coming in
Rain coming in
Rain coming in

Ain't it the greatest
I get to make my own decisions
Living without supervision
What do I care
I don't wait for anyone
Taking it easy
I always wake up late on Sunday
Hang around and make it my way
What do I care
I just wanna have some fun
24 and feeling fine
I'm just glad to be alive
And everyone who matters
They are good to me
Just like they're supposed to be
Just like they're supposed to be
When you have money,
The world will always
Treat you kindly
Strangers talk to you politely
I'm just playing by the rules
24 and feeling fine
I'm just glad to be alive
And everyone who matters
They are good to me
Just like they're supposed to be
Just like they're supposed to be
I'll be alone if I don't
Think of something soon
Maybe I should
Look inside of you
24 and feeling fine
I just wanna have a good time
24 and feeling fine
I just wanna have a good time

Feed The Animals
03:16
|
|||
|
Out of the woods
I would climb every single mountain
Fly up to the moon or
Leap into the sun
If that's what you want
Rain's coming down
And again I have to be reminded
It's not always easy knowing
What you cannot keep
Just please tell me why
Please honey
Please let me live another day
Let me feed the animals and
Watch the children play
I got washed up and dried out and
Lord knows you don't think much of me
But I think the world of you
Please honey listen to what I have to say
I don't have the courage or the strength to run away
I've been misguided, shortsighted
Undecided, I was blind to you
But now I won't let you be
And it's been a long time now
I haven't heard your voice
I've been away so long
It would sound so nice
How many more
Lives can I lead

Lipstick Stain
04:18
|
|||
|
I've been taking all my shots in the dark
Looking for that original spark
I can't get over how you played me
How it was so easy
When I'm walking home cursing your name
I turn the color of a lipstick stain
You just cut me down to pieces
Tiny little pieces
When I pulled you out from under the bed
You weren't the person that I had in my head
I wonder how you even got there
Where did all my things go
I can keep from laughing
I can keep from smiling
But I can't keep from crying
So just please do me one favor
Tell me when it's over
You say that I made all the mistakes
And I call you an original fake
I bought up every single option
That you ever told me to
And I'm singing out a sorry refrain
The inspiration left as soon as it came
I know it shouldn't really matter
But it really matters
I can keep from laughing
I can keep from smiling
But I can't keep from crying
So just please do me one favor
Tell me when it's over

Devil Speaks My Name
05:14

I am always getting pulled apart in two directions
Which one do I choose
Which one do I choose
When I'm afraid to be a part of something that's bigger than you
And every time I think I have it
Figured out, there's always something new
I am always getting led astray by new perception
Why can't I see through
Why can't I see through
In the corner of my mind, he's sitting there waiting for me
Never wanted any other guy telling me how to be
Ooooh ooh ooh
The devil speaks my name
Ooooh ooh ooh
God was talkin' to me too
But they both sound the same
Lately they just sound the same
Believe in what it is that makes you whole
Believe it when you think you lost control
You know when you aren't who you're supposed to be
I still have my pride and I feel free
Yes I'm afraid to be a part of something that's bigger than you
Thought I had it figured out but now I don't know what to do
Ooooh ooh ooh
The devil speaks my name
Ooooh ooh ooh
God was talkin' to me too
But they both sound the same
Lately they just sound the same
Believe in what it is that makes you whole
Believe it when you think you lost control
You know when you aren't who you're supposed to be
I still have my pride and I feel free

Hey little lady, let me tell you what time it is
I ain't gonna give you what you wanted but how bout this
You should give it up to me
Cause I'm a guy who knows how to lead
And whatever we got now
To keep em all down
We'll make it twice as large
We'll build it twice as large
Hey, just watch your movie, watch your tv, watch your cooking show
Ain't no way of telling what direction this hot air will blow
God would want to leave it to me
I'm the one he'd wanna succeed
You don't have to believe it
But you must concede it
To us folks in charge
To us folks in charge
You need a man who's good with a smile
Take all your complaints, throw them in the pile
What we're seeing now we haven't seen in a while
The bomb is back in style
The bomb is back in style
No turning back from a sneak attack
The bomb is back in style
Don't you even listen to a single word they ever say
Stick to what I told you and I promise we'll make out okay
You should really take it from me
Cause I'm on the board of trustees
You don't have to worry
They'll drop in a hurry
We'll take back what was ours
Take back what once was ours
You need a man who's good with a smile
Take all your complaints, throw them in the pile
What we're seeing now we haven't seen in a while
The bomb is back in style
The bomb is back in style
No turning back from a sneak attack
The bomb is back in style
The bomb is back in style
The bomb is back in style
No turning back from a sneak attack
The bomb is back in style

Not so long ago, we were cavemen
Couldn't see the forest for the trees
Thought we'd left the old ways behind us
Hoping we could live in peace
Who really wants to see the future
When we're still living in the past
I thought we put this all behind us
We gotta make sure that we last
We last
Could you take back the gold from Columbus?
Look Genghis Khan in the eyes?
Stand up and fight Alexander?
Staring down the memories
All the possibilities
I can hear an echo in the distance
The whole world going up in flames
And no idea who's behind it
I couldn't name you any names
I'm just a boy on Christmas morning
You know I'd never hurt a fly
I'll put my hands up and surrender
You know I'm not prepared to die
To die
I couldn't take back the gold from Columbus
Look Genghis Khan in the eyes
Stand up and fight Alexander
Staring down the memories
All the possibilities

Covered In Green
04:29

We were dreaming from the start
And your smile falls apart again
Maybe we should leave
But I know we'll stay
Now you're
Coming down
Coming down
Now we're pulling into town
Human nature all around and I
I think there's something wrong
But I don't know what's right
So I play along
Play along
You know I can remember
How we were before, and it's turning me out
Now I'm in the game
When all I wanted was to be
Covered in green
And I listen to my friends
Try to be more like them for now
What they want is the truth
But I just want the news
So I leave it alone
Leave it alone
I admire what they do
They're just trying to pull through for us
Some of them may stand strong
But many more will fall
We need something to hold onto
We tried our best, and it's not enough
Now I'm in the game
When all I wanted was to be
Covered in green

First Impressions

A rare and exciting find. Erin Snape has an amazing ear for song structure, melody, and arrangement that's truly beyond her years. So many of these songs have moments that make your hair stand on end.

A consummate storyteller, with such an elegant baroque sound perfect for old souls. It's such a retro vibe, yet the album is undoubtedly modern and shows a lot of new ideas lyrically and musically.

This guy can't make a bad record. Love the electronic flourishes balanced with the classic acoustic songwriter energy. Lots of playfulness, experimentation, and an intriguing mood of ambiguity...
