Love you like no other
Come for me
Never be another
Come for me
Took you, took your brother
Come for me
No reason I can discover
Come for me
Only lonely
Come for me
Everything that you told me
Come for me
From nothin' but dirt
Come for me
Do nothin' but hurt
Come for me
And I can feel you
But I don't know where you are
Won't you take
However distant or far
Come to me in secret dreams
From the darkest star
Won't you take me where you are?

Flag Day
03:06
|

|
Halfway through the year since you've been here
Their words don't mean much but who's counting?
Letters prepared with a frosty air
The blow-offs keep on mounting
You could never be sure you would ever have her
There's no point in denying
Nowhere to return when every bridge has been burned
So why not give up for trying?
Go on - run and hide
Like every other time
All those dear, dear friends from way down the other end
Were oh-so-clear how they showed it
With all their charms
Welcome you with folded arms
The whispers you couldn't hear, now you know it
As bad as it is, it's as good as it gets
This empty, idle threat is the best offer yet
Go on - run and hide
Like every other time...

Ocean

Swallow your tears and make them mine
Tide's gone out and my mind's made up
Swallow your tears and make them mine
Swallow your tears and I'll turn back time
Tide's gone out and my mind's made up
Until That Day
Meet you under the waves-
Walk all the way to heaven
Until That Day!
Until That day!

No Answer
03:36
|
|||
|
No answer
For the way you are
The way you are
In my heart
All and all and only you
Nothing to do
Can't help but fall
Nothing more to choose
Happy to lose myself in you
Just fall
In my heart
In my heart

So Anyway
04:31
|
|||
|
Bury me underground
Where I can't hear a sound
I'll just slip away
Like every yesterday
If I could take your place
The end you had to make
I'd gladly make it mine
Bring you back to find
All on our own
Only alone
For anybody else
And even for yourself
There's no one here to see
Still means the world to me
All on our own
Only alone
Send your dark clouds for me
What mighta coulda been
Can now never be
No need to defend
We all are in the end
Send your dark clouds unto me
I guess you probably know
Would even tell me so
There isn't any doubt
I'm never finding out
All on our own
Only alone
Send your dark clouds for me
What mighta coulda been
Can now never be
No need to defend
We all are in the end
Send your dark clouds unto me
So anyway I guess
It's only for the best
We'll have to leave it there
Still clawing at the air
All on our own
Only alone

Out
03:29
|
|||
|
Don't call me out...
And when you go
'Cause you're not mine
I'm just one more
thing to get behind you
So never mind
Forever more, anyway
Don't call me out
And every time you stray
It gets so hard to find a way
I can't find you
From where I stand
Your words aren't clear
And I can see your life from here
But never mind
Forever more, anyway
Don't call me out
Don't call me out just yet

Moulding
05:01
|
|||
|
Keep pushin' what ya know's untrue
Pushin' me away from you
And right up to the line
Of what's yours and what's mine
Wield your silence to keep me down
So fuckin' sure I'll just hang around
Wait forever for you
Like you're the best I can do
But this time it's not like before
I'll follow the moulding around your door
And outside to a world away
Where there's nothing more left to say
Still up to your same old tricks
Nothing one of your lies can't fix
And every one of your friends
Left all at loose ends
You'll drag 'em all into this
With your lingering bitterness
If you can't get your way,
You'll make everyone pay
But this time it's not like before
I'll follow the moulding around your door
And outside to a world away
Where there's nothing more left to say...

Never
03:33
|
|||
|
Although you'll never know and it's much too late now
Even if it's no one's fault how it always breaks down
Even if there's only so much more that we can even take now
Even so, there's one more thing I just gotta say now
I didn't wanna
I never wanted to
Fall in love with you
Thought it something there just for me and you now
So hard to see you share it with somebody new now
But maybe it's all you know, it's just what you do now
I didn't wanna
I never wanted to
Fall in love with you
Can't believe the best thing
That I ever had
Could make me feel so bad
I thought we'd have more time
I really thought we'd have our whole lives
I'll have to push that aside
Pack up my heart, choke down my pride
'Cause that's him on the other line
That's his car just pulled up outside
I didn't wanna
I never wanted to
Fall in love with you
Oh, my love...

Necessary Weight
05:37
|
|||
|
Maybe a thing or two
More left to say to you
On the way to the Love that's True
But you're always so far away
Misstep right off the mark
Words better said in the dark
Still stuck in my throat and heart
Always so far away
Your turn
Think it over sometime
Let it burn
Way it always does mine
Lay me down on the dash of your car
And dream of the place I dreamt you are
Between an ice grey moon and the morning star
Always so far away
Walls begin to crumble
And the ground just falls away
No matter what they told you
No matter what they say
Walls begin to crumble
And the earth just falls away
By any measurement or standard
It's just a necessary weight
Lay me down on the dash of your car
And dream of the place I dreamt you are
Between a steel grey moon and the morning star
Always so far away
You're always so far away
Always so far away
So far away
Far away...

Dead End Street
03:49
|
|||
|
You can talk yourself into anything
Believe it's true
But nothing you can say
Will ever make me believe again in you
All you did just to break it
All you do can't erase it
Dead End Street
Lost our way down a
Dead End Street
No return
You tell me where to turn
When anything that ya wanna
Is everything that you're gonna
You tell me who gets burned
When everything that ya wanna
Is anything that ya gonna
Dead End Street
We can never replace it...

Anyday
04:55
|
|||
|
My stupid hands
My foolish mouth
Let the one cover the other
Never let it out
I'll never know
It's so unfair
Dreamt you float alive above me
Catch you in mid-air
If only...
'Cause now you're gone
Now you're gone
And I'm still alive
And anyday is a good day to die
Don't sleep
Can't find my way
There's nothing left of without you
All I need to say to you
But now you're gone
Now you're gone
And I'm still alive
And anyday is a good day to die
I close my eyes to find you
I'm right behind you
'Cause nothing so unkind could be true
Sleep is finally mine
And you...
But daylight shatters
Daylight shatters
Nothing matters
Anyday's a good day to die...

Comin' Home
03:37
|
|||
|
Build their walls around
Just to keep you down
But they don't see you
They don't know
What they say - don't do it
Nothing more than a lie
And they choose it
They don't see you
They don't know
Tell somethin'
Tell me all
Can't wait
I'm comin' home
You're everything I think of
Everything I love
Lived a lonely life
And swore
I was maybe alive before
But whatever that was I don't know
Built my life around you
Couldn't ever really live without you
Just you and me
I know that you know
Tell me somethin'
Tell me all
Can't wait
I'm comin' home
You're everything I think of
Everything I love
Comin' home
Tell me somethin', tell me all
Comin' home, Summer
I can't wait
I'm comin' home
You're everything I think of
Everything I love...

Lost Life
05:46
|

|
I still remember the day that we met
I'm still not anywhere over it yet
I remember the day that you died
I only wanna be with you on The Other Side
And somehow
Someday
Somewhere
Some way
It was a beautiful life that we had
And I miss you, now, baby
Oh, so bad.
The Light's gone out
And I ache like thunder
I still need you
And I just wonder if...
Somehow
Someday
Somewhere
Some way...
Ah!
Life's so lonely without you
But I bet
I haven't even seen the worst of it yet
All the love inside you
It saved me
And I know
That wherever you are now sweetheart
Is where I must go
So, somehow
Someday
Somewhere
Some way
Ah!

Nighttide (10 Year Deluxe Edition)

We first heard a track - "Night Ships (Sea Mist)" - from this album on SOMA-fm, found Swartz et here on B/C, and bought the next morning. It's been in heavy rotation ever since. Gorgeous stuff!

Everything Is Going To Be Fine

We listened to this album obsessively every day for a couple of months after we first heard it. It's boldly all instrumental, lush, richly melodic and just a tremendous album. Full of emotion. Love!

A Mimesis Of Nothingness
by Siavash Amini
We first heard Siavash Amini on WFMU's great "Neighbor Noise" show. "Luminous Residue" was our gateway track. Beautiful & haunting dark ambient, almost cinematically evocative.
