22 notesHot Water Music - ‘Rest Assured’ from Forever and Counting (Doghouse Records, 1997)
“Even though you won’t see what I’m seeing,
I would love for you to feel what I’m feeling:
The impact and the ease after.
Rest assured that the pain will fade.
Right outside the inspiration is told.
I’ll carry on with what I know.
This is what I need for my sickness:
A transition to medium.
Breakaway from the world and stick to rhythm.
Rest assured that the pain will fade.
If I don’t walk blindside, I’ll roll right.
If I hold sight, I’ll roll right.I’m sure we see that same way,
Just not from the same place.I need a medium, I need a balance.”

3 notes“It’s not until the destructive epic of a title track, though, that my mind is fully blown. After Guy’s delivered all his lyrics, the band finds a searing punk groove and sticks to it, which could have disastrous or merely nerve-wracking consequences, but there are enough rhythmic innovations and delicate changes in coloration: the first half of the song ends in a downtempo bass interlude that builds, inexorably, back to a reprise of the track’s raging, absolutely brilliant fury (which, in itself, rises to unbelievable, amp-ravaging levels). We can hear despair—described, in the song’s narrative, as a cycle of days where “nothing changed ‘cause nothing ever began”—being cast into the crucible of art and returning as affirmation; we can hear life being made something to live for.”

24 notesRites of Spring - ‘End On End’
“…I had a feeling from end to end
Tried to catch it before it started again
Pushed it away to force a laugh
But inside I didn’t have the breath
And oh - it feels so strange - when it comes again
But I’ve got it now
I’ve got the rhythm down
Cycles of end on end
But if one wave stops, another begins”

13 notesSwing Kids - ‘Forty Three Seconds’
“It’s already been said by every god damn one.
They say it’s only a statistic or something like that.
Just another kid on the beat, yeah.
But this doesn’t even make sense.
Well that’s just the point.”
