This started off as something kinda Alex G inspired and then slowly morphed back into my usual territory.


Classical guitar, banjo, a drum machine and some whispy synths


Hot dang thanks for the front page :D


Full cover art:


Lyrics:

I've been looking out

for a warmth I knew

oh in the dark

the shapes look like you


Well we couldn't get a spot

here in the Fall

so we left in May

after your last call


Oh they don't allow

fires in this place

so we lied in the dark

and we got shit faced


Hospice was too much to bear

you cried in my arms

while we were out there

I couldn't voice

the thoughts in me

finished the album out

and went to sleep


Hospice was too much to bear

Hospice was too much to bear

Hospice was too much to bear

Hospice was too much to bear


I'd been riding on an inbetween

would rather hide out than be seen


Yeah I went to gradschool

cause I couldn't take the world

Moving out to see you

when my flag hadn't been unfurled


Distance can make your heart

a little stronger

Delay the inevitable

a little longer

I love Alex G so thank you for this art.

Wow. I keep returning to this because it's just flooded with emotion. Totally raw, exactly how I like my indie. Love those lo-fi drums! As always, great songwriting! Five stars and a favorite, no question about it.

And again, because I'm going to be a dickhead and keep pushing, you gotta get this stuff on the big platforms. I'm selfish and I want to be able to put this on some playlists and share it with people, so stop being obscure.

Bitbeak responds:

I’m working on it haha

Honestly appreciate the nudging, my brain needs that sometimes to get anything done.

Also thanks so much for the thoughtful review ^.^

so precious.

love the drums at the end. uplifting

Bitbeak responds:

Thanks so much, man <3
