"This is a song of hope, nothing more nothing less. Hope.
The song itself really came from nowhere and feel like it formed itself. I feel it may be one of my strongest songs. I hope you do too.
This version was recorded as a live single take in my kitchen, just like most of my demo recordings. No fluff, all love, live and raw. Thank you for listening, downloading and supporting please share with a loved one." - dunkie

You don’t know where it began
You held hope in time unfolding
But it’s all in your hands
In your self-healing heart
The words are on paper through silent cries found
Like a fountain without water
All penny-less and dry
Like a child without a dream
To guide them through night
It is the voice of reason
Like a soothing lullaby
Standing upon the shore
Looking out to sunrise
And as the words on the paper take flight in your mind
You ask yourself can a song save your life.
It is the arms of a hero
As they cradle you tight
Like the strength of euphoria
Lifting you high
And as the words wrote on paper flow free with the tide
You ask yourself can a song save your life

The 4th consecutive listen, on first release, made me equal part happy/sad... it's a stunning LP, especially "Trippin #9"; this is what Lennon may have been doing if he were alive today. I'm in love. dunkie
It swims, and swirls. Like a lovely combination of Sigur Ros and Mogwai. Hugely cinematic and atmospheric, it's just a dream to hear., and see now that it's on luscious ocean blue vinyl! dunkie

Although I do agree I'd prefer more focus on the IRS era, this is a really solid collection of covers that delivers some unique takes. Totally inspired me to go back and listen to the original albums as well. Jean-Paul DuQuette

Drifting dreampop and snarling grunge, with potent vocals wrapped in gauzy textures one minute, surrounded by jagged riffs the next. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 21, 2023
