I could write you a song
I could do what I do
Wouldn't take very long
I could send it to you
I'd do all the right things
I'd know just what to say
I'd hit all the right strings
Wouldn't push you away
And if you take your time
It won't feel like it's over
And if you change your mind
I'll come running
There's no easy way out
Yeah but there never is
Just confusion and doubt
Moving in for a kiss
And as you float away
I'll come back to the ground
There's so much I could say
But there's no one around
And if you take your time
It won't feel like it's over
And if you change your mind
I'll come running

Winter Coat

I threw away your letters, kept not a single word you wrote
And I burned all the pictures, along with your winter coat
You know the one that you gave me the first time you walked me home
And you told me I looked cold, well the chill remains in my bones
You won't leave me, why won't you leave me?
I'd give anything my dear, if you won't haunt me here
I'm trying to make it easier
Why are you trying to make it hard?
Like crowning every memory
And being present in every little scar
Well they only hurt when I think of you
Which is not too often it seems
Just in between waking and sleep
And every time I breathe
I know that we were happy once, I know we were in love
I know we never can go back to everything that was
They tell me I should be through with crying, they tell me to move on
But how can I begin to go when you start every one of my songs?
You won't leave me, why won't you leave me
I'd give anything my dear, if you won't haunt me here
But you won't leave me, why won't you leave me

It starts off with a nervous cough, and your head feels strange, and your palms are shaking
Get down 'til you're on the ground and your head blood pounds, this is really taking place
But what if she's as scared as me, if she's not quite sure of the man she sees?
This could be a huge mistake, but I guess it's a chance I'll take.
My God, did he really just put a ring on me, well I guess he must have
This seems like a perfect dream, like a sweet sixteen with the knobs turned up past ten
But what if this is how we end, on a loveseat floating away from friends
Becoming anodyne and bland, and forgetting the best laid plans
And over where the light runs out, there's a few bright shapes you can just make out
And later when the stars come down, and the wind's just right you can hear them sing aloud:
"We were just as scared as you when we walked those steps and we said 'I do',
But look at what your hearts have sown, it's a love 'til you both turn stone,
And whatever made you breathe's gone home."

(by The Cure)
The sun is up
I'm so happy I could scream
And there's nowhere else in the world I'd rather be
'Cause here with you
It's perfect
It's all I ever wanted, oh
I almost can't believe that it's for real
So pinch me quick
I really don't think it gets any better than this
Vanilla smile
And a gorgeous strawberry kiss
Birds sing we swing
Clouds drift by and everything is like a dream
It's everything I wished
Never guessed it got this good
Wondered if it ever would
Really didn't think it could
Do it again,
I know we should
Say it will always be like this
The two of us together
It will always be like this
Forever and ever and ever
Never guessed it got this good
Wondered if it ever would
Really didn't think it could
Do it all the time
I know that we should

Full disclosure: Dave's in Lost Lander. But even if he wasn't, this would still be one of our all-time favorite albums. Neil Young meets Peter Gabriel on a night train from Juneau to Vienna.

This is pop done right. I love the homemade, lo-fi feel of the vocal recordings, because other than just plain sounding good, they put you in the position of listening to Cataldo as if he was in front of you telling you a story. It was a pleasant surprise to see some really well put toghether lyrics, so much so to intrigue my music-focused brain. Not to overlook the amazing composition gimmicks evenly spread throughout the record, like the enfatic brass notes just in the right places. Love it.

I Will Be the Sun for You
by Sally Dige
The brilliant Sally Dige returns with this sweeping new single that is grand in scope and centered on a radiant chorus.

Entirely analog, lush melodic pop with a tender heart from L.A. artist Human Barbie sounds bigger than the bedroom project it is.
