Dejamos Ir

Dejamos ir, Dejamos ir
So I don’t remember just when we let go
But we let go
Maybe December
When all those clouds rolled in for the weekend
The look in your eye as you glanced at our time
That had started to run out
Or maybe the June gloom
Just sent you running to find your own sunshine
Dejamos ir, Dejamos ir
Forsake your familiar to find something new
Out on the horizon
Dried out tongues that are no longer young
Still scurry to meet you
You stare at the ceiling no longer reeling
With strangers and candles
But falling asleep you remember we let go
We let go..
Dejamos ir, Dejamos ir

Forever Broken Hearted
03:47

I’m sorry to keep calling
I know it’s probably out of place
But some nights I remember
The way the light would hit your face
I don’t mean to be a bother
Like most men, I’m just a child
And I hope you’re truly happy
Maybe check in every once in awhile
Our love it never really started
Guess I’m just alone again
Forever broken hearted
When I feel I’m going to cry
I just simply close my eyes
And I’m back where I want to be
Watching you holding me
Our love it never really started
Hope you’re not alone tonight
Forever broken hearted
Broken hearted..

Someday Someone
03:01
|

|
You’re knockin’ all them local boys down
A heartbreaker in a one-horse town
You light ‘em up, then leave ‘em behind
A trail of tears to the county line
Someday, someone
Is gonna do you like you never been done
And somehow, someday
You’re gonna lose the one you never could play
They lose their minds when you shiver and sigh
A hallelujah on a Saturday night
Another Chi-town suburban queen
Burnin’ bridges on the local scene
Someday, someone
Is gonna do you like you never been done
And someday, someone
Is gonna win the race you never would run
Now I’ve heard you’re west coast bound
Through Las Vegas, you like that sound
Just pick it up and leave ‘em behind
Put ‘em all right out of your mind
Someday, someone
Is gonna do you like you never been done
Someday, someone
Is gonna love you like it’s never been done
Gonna win you like you never been won

Tried To Let Go
03:53
|

|
She walked into a crowded bar
A California breeze
Brown eyes and Blue Moon beers
I could barely breathe
Once I heard her laughing
I was never the same
Pretty sure I loved that girl
Before I knew her name
I’ve tried to let go
I’ve tried to let go
I’ve tried to let go
Of that pain
I’ve tried to let go
I’ve tried to let go
I’ve tried to let go
Of that shame
She never saw it coming
She never took the call
Blinded by my own desire
She had none at all
She wasn’t mine to fall for
She wasn’t mine to keep
Years will turn to decades soon
I’ll still weep
I’ve tried to let go
I’ve tried to let go
I’ve tried to let go
Of that shame
I’ve tried to let go
I’ve tried to let go
I’ve tried to let go
Of that pain..

I'm Leaving
02:44
|
|||
|
Throw me a line, I’m tired of grieving
An S.O.S. for a heart still bleeding
To say I’m over you would be misleading
You don’t care, you don’t call
I’m leaving
I’ll take my old suitcase
Get out of this place
Don’t want to hear your voice
Don’t want to see your face
You don’t care, you don’t call
I’m leaving
Go find someone else who’s still believing
You don’t care, you don’t call
I’m leaving
I’ll take my old toothpaste
I’ll run away
Won’t have to hear your voice
Won’t have to see your face
You don’t care, you don’t call
I’m leaving
You don’t care, you don’t call
I’m leaving!

Autumn
03:03
|
|||
|
When the leaves start to fall
Those memories call
And you’re drifting slowly back to her
It’s the price you might pay
In the Autumn of your days
For never chasing the love
And if she won’t reply
To your belated goodbyes
Never disturb her again
Did you see a thousand lifetimes?
In her eyes?
Did you hear your laughing children?
In her sighs?
It’s the price you might pay
For living day to day
While the years are rolling away
So, if she won’t reply
To your belated goodbyes
Never disturb her again..

Sleep Tight

You’re not alone
I see you tonight
You’re not alone
My darlin’ sleep tight
You’re not alone
We’ll be all right
You’re not alone
My darlin’ sleep tight

-No Depression
Kelly Pardekooper recommends:
The No-Hit Wonder
by Cory Branan
Cory has this perfectly natural piss-n-vinegar vocal delivery that I love. We did shows together in East Nashville and Iowa a decade ago. He slept in my parents Iowa City basement after the gig. Woot!

Love this TJ album! Topical, pissed and relevant. And Tom's a great singer. We both came up in Iowa City as part of the Trailer Records scene. Check out his entire catalog.

Bottle Rockets and the Brooklyn Side
by The Bottle Rockets
As the years go by, I think The Bottle Rockets may have been one of my biggest musical influences. They just kept coming through my Iowa City hometown..blowing the doors off with these amazing songs!

Legends of These Lands Left to Live
by Ali Beletic
With her guitar front and center, Ali Beletic's raw ballads find beauty and romance in dusty wastelands.

Out on the line
by The Blue Highways
The slashing roots rock on “Out On the Line” always makes its way to the kind of triumphant chorus that quickens the pulse.

Psych-surf from Denver, Colorado is not a connection you’d naturally make, but The Savage Blush are so good they’ll maye you wonder why.
