Hard Feelings

Hard feelings on parade
Took their lemons – choked on the lemonade
I still remember how that felt
Certain remarks can leave on awful welt
If it’s rotten
Then it’s rotten to the core
My fucked up system just won’t function any more
So take a cleansing breath
Relax and start once more
And let those hard feelings go
Hard feelings rear their head
Heart is pounding
I fear that I am dead
You can’t imagine how I feel
These days I barely know just what is real
If it’s rotten
Then it’s rotten to the core
My fucked up system just won’t function any more
So take a cleansing breath
Relax and start once more
And let those hard feelings go
If it’s rotten
Then it’s rotten to the core
My fucked up system just won’t function any more
So take a cleansing breath
Relax and start once more
And let those hard feelings go

Not That Brave

Saw you on the Red Line
Surrounded by some friends of mine
Decorated like a valentine
Riding your own wave
They’re only out to have some fun
But should know better than to hurt someone
I hold my anger like a loaded gun
But I’m not that brave
You sat there
A target
Just trembling
Taking everything they’re giving
Saw you on the Red Line
Surrounded by some friends of mine
Decorated like a valentine
Riding your own wave
They’re only out to have some fun
But should know better than to hurt someone
I hold my anger like a loaded gun
But I’m not that brave
You sat there
Eyes downcast
Face crimson
Taking everything they’re giving
Saw you on the Red Line
Surrounded by some friends of mine
Dressed up just like a valentine
Riding your own wave
They’re only out to have some fun
But should know better than to hurt someone
I hold my anger like a loaded gun
But I’m not that brave
You caught my gaze
I turned away
All shame
And good intentions
But I just froze
Too scared to mention
I hold my anger like a loaded gun
But I’m not that brave

Silent Treatment

I feel like no one’s listening
I yell and no one hears
Just you explain what you think you're saying
Just you explain what you're tryin' to say
I look like I'm transparent
I look like I'm see-through
Just you explain what you think you're wearing
Just you explain what you're tryin' to wear
When you're under silent treatment
It's forever not to know
Will mommy always love you?
Or will she go?
When you're under silent treatment
It's forever not to show
Will daddy always be there
Or will he go?
I feel like no one’s watching
I feel like no one sees
Just you explain what you think you're doing
Just you explain what you're tryin' to do
I feel just like I’m starving
I feel empty inside
Just you explain what you think you're eating
Just you explain what you're tryin' to eat
When you're under silent treatment
It's forever not to know
Will mommy always love you?
Or will she go?
When you're under silent treatment
It's forever not to show
Will daddy always be there
Or will he go?
Just you explain why you’re even trying
Just you explain why you even try
Just you explain why you’re still breathing
Just you explain why you don’t die

Exponentially Devoted

Seems like someone should speak soon
Haven’t heard a word since last July
I am the one who should be sorry
I am the one who pushed too hard on you
But why deny me the pleasure of hearing your voice?
Why deny me the pleasure of seeing your face?
Momentary weakness got my best
Nearly drank a gallon, I confess
Not hard to determine
What went wrong
When you said it was doomed to failure
All along
But why deny me the pleasure of hearing your voice?
Why deny me the pleasure of seeing your face?
Accidental maybe
You’ll never know for sure
Temperamental baby
Open up that door
Exponentially devoted to your smile

Sleepless

In an unguarded moment
I swear I saw him again
He came to tell me to move on with my life
And at the time he appeared
He seemed so nearly real
Though I know now I was only dreaming
Awakened in cold sweat
Sobbing like a child
Thanks for one more sleepless night
They’re all that I can cling to
In the morning I rose
With a new-found sense of shame
Doubly resolved to finally make my peace
With the ghost of my father
And the ghost of the man I’d become
So the tensions between the two can fade away
Awakened in cold sweat
Sobbing like a child
Thanks for one more sleepless night
They’re all that I can cling to
They’re all that I can cling to now

Air Conditioned Man and Talking Straight are such a furious start to the record I was instantly hooked on everything Rolling Blackouts C.F. had to offer for the rest of the record and their next two LPs.

Throwback pop with gleaming synths, chiming guitars, solid melodic hooks, and a cinematic sense of scale from North Carolina's Rachel Kiel.

An easy-to-love combination of emo and jangle pop, the first full album from Spirit Night in eight years feels bathed in a golden glow.

I love that the guys' harmonies have more focus in this album; it's a very different balance than Expert In A Dying Field, but I like it!
