One of these days it’s all gonna come around
But don’t you let the drudgery in between wear you down
Just keep your gaze a little farther down the road
You keep looking at the ground
You’re bound to lose where you’re going
Day in and day out
I know it’s hard to keep your head about you
It takes thick skin to hold out
While the world crashes in around you
Keep your eyes on the prize, keep your hands steady
Well the water may rise and put cracks in your levy
The weight that you carry, it might be too heavy
Like my mama told me...
Keep your eyes on the prize, keep your hands steady
Well the water may rise and put cracks in your levy
The weight that you carry, it might be too heavy
Some of these days when you get knocked around
Trouble sure seems bigger when you’re staring up from on the ground
Don’t be dismayed by a fight that you can’t win
Better to lose on your feet than to lose on your chin
Day in and day
I know it’s hard to keep your head about you
It takes thick skin to hold out
While the world crashes in around you
Keep your eyes on the prize, keep your hands steady
Well the water may rise and put cracks in your levy
The weight that you carry, it might be too heavy

it's such a beautiful album of grieving and loss and acceptance. it speaks to a particular kind of grief -- not a grieving of one who is lost, but the grieving for one who is still present and still causing pain. i love the last song most because while it could end in pain, or end with the narrators decision to permanently push this person out of their life and that would be justified, it doesn't. instead, it offers something. what is offered? acceptance. hope. and a chance for redemption janmisha

Erudite chamber pop that hearkens back to the elegant and experimental production of the 1960s, swinging from melancholia to playfulness. Bandcamp New & Notable May 13, 2016
