If I could take a pill to have at hand your memories,
would I? Would I, would I, would I?
If I could suddenly understand your hidden maladies,
would I? Would I, would I, would I?
If I could magically see the writing that you etched in me,
Would I? Would I, would I, would I?
Cause I think what I do not know
can fill a hole with softest cotton
so that when I fall inside
my softest side won't be forgotten.
If I can sit beside you while I write these words and sing this song,
should I? Should I, should I, should I?
If I can see the pain inside you burning you and know it's wrong
should I? Should I, should I, should I?
If I can love you through the things I can't abide and hold my tongue,
should I? Should I, should I, should I?
The moral of the story is,
the story is what I've forgotten.
And if you make it to the end,
you'll find the end is made of cotton.
If I decided I would make you pay for what you did to me,
could I? Could I, could I, could I?
If I wanted only to lie down with you and touch your skin,
could I? Could I, could I, could I?
If I just walked away and tried to make myself a whole new life,
could I? Could I, could I, could I?
The needle's eye is threaded, but
the thread is simple -- made of cotton.
The rich man and the camel ride
on backs of turtles, long forgotten.

Not my normal fare, but oddly compelling as always. Hard to pick just one, but I've Been Better is moody and evocative. Also love Baritone at the end. This album is a labor of love and it shows. As with Spiders!, I'm left wishing for more, but settling for repeat play. Venya
The hard-hitting, genre-agnostic songs on the latest from Dan Webb were inspired by conversations he had with a wide range of musicians. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 18, 2023
The Holy Family describe their music as “an auditory Rorschach test,” and the dazzling psych-folk on this LP fully backs up that claim. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 3, 2021

It's been a long time since someone made me appreciate this genre. Also, the strong Sister of Mercy vibe, complete with the beautiful cavernous voice, can't fail. Simone Silvestroni (Minutes to Midnight)
