Jacob Lusinski one of my all time favorite albums, I have it on vinyl and CD but had to get it on band camp too because I need a back up in case something were to happen to my physical copies, it is an absolutely lovely album, I don't think there's an album I've listened as welcoming as this one, it's plays like it's good friend, it always sounds familiar but but never old, I've been coming back to this album for a couple years and everytime I actively enjoy it from front to back and never feel the need to skip a track, thank you for making this delightful album

Dark Ones 02:51
will you be the rings around my eyes? I’m sick of putting the dark ones on will you be the arches on my feet? I’m sick of putting the flat ones on and I will plant you in the carpet of my room and if you could be the rings around my eyes I can’t be putting the dark ones on
2.
Engines 04:34
everything is a pyramid down and the river flows along the ankles of our sun gods are like gods gods are like ours ours hold our hands ours know our names names that will change on the way from the north I brought you to the south where I fought you can you see me on the west bay? can you see my wave my east flag? and our tour guide is a heron he walks along five cawing, clawing paces he points through the glare with his arms not his wings with his mouth not his beak with his mouth he will speak speak to our gods just little kids on the steps on the steps and I didn’t even know that you existed maybe I was born today that’s why I went and missed it and you are not aware of the architecture built here and all the roads spilled here
3.
oh, oh little cloud! I’ll follow you until the sun comes down and now, the sun is high you’re wrapped in firs and stuck in smoky pines ‘cause I don’t want to go west if they’re saying that’s what’s best for me oh, oh little cloud! you’re sharing the sky with miles and miles of blue ‘cause they are digging so deep for gold that they’ll never keep oh, little birds on wire have you noticed the sagebrush stuck to my tire? oh, it may appear this way that I’m driving this way that I’m headed into the waves and I don’t want to stay flat if they’re saying that’s where it’s at for me oh, collegiate peaks I’m in your foothills waiting to tunnel out oh, on the other side maybe I’ll find the grass is gone and dry and brown and dead no animals can be fed ‘cause they are digging so deep for gold that they’ll never keep
4.
and you’re so careful I was afraid you’d be a handful as I was sitting on your stairwell I was afraid you’d be a handful and the heat made you go through the walls, the floor, and stoop on your front steps and onto your roof and you’re so careless I was afraid you couldn’t care less as I was sitting here in my dress I was afraid you couldn’t care less go through with it
5.
Powder Blues 04:21
you can’t find your ring at the bottom of a dirty lake you dropped it in on indecision now you want it back, it’s your mistake I can’t clean this window anymore, you’ll want to use it as a door you’ll hit the glass, and leave a mark and then I’ll have to clean it once more if I made it any more clear it would go and disappear on our minds disappear on its own time on its time why the fear of wind when you are trying to sail across the sea? if I blew it any slower, you’d be shipwrecked in the bay with me and now that you are here why don’t you try to read it in my eyes if the powder blues are gone why don’t you read it in the cloudy whites
6.
Gold Rain 04:18
lost my good life it feels kind of cold oh my brothers I want my face back it’s raining gold and I feel it and you see it and I can’t explain it to anyone who doesn’t understand I thought it’d rain for forty days and gild all the nights but it snowed oh the wind it blows we tunneled out to spring
7.
Timeshare 06:19
and who is afraid of the glow they are made of? it starts in our humble core and shines through our gentle pores it’s warm like the sunshine the southwestern sunshine through a desert and dry mouth it’s careful on its way out our teeth they clench and throats do swell they keep us from murmuring our words that brim our lips and tongues they keep on coming they keep escaping and what is it you came for? is it what you really came from? a place to live, a place to eat not a place to raise defeat let us tell you one more time what is yours, it is not mine the silver and the passive ways are not those of a golden state
8.
Aubade 02:59
Go ahead and make up your own. That sounds like a good time!
9.
I’m making all your clothes for when the winter comes don’t be afraid, I’ve layered every one ‘cause I can’t go home not this, never this alone and when the needle hits my fingers never bleed they are thimbles calloused as they need I’ll thicken up your soul ‘cause mine’s a little thin the nail I stepped on rusted in your sins ‘cause I can’t go home not this, never this alone and I can’t let you in I sent you off so I can begin and if you wanted to come into my room what if I said no? oh where would you go?
10.
he is a tension bridge and she craves attention from him she spent all his time and he spent all his money to try and spend all his time without her he is attentive to all the things that remind him of you
