Siamese 03:25
sweetly irreverent you're blissing your petals away pacing the pavement, thinking of something to say when you come home i won't be there sweetly else where slipping fingers underneath our skin touching our toes we are wishing the mothers away feeling our fingers falter and streak down our face one in the same you are elsewhere but i am right here pulling stitching imagined in our side forcing fingers down our throat to feed a thing that will not grow we're trapped in gestation with one thing left- a beating heart it can't be sewn nor torn apart we're not where we want we're wrapped up in love
3.
driving home in hard rain i feel like a passenger with no driver in the other chair your words find no focus and it feels like i'm losing you or there's nothing there to hold onto i don't know what i could mean unknown to you is unknown to me in your arms i cried i held on tight of fear for life i'm shaking now, i don't know why i can't speak, i sat there held my tongue and held my breath hidden words, my empty head i don't know what i could do it feels like i'm losing you
4.
finding myself needing something i hold my hands up high spent my money feeling frightened i bought a way of life a better way to feel alone a lonely shining let window pane pushed on the carpet my hands too sore to fight i love you stretching wordless meaning nothing i covered up my eyes holding tightly favorite love i can see your sky burn bright i love you
5.
Wind 02:24
i will meet you there someday in the wind when we've been tossed around and set again when our bodies start to forget our simple shapes and the places we went oh i'm not really gonna be there not really gonna be alone i will meet you there someday in the wind when i can greet you as an old friend when our breath fails to contend our deepest fears and the words that we meant oh i'm not really gonna be there not really gonna be alone like the dust hanging overhead in light the sudden breath does blow us through this life
6.
Camera 04:51
holding up a camera to take a picture of all of my friends moving craving stillness to capture things that i must not forget but it doesn't work like that i can't recall this one there's dust that hangs in air all lit up in the sun holding back the laughter we quiet down so we can really hear the neon humming proudly all the little lights hung in the air i drove home quietly all caught up in my throat i want it horribly that forever hanging glow
7.
go! turning wheels i only feel the same as ever stuck back a year i think that i am doing better steadfast and falling over feet the ground is moving under me go! ticking clock i count the minutes on my fingers still older now but younger moments flash in features a humming song i want to sing i wanna feel everything go! moving feet i feel the sun is setting later still fading light i sang some songs about the weather i felt so foolish on my feet i wanna feel everything
8.
Neon Bells 03:58
caught up once again in your after alls lost your housekeys on the train tracks and god they lit up like the sun and something else contention rings from your heart in neon bells stuck inside the safety of your better offs left screaming at the rain drops and you can fold yourself up in the mountain swells still deafened by the city's neon bells i will find my own way to sing about you when all of our ghosts have blown away that always like an echo come to haunt you hanging like the sunshine in the day don't get carried away lost you in the autumn turning leaves to ground you said its just the season and on the winter breeze that held the leaves i lost myself and found you in the glow of neon bells i will find my own way to sing about you when all of our ghosts have blown away that always like an echo come to haunt you hanging like the sunshine in the day don't get carried away
9.
it's cold and i love you the wind comes to blow through and in our ears to loudly sing i can only think this single thing watching the plains pass the sun in a basket of trees down by the horizon line i saw you in the pink sky and i opened up the window and the sky filled up the car and the sky filled up with stars i felt safe in your arms the snow on the ground here patches and disappears the sun shines sweetly all around silent since the wind died down i walked down past the driveway the sun shone warm and hard i held you in my heart i felt safe in your arms it's cold and i love you the rain comes to pour through and in our ears to loudly ring i can only think this single thing

about

LIMITED EDITION CASSETTES AVAILABLE FROM OLIVER GLENN RECORDS: oliverglennrecords.bandcamp.com/album/younger-moments

the final soft idiot record! all about youth and friends and fear and time. the footholds that fall away beneath our feet, the love we learn to accept. i worked on this record over the last year and a half on and off between work and droughts of motivation. in the end, it made me spend more time with these songs than any others. this album is the culmination of everything i've learned in the past five years, both as an artist and as a person.

see ya!
