It really does.

lyrics

My Pocketknife Says "Life is Strange…"

All the basic needs are met.
If I could only stop window-shopping, I'd be set.
Chemical delivery, aching electricity on the wire;
Old magnetic resonance relegating common sense to the fire.

Somewhat civilized,
But animal inside.

Forgot my hat again, and it's cold on my poor bald head.
Up one little hill, and then two or three, up to the fence-line hickory on the ridge.

A privilege to stand
At the finest spot in the land.

Chorus:
Etched on my pocketknife
Opposite the name
Time-worn and elliptical
The words, "Life is Strange…"

It's curious how it all tends to go astray
But sometimes the design dissolves in such a lovely way
Destinies and best-laid plans handed off to the idle hands of the Fates
Histories of missing years whisper into the willing ears,
"No, it's never too late."

And vital in the void:
The unexpected joy.

(chorus)

The Worthless Son-in-Laws Boone, North Carolina

“The songwriting...is through the roof here both melodically and lyrically, bolstered by a band that nails the songs with pinpoint perfection.... The vocal delivery...is rock solid on what can only be deemed one of the most pleasantly surprising releases of the summer. This one rests near the very top of the ‘highly recommended’ list.”
—Bill Hurley, The Alternate Root ... more
