Sunday Runner – A riff-forward descent into emotionally pointillistic synth rock that sticks a tricky landing on some lush Mamas and Papas inspired harmonies.
lyrics
too much tonic
in your cloud
I fell before
superchronic
disallowed
on the thirteenth floor
can you throw it
without consequence
to break down the door
does it shimmer
so picturesque
when I put my soul in yours?
I’ve never been a gunner and
I might be a Sunday runner but
I’m running circles all over you
and the lake that lies between us
when we fight for the light that we’ve never seen
it won’t mean nothing when we get through
oh no, not again
caught me fumbling at the gate
all the pebbles in my hand
can't wake the dead
‘cause it's so damn late
I’ve never been a gunner and
I might be a Sunday runner but
I’m running circles all over you
and the lake that lies between us
when we fight for the light that we’ve never seen
it won’t mean nothing when we get through
all I want is all I want is
everything is all you got
I’ll drown a Sunday runner for you

This is absolutely beautiful! I am so happy the Under the Bridge releases led me down this road. It's unexpectedly spacious and just makes me happy! It's very hard to pick a favorite and I will not be skipping tracks as I play through this repeatedly. zq9mare1
