(Second Edition Note: the volumes of the electric guitar and bass were adjusted, and the vocals were rerecorded, EQ adjusted, and compressed for better execution, clearer annunciation, and for the background vocals to mix together more clearly and, now that they're double tracked, more robustly.)

lyrics

I’ll be cooking Thai chili in the afternoon having prepped all the stuff in the morning
And you’ll be rolling out our bed at a quarter to two

I’ll be thinking of our plans in units of hours and I hope that they change without warning
Maybe fireworks with our friends maybe just me and you

And the days will pass real slow
When they end I know we’ll know
That there was no place to go, we were already here

They’ll be major renovations in nostalgia-ville, overwriting past associations
The cerebral facades of south campus will have looks to kill

And the former Beacon of Buswell will assigned a new occupation
Maybe mine will be the hands on that windowsill

And the sentiment store still
Has no spaces left to fill
But I’ll repurpose that long dreamt of but unreached promise land

With showers cold
And sneakers old
The weeks unfold
The heat foretold

Jumping in the Charles right before the sun and looking at the hour when its show is done

Part of me might wish that I had had her here but I’ll be glad to shed my planned dependence
She’ll be fornicating out on the docks with the man of the year

Maybe I’ll be filling that void with an actor who has cultivated some of her essence
Or maybe I’ll be picking my apples with a new kind of dear

It’s been damn well clear
Pursuer’s failure fear
Was not helped by the silent sneer of a negligent biome

Plumes Boston, Massachusetts

Plumes is Ben Long (on the drums!) Tim Green and John Thorsen. Music- listening to it, learning to play it, writing more of it- has been one of few things we've taken really seriously for the last 7 years. These songs grew through many late nights and missed appointments. Our songs are all really about something. It's sincere and sometimes naked. Hope you like it ... more
