suicidal tendencies
at the end of geometry
think I changed in your back seat
deli trays and RVs
longer you live and higher you fly
but you read the last page in the sky
mathematicians all agree
the greatest number is seventeen
you’re not here
you’re nowhere
cinder blocks in Myrtle Beach
DOA and Frisbees
Derelict walks into the sea
blue lights too early
longer you live and higher you fly
but you read the last page in the sky
mathematicians all agree
the greatest number is seventeen
you’re not here
you’re nowhere

Jesse Pinkman’s on a waterslide
I never learned to love
I don’t know
if I’ve ever been in love
or if I am loved myself
watching the world
watching people move past
like waves cresting through
am I among them?
am I floating by?
am I real?
Jesse Pinkman’s on a waterslide
however forgotten
in the blackest cave of my mind
I exist and am illuminated by a light
from no direction
and I hang there for eternity
in a constant shift
to try to find comfort
and peace
one day I hope to be pulled upwards
and out of this plane
Jesse Pinkman’s on a waterslide

I want a girl with a little dress
and she knows how to impress
and I found her
I want a girl with a long haired cat
black bangs and a back full of tats
and I found her
she’s a vegan
but she smokes Camel Lights
this time I’m gonna roll mine
hand held and in control
she’s a vegan
but she smokes Camel Lights

Wait For It

I just woke up from a bad dream
I thought I lost my mind
I realize I lost my keys
that gives me something to find
I once heard the voice from above
it tried to hook me through the brain
tried to stay calm and think it out
forced waiting game
wait for it
girl if you want it you must wait for it
you can’t deny all those memories
they’re stored deep in your spine
if you try to wipe them clean
you’ll fail in that every time
wait for it
girl if you want it you must wait for it
wait for it
girl when you’re older you can handle it
just fade out to grey

Grand Republic Columbia, South Carolina
old school indie and alt-rock
Influences: Built To Spill, Sonic Youth, Pavement, Doves, Luna, Yo La Tengo
Grand Republic recommends:
The song craft of perhaps XTC but with a dark and elemental post punk vibe. Stephen writes excellent songs with melodic hooks which are undeniable.

The View From Halfway Down
by Andy Bell
Another impressive solo release from Andy Bell of Ride - a selection of trippy, melodic and hypnotic tunes that evokes memories of Stereolab, Spacemen 3, and Beck.

Sean, Christy, and Davey push into sonic beauty and occasional weirdness and make it look damn easy.
