lyrics

I saw some people we know
They told me you’re working on a list of all the virtues
They told me you’re walking from Arizona to Kentucky
Is that true

I want somewhere else to go
I want a place with a better vision of the future
I’m living in a place where they lock up eight of every thousand
That is true

And I said ahhh
The bigger the better remember
Hold me close and try and keep it together
And I can feel the fear come and pull us into the waves
Here we go

Over the news of the day
Take a look into the root of division
Bring it all back and tell me something I already know

Here we are fighting the fight
Getting by without a vision of the future
Putting one foot in front of the other
Here we go

And I said ahhh
The bigger the better remember
Hold me close and try and keep it together
And I can feel the fear come and pull us into the waves
Here we go

I Was Born Swimming
by Squirrel Flower

supported by 106 fans who also own “A List of the Virtues”

Absolutely brilliant, dreamy indie folk-rock. Most of the songs are somewhere between two and three minutes but feel as though they last a lifetime (in a good way). Beautifully heart-wrenching from beginning to end. Kirk Gauthier

This album rips. I’ve passed on Japandroids for several years since discovering Polyvinyl Records, and I have to admit I regret that decision immensely. This album is fast, furious, and a LOT of fun. Kirk Gauthier
