lyrics

All I found to get me through
Was a vaguely worded promise said by you
It’s turning out to be a perfect way
To keep this place from burning down
To tell you the truth

Any time voices pierce the calm
It's the most boring conversation ever
Listening to people tell you your future
Impatiently awaiting September

Any time acquaintance call your number
You anticipate feeling scared
Recognize faces you remember
From the long ago days of terror

All I found to get me through
Was a vaguely worded promise said by you
It’s turning out to be a perfect way
To keep this place from burning down
To tell you the truth

Always with that guilt and sadness
Some days I would believe its true
I'll wait for that empty promise
I'll take what I can get from you

I Was Born Swimming
by Squirrel Flower

supported by 106 fans who also own “Society of Winners”

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

Celebration Rock
by Japandroids

supported by 104 fans who also own “Society of Winners”

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
