If I Don't Get a Job

If I don’t get a job
would you still live with me?
Would you let me buy your groceries?
I swear I’ll vacuum at least twice a week
If I don’t get a job
can I water your plants?
Run your errands, find your favorite bands?
On the shelves that you can’t reach I’ll put away the pans
And if I get a job
and start to get boring
would you sing with me, keep me going?
That’s all I want, my bub
And if I get a job
would you stay up with me?
Tolerate long nights and extended working week?
And when the checks are not enough
could you learn to love my rice and beans
and all of that cheap stuff, my love?

Blowing Wishes

Every May we would blow wishes
Find the bushes and the trees
floating white dust dandelions
Jump and catch them in the breeze
Last may you packed me wishes
“Safe travels, take these with you”
I drove to the big city
blew wishes when I missed you
Do you wanna say goodbye now?
It’s almost time to leave
Do you wanna say goodbye now?
Let’s take our time let’s breath
Pack up everything we’ve found
Now we’re blowing wishes on the way out of town
It’s August now, wishes are gone
I’m sure that they’ll be back next year
We’re leaving now, soon we’ll be gone
but someday we’ll be back through here
Do you wanna say goodbye now?
It’s almost time to leave
Do you wanna say goodbye now?
Let’s take our time let’s breath
Pack up everything we’ve found
Now we’re blowing wishes on the way out of town

Dog Videos

Nobody’s crying now
at least not in this house
We’re just making baked goods
and kissing soft on the mouth
Well if you wanna see me cry
that's too bad
I still have emotions
they're just only for dogs
I still have emotions
they're just only for dogs
Well if you wanna see me cry
just play a video where someone’s dog dies

You just can’t lose the rhythm
No, I won’t let you lose the rhythm
Darkness will come every night
Just let me be by your side
No, I won’t let that beast get to you
When time ends we’ll lay down as two
But till then you just can’t lose the rhythm
Don’t you lose the rhythm
No don’t lose the rhythm
You just can’t lose the rhythm
No, I won’t let you lose the rhythm

Trying Columbus, Ohio
Sweet, struggling, noisy, homemade indiepop
Trying recommends:
These two can make me laugh and sigh and feel so full of joy with their music.

Guitar pop with this many hooks is always enviable and always a fun time.

So tender and yet so determined. Great songwriting for people who have hearts.

Songs From Another Life
by The Boys With The Perpetual Nervousness
supported by 5 fans who also own “I Won't Let You Lose the Rhythm”
The indie pop on Songs From Another Life sounds confident yet delicate, and the strummy and jangly guitars makes me long for spring. Some songs sound like straight up Teenage Fanclub worship, but in a good way. Fans of The Byrds and Big Star will probably dig this as well.

More ambient and exploratory than their motorik-heavy debut, Dummy continues to evolve into a more confident band with its own distinct creative vision on EP2.

Stop apologizing
by Frankie valet
The first full-length release from this St. Louis group is full of simple, sweet dream pop songs with a touch of Paisley Underground fuzz.
