Hard wicker body
wrapped up in twine
hung in the barnyard to dry
where it's dry
sickled and sorted
chopped it up fine
chucked it in bundles
on the fire
the coals never were much for talking
you notice the air when it's popping
this passage without light
how can it go on?
you wanna live that life
you gotta let it all go
don't let anyone find out
they'll come knocking and make it theirs
but if you ever cried out
you know I'd come fierce
hard wicker body
dried over the fire
i'm like a tinder box
and my life is ready to light
i know, never was sure
i can't see why i go on
we make short work of the night
we're gonna let it all out
i wanna live that life
i wanna let it all go
and if anyone found out
they'd come knocking and make it theirs
but if you ever cried out
you know I'd come fierce
Jack has always had a knack for blending visceral indie rock-pop with experimental structures and harmonies, but the band’s really killing it here. Every track in this collection is special; the grooves are deep and the feeling is right. It feels like a vision fully realized...so much love for these songs. <3 Nick Demers
