lyrics
As I fly away from you
my rocketship aims at the moon
My ears are popping
and my head's lost in a swoon
I'm so far above you
I look down at what I missed
I promised I would love you
but, it lasted as long as a kiss
Soon they'll come round with refreshments for all
and you'll be obscured by a cloud
I'm so far above you but I'm never going to fall
like I did when you whispered out loud,
"You're my angel, light and pure"
Baby want a whole lot more.
Baby want a whole lot more.
Seat me by a window now
I'll take an empty row
No stranger there to beg me
to tell everything I know
beneath me is a crazy quilt
of fields and plans and dreams
I can barely see your passion
in the flames along the seams
Soon they'll come round with refreshments for all
and you'll be exposed by a cloud
I'm so far above...
You've shrunk down to a tiny speck
right before my eyes
just a dozen miles between us
my giddiness on the rise
I'm so far above you
I look down at what I missed
I promised I would love you
but it lasted as long as a kiss
Soon they'll come round ...
my rocketship aims at the moon
My ears are popping
and my head's lost in a swoon
I'm so far above you
I look down at what I missed
I promised I would love you
but, it lasted as long as a kiss
Soon they'll come round with refreshments for all
and you'll be obscured by a cloud
I'm so far above you but I'm never going to fall
like I did when you whispered out loud,
"You're my angel, light and pure"
Baby want a whole lot more.
Baby want a whole lot more.
Seat me by a window now
I'll take an empty row
No stranger there to beg me
to tell everything I know
beneath me is a crazy quilt
of fields and plans and dreams
I can barely see your passion
in the flames along the seams
Soon they'll come round with refreshments for all
and you'll be exposed by a cloud
I'm so far above...
You've shrunk down to a tiny speck
right before my eyes
just a dozen miles between us
my giddiness on the rise
I'm so far above you
I look down at what I missed
I promised I would love you
but it lasted as long as a kiss
Soon they'll come round ...

Clever is as clever does; not sure how the phrases and melodies keep coming, but so glad they do. National Treasure territory!

It Doesn't Matter If It's Cool
by Basic BitchesPunchy garage rock that reaches back to '90s riot grrrl and queercore for its grit, snarl, and righteous riffs.
go to album -
Dead Cross, Retox, and Qui members dish out subversive hardcore with an indignant smirk; come for the riffs, stay for the synth experiments.

This Is All We Ever Get
by SPACEDKnockout debut from a Buffalo, New York-based hardcore band who like their riffs sick, their drums fast, and their choruses sticky-sweet.

A lovely addition to the best project of 2023, that at some points feel like B-Sides, but is overall just as strong as the work that made it on "the record"
