    Already Dead Tapes was kind enough to press a small batch of cassettes for Where The Music Goes To Die. They come with a free download card. So if you don't have access to a cassette player you can still listen to the album digitally. With a finely made alternative album cover designed by the brilliant Elise Powell, this high quality cassette is a really neat piece of merchandise. A cool keepsake for you, and you'll get that warm almost-sickening glow that accompanies helping out a struggling artist like myself. Seriously... I could use the money. You don't wanna know. It's bleak..

    Includes unlimited streaming of Where The Music Goes To Die via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

lyrics

I will not try to look in your eye.
If that’s what you wish, I will honor you this:
I’ll go blind.

Or if you want me to sit and listen to you,
I mean, if that’s what you wish, there’s no need to insist,
I don’t mind.

There is no wrong way through this song.
It is already here, let us enter it dear.
It won’t bite.

This world may not be all we wanted
but it’s all we’ve got.

And in youth we knew our house was haunted,
now we know it’s not.

But may your heart stay open and honest
and learn what it’s taught.

Like this world may not be all we wanted
but it’s all we’ve got.

Like castles of sand, we built with our hands
such beautiful lives. In the blink of an eye
they are gone.

But please don’t lament. Those tears which you spent,
they fell to the Earth. There was a stirring of dirt,
then new life.

And everyone knows what we seldom disclose.
We all wander about trying to drown out
our hearts.

This world may not be all we wanted
but it’s all we’ve got.

And in youth we knew our house was haunted,
now we know it’s not.

But may your heart stay open and honest
and learn what it’s taught.

Like this world may not be all we wanted
but it’s all we’ve got.

I think, all things considered, the songs I write are much more listenable than the songs I don't write.
