  • Cassette + Digital Album

    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 hope you know this song is not about you.
It's not about the time you undressed me with your eyes
and it's not about your lips,
or the ways in which your hips
elucidate the wisdom of your thighs.

I hope you know this song goes on forever.
It is not merely the procession of these notes.
No, the depth from which it springs,
it is the source of everything.
My method is to do as I am told.

And so it is I am an echo,
I am a vessel of your truth.
Here it is, I am an echo.
One voice torn in two.
I am a memory of you.

I hope you know this song is all I've got left.
It is that final thread which is tying down my mind
and if you hear it snap
it will be followed by a laugh.
You can not really lose what you could never find.

I hope you know this song is not completed.
It is not gliding down some track to its bitter end.
No, the movements of the times
and the way the stars aligned
were not plotted in advance like some silly trend.

And yet here it is, I am an echo,
I am a vessel of some truth.
Here it is, I am an echo.
One voice torn in two.
I am a memory of you.

I wanted you to know that I am thankful
for all the ways you've been so kind.
You always gave me what I asked for,
even when what I asked for was just a waste of time.

It was a waste of time.

I wasted so much time.

Matthew Squires Austin, Texas

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