There’s nothin like the sound of rain falling on the window pane
There’s nothing like the shimmer of salt
Lakes and creeks all down your cheeks
I’m just trying my best to be
The best version of me
And if that’s not enough then darling
let the rains drown out the plains
[strum]
There’s nothin like the sound of rain falling on the window pane
There’s nothing like the shimmer of salt
Lakes and creeks all down your cheeks
I’m just trying my best to be
The best version of me
And if that’s not enough then darling
let the rains drown out the plains
[Pre-chorus x2]
Chorus:
Oh, nothing was ever meant to be this way
Rigid chorus will always lead into decay
If we can’t change ourselves, then what’s the fucking point, I’ll tell you what
Make your own, as you go, or else you’ll disappoint
[Picking verse]
Do your best to smell the roses all before they rot away
I can only suggest, I can’t tell you anything
The world is wide and dark and gentle and it’s calling out your name
She rumbles quietly, she’s guiding us, please listen, and take heed
Please listen and take heed x4
[pre-chorus x2]
Chorus:
Oh, nothing was ever meant to be this way
Rigid chorus will always lead into decay
If we can’t change ourselves, then what’s the fucking point, I’ll tell you what
Make your own, as you go, or else you’ll disappoint
Hi we're a couple of queerdos that write songs that are punk and folk and everywhere in between. Fuzzed out violins, fast paced guitars, singing our hearts out. Learning to wield hope like a baseball bat <3
John Underwood is a ten-piece one-man-band, and he seems to be producing new instruments from his infinite beard every time I see him. He's an incredible musician, and deserves a proper listen to <3 Flower Crown Me A Queen
Bobby's Oar is one of those projects where you notice something new on every listen. Greg's writing and playing style are infinite influences on me, and Not What I'm Looking For is just incredible. Flower Crown Me A Queen
You haven't heard of Escape The Stake yet, but you will. This is everything that got me into folk punk in the first place, plus a little more. Pay attention, this person is fucking going places! Flower Crown Me A Queen
