Dedicated to Norman Blake. Previously available as a bonus track on Youth Without Virtue.

lyrics

Don't turn away
When I'm looking for the words to
Make it okay
They never come today

Holding onto
What you'd like to lose
Let it fall away
Maybe you don't need to explain

When it closes in
Familiar places that you've been
I'm running, too,
To the trouble I thought we knew

Holding onto
What you'd like to lose
Let it fall away
Maybe you don't need to explain

Don't turn away
When I'm looking for the words to say
Nothing's okay
And what have you got to gain?

Holding onto
What you'd like to lose
Let it fall away
Maybe you don't need to explain

Songs From Another Life
by The Boys With The Perpetual Nervousness

supported by 4 fans who also own “Norman 4”

The indie pop on Songs From Another Life sounds confident yet delicate, and the strummy and jangly guitars makes me long for spring. Some songs sound like straight up Teenage Fanclub worship, but in a good way. Fans of The Byrds and Big Star will probably dig this as well. Niek || Add To Wantlist
