lyrics

I used to write about the trees
that lined my family's street
and when I went back home last Christmas
I spent a good chunk of the visit
waiting for one to feel familiar to me.

Is that long road behind me
like the long one ahead?
Both shrink off into nothing
in the small places where they end.

And my old friends
are the same age as when I last spoke to them,
and their lives are beautiful.
At least that's how I'm gonna choose to think of it.

I love the view of a kitchen ceiling from the floor
and you pouring boiling water into the sink
and watching you disappearing into the steam.
I'm watching you disappearing into me.

And my old friends
are the same age as when I last spoke to them,
and their lives are beautiful.
At least that's how I'm gonna choose to think of it.

Mother Yeti - Live Sessions
by Mother Yeti

My favorite Palouse-area band ever since moving here and seeing them live almost 4 years ago. Bill is a talent grenade. One of the most entertaining live shows for miles and miles. monopines

Desolation Horse

Unbelievable songwriter, this guy. Desolation Horse's debut album was my climbing-out-of-the-pandemic soundtrack and will forever remain a guaranteed pick-me-up. monopines

Clouds Over

Danny's music is some of the warmest and most human art I've experienced, and he's one of the bravest musicians I know. monopines
