Pure Silence

Faithful Darkness

By my hand you shall die
I am your end, the last light
There's no heaven
there's no hell
Just a second in pure silence

Hear me now when
I am screaming
Don't deny when
you can't see me
x2

You have no life to spare
No one can escape reality
You'll be a name in stone
No can escape reality

One step closer, come forward
You can't escape
your apocalypse
There's no escape
there's no paradise
Just a second in pure
silence

Hear me now when
I am screaming
Don't deny when
you can't see me
x2

You have no life to spare
No one can escape reality
You'll be a name in stone
No can escape reality


No one can escape...

You have no life to spare
No one can escape reality
You'll be a name in stone
No can escape reality

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,
