Ghosts We Forget

by Suicide Swans

/
  • Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    Debut red double vinyl LP. In late 2013 the band retreated to their studio, By the Living Grace, to record and mix their full-length debut ‘Ghosts We Forget’ mastered by Greg Calbi at Sterling Sound, New York. The album fluctuated between rolling mid tempo pastoral acoustic songs such as Great Divide and Everything Must Pass, country lamentations Pinkhearts and In Spite of the Dark Times, classic country rock Torn & Frayed and Shadows of the Lights, blissed out lap steel scuzz rock of Confetti and Someone’s Chrome, the banjo/harmonica mountain anthem of Pine Mountain and the expansive cosmic country jams of Safe in Ours Arms, See Similar Stars and the first single from the album Marriage Song.

Great Divide 04:39
Well as you got lost in the suburbs A mystery that is just the thing In this room full of vibrations Oh come on now, you’re not the only one suffering Well it’s the feelings you can hide They only want you when you die As you cross the great divide As you ventured crawling through the meadows Getting lost out there amongst the breeze Well some they had friendly faces Oh come on now, it all works in a minor key Well a tilting arc is beautifully broken Carried around on two broken knees Shopping malls are collapsed rebellion Oh come on now, it’s a psychic you can believe Well depressions just lonely pride Highways are for us to hide As you cross the great divide Oh come on now, they built blindly into the sky You’ve got to learn to have an alibi As you cross the great divide

When I look at the things that say that I'm Bound in love by you And inside the vows that somehow So exciting and brand new So when I look around at all the beautiful things This world has ever produced None of them compare in anyway To you and only you And through all the commotion of our hectic lives Mixed up in devotion a breath breathed in a sigh And if my heart breaks will you be there to catch me when I fall In spite of the dark times I will love you endlessly I love you more than the stars love the sky In a state of transient progress Pull back the curtains just for a moment now These moves are so complex And in an eye where an eye is still sharp I can act like a fountain head And there are vacations I never thought to go on Like when Einstein takes to his bed And those metal trees we dreamed to climb An architect who can’t create to feel Everything seems to be floating down stream Change colours so the black turns to teal

Confetti 03:13
Short term Sally, She caused a scene In between, Someone or another And oh now maybe, She’s on the run Having fun, You can never keep her Cause when she go downtown, She really go down, Can you believe it And oh my now how she like to get around Everybody needs it Are you ready Yeah I’m ready I’m ready As ready as I’ll ever be Are you steady Like confetti I’m steady Yeah I’m steady on my feet Well long tall Bobby, He works the sums Rob someone, Everybody knows him And oh how he likes to come around, A drowning sound Nothing to believe in Cause when he break on down, He really breaks down Who’s gonna take it And I know that you were never allowed To become what you’re needing Now short term Brenda, She struts along While she thumbs, At the streets that feed her And oh my baby, How she’s loved By someone, Any time when you need her Cause when the buildings shake, They never fall down Down in the alley And you are the best thing to arrive in this town Can you believe it
