leave him as a boy
his laugh divides the day in two
let him dream of birds
i wish i was more like him
instead i'm shaking in the sun
he came in a wave
his wings were full of songs
white and unafraid
i wish i had known him then
i wish i was more like him
anyway i'd love to see you there
outside that place someday
and secure i hope to see you there
outside yourself someday
anyway i hope i see us there
outside that place someday
and secure i'd love to see us there
outside ourselves
someday

your machine gun
eyes fire
off into the night
crystal hour
across the city
i can feel your white
sinking in me
i have never known anyone
i'll sew these bones
before the dawn
asleep in gardens
geometric
my heart collected in the vine
adorned with flowers
while i waited
for the world
to flood my mind
i have never known anyone
i'll sew these bones
before the dawn

until he drives you mad
until you bury his head
fill up the holes in your room
use the rays of your eyes
it's much more difficult
than it sounds
everything acid and sad
everyone distant and hard
use the voice of a swan
you couldn't hear after
you couldn't hear after it all

i see you moving like an animal
and through your walls the horses come
and i cannot communicate with them
or perhaps we have never met
i see you and you have nothing left
i've been missing all the bonfires
you said we had the things we have
margaret you'd make a perfect bride today
i went deaf in the parking lot
when your voice came through my mouth
like a ray comes through the dark
i cannot recognize myself
my skeleton moves without me now
i see you and i am jealous of
i am jealous of
margaret you have the brightest eyes
margaret you'd make a perfect bride today

thread around my arms
pierces my mouth
man arise from the lake
find there is nothing left
spine splits and shifts
from dusted days
her perfume is sick
gun powder sings
you're beautiful
silver apples
like carrion

Gem Club Boston, Massachusetts
There are times when beauty and sadness are inextricably linked. New England-based songwriter, and producer Christopher Barnes of Gem Club understands this fragile symmetry. With sincere, expressive songwriting, he creates music that is intimate and graceful, transporting listeners to realms of self-reflection. It’s an effect that's sometimes sad, sometimes full of yearning, and always personal. ... more

All Delighted People EP
by Sufjan Stevens
supported by 10 fans who also own “Acid and Everything”
It may not be a full-fledged LP, but All Delighted People is probably my favourite of Sufjan's works. Without an overaching album theme to tie the songs together, it felt like Sufjan was free to experiment on each track and give them their own unique sound. And because of that (and Sufjan's talent), every track on there is a standout track.

The new album on Z Tapes is the perfect blend of wry, witty lyrics and warm bedroom pop.

Romantic songs with a light power pop feel swell with sentiment over big hooks.
