We hurt each other so much
I still wonder why it never worked
I wasted time I should have been carefree
unload your woe on me
nobody thinks they’ll wither
I thought you didn’t care but I guess you did
a flower bed gave away your hiding space
you saw the doctor so much
he said go and see somebody else
you don’t have to be so far away
if you wanna leave that’ll be alright
I’ll still be out here on my own
I really don’t mind the time alone
I dreamed about you last night
you were sweet but you were sick
you drink your dad’s hangover now
a flower bed gave away your hiding space
I wasted time that should’ve been carefree
my whole life I wished I died bravely
a flower bed gave away your hiding space
Up there with Joe's best -- it feels like it pulls from every record he's done before while still being completely distinct from any Cymbals record in the way it combines the psychedelia and accessibility with some of the lushest, most ornately arranged music I've heard. Plus the guitars still rock, the solos fucking slap, and the ballads somehow slap just as hard. The narrative based lyrics also hit a sweet spot in Joe's lyricism -- direct but inventive, descriptive and endlessly compelling. Emmanuel Castillo

Pinegrove always somehow feels like the end of a vacation in the best, most bittersweet way. The raw, emotional sounds make me hit replay over and over and over. Truly addicting music. chewwytwee
