lyrics

Catch a break, catch a plane, catch something else.
It's hard to catch the truth when you've been running from yourself.
Take a long shower, take a day or two.
Just do things in your own time.
Do what you've gotta do.

You want to be a lighthouse keeper, all alone at the very edge of the world?
Go-ahead young girl.
You wanna be a lion tamer, get your head bitten off any way you can?
Go ahead young man.
All I'm saying is I know people finding redemption under a bridge,
The path to happy aint straight, so get your kicks any way that you can kid.

You can't change the direction of the wind but adjust your sails.
All it takes is a moment for your good intentions to prevail,
And they won't fail.

You reckon you're Mother Theresa, and yours alone is the world to save?
Well, I remember those days.
You reckon you're Mahatma Gandhi, and not eating is gonna prove 'em all wrong?
We're too far gone.
Why not try patience?
Try kindness?
Try something new!
Take 10 minutes, have a breather, yeah take some time to just do you.

You can't change the direction of the wind but adjust your sails.
All it takes is a moment,
For your good intentions to prevail,
And they won't fail.

viscerally affected by covid, this album has a less optimistic but more accepting message than the previous. it reaches the heart of my experience (and others'?) in a cathartic and depressing acknowledgement. it's nice to know you feel the same niq

That album felt like coming home after a long time away but still being proud of everything I'd seen while I was gone. One minute and twenty seven seconds into "Kenver" feels like the culmination of everything I've loved about this band since I was a kid. It feels like the best parts of freedom I've felt on the best nights of my life. Scott
