A Better Line

Any fevered feeling
I'd take for a sign
And after this I'd loose my mind
Looking for romance, in the places I would never find
In need of a healing
You head on your way
And these things aren't built within the day
But come to relieve me, giving acts to this tragic play
You know
About to rearrange the world
And you know
I couldn't stop it if I tried, so I won't
I've been trying to find an answer
For what its worth it's not worth my time
Leads you to complete disaster
Trying to force and to define
But with you I just get a feeling
I've racked my brain for a better line
And reticence won't help it either
I am yours, if you are mine
Patiently waiting
For this to make sense
S'pose I've been sitting on the fence
'Cause each time I see you, the fever comes around again
You know
That I see you and I'm sold
And you know
I couldn't stop it if I tried, so I won't
I've been trying to find an answer
For what its worth it's not worth my time
Leads you to complete disaster
Trying to force and to define
But with you I just get a feeling
I've racked my brain for a better line
And reticence won't help it either
I am yours, if you are mine
You know...
You know
About to rearrange the world
You know
I can't seem to let it go
You know
I see you and I'm sold
You know
I'm with you through every ebb and flow

So you've stopped trying to think of ways, of getting through to me
Cause I know they would have broken through by now
If you stuck for ideas
Just sit down and prick your ears
'Cause there are many, that I may have jotted down.
I hear the nights roll by, so much quicker since
The last thought you had perished, not to be retrieved
But when he asks you if
You've felt this good before
Does the topic soon recede, quicker than the Concorde?
Ahhhhh, Ahhhhh
Ahhhhh, Ahhhhh
Ahhhhh, Ahhhhh
Ahhhhh, Ahhhhh
As it happens there may be a reservation in the tank
Or a spark when, colliding in the street
But the resultant blast shimmers
And the mindset starts to linger
Like a broadcast, littered with repeats
All the time, you spent eyeballing those stagnant cups of tea
Seems like I'm the only one, to find it funny
Cause we're equipped, to always heed
To what we want not what we need
And it is that thought, that has always bothered me
You slot succinctly into both categories..
Ahhhhh, Ahhhhh
Ahhhhh, Ahhhhh
Ahhhhh, Ahhhhh
Ahhhhh, Ahhhhh

I Was Electrocuted Seven Times and Now I Can See the Future
by Jesse and Forever
The title is an attention-getter to be sure, but this collection of trippy psych-pop more than earns it with its wavy, acid-laced melodies.

Two dozen 12-string acoustic improvisations that feel undeniably haunting, like lost transmissions from ancient Appalachia, rediscovered.
