Oh Life

Alive Inside
Doesn’t Matter Anymore
Side B
Gone
Curve Away
Time is a River
All Fall Down
lyrics
All Fall Down
Tribal fractures, the great divide
A brutal sun, the burning kind
And call backs, hard to find
Now fortune follows and we don’t control
Grandma’s home, all alone
At peace with any loss of treasure she holds
Thorn filled dark, sad song
Thin coin, too long
And here we are now and all of it showing
Knotting new rhythms of life into place
The gristle and bone affair won’t wait
And needs to be finished or won’t go away
Scorched-earth politics, the policies of cruel
Paranoia raised, the darkest of blooms
And hard to get around of the elephant in the room
Apprehensions grow, anxiety sure
But it’s just old folks and there is no cure
Time bomb and a hard wind blowing
It’s hard to swallow, I don’t know how
Falling ash, lazy town
Sentimental is in fashion and it’s fooling around
Brothers and Sisters falling
And there’s the leering clown
And we all fall down.

Title track was the first I'd ever heard of Jeff's work and it struck me like a ten-ton hammer.
Was a perfect fit for the small-town college I was attending at the time, not far from train tracks itself.
Every time I hear this, I can see the amber light of the street lamps and think about a few walks I made around campus in the dead of night.
Still haven't grabbed hold of the life I've been given as firmly as I ought to, but this song soothes my regret...and the chorus reminds me.... moonandstar8765
Potent pop songs from this Ontario artist with an alternative edge thanks to toothy guitars & synths that go off like fireworks. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 28, 2022
