lyrics
i found a magic guitar
for a while it made me a star
it wrote my hits for me
took me all around this country.
but i signed my soul away
and the magic stopped that day.
i had a magic guitar
and for a while i was a star.
a hundred and seventy bucks
would guarantee me the luck
least all of the luck i would need
in order to succeed.
or so the old indian said
as he spat and nodded his head.
he sold me the magic guitar
that would take me so far
i was taken for a ride
taken so high then so low.
i was taken in then spit back out again.
he gave me a warning, too;
"please be mindful of how this is used
not to find some glory or fame,
but the savage breast to tame."
i told him, "whatever you say."
to the top of the charts i made my way.
i lost it all when i lost sight
of what was wrong and what was right.
i went back to that old man
he laughed and said, "i don't understand
there's no such thing as a magic guitar
that could make or break a star."
then he called me a stupid kid
to believe all the crap that i did.
he revealed that it had been all me
not some pawnshop guitar i bought for one seventy.
i was taken for a ride
taken so high then so low.
i was taken in then spit back out again.
i signed my soul away
and the magic stopped that day.
i had a magic guitar
and for a while i was a star.
one word: atmosphere. after hearing these songs live and digging the feel of the "demo" versions it's nice to hear it all in a cohesive package. somewhere between the raveonettes and charletons UK. wctm gold!
chock full of fun rock rumpus' equal parts 13th floor elevators and ventures; weird, charming and just a bit obtuse. glad to hear the songs sound just as good recorded as they translate live. wctm gold!
The Cleveland band temper uncompromising metalcore breakdowns with infectious jangle-pop melodies and ample dark humor.
