about
wasn't sure what to do with this song for a while. then i decided, "y'know, i like this version just the way it is; appropriately shakey and off the cuff." viola! it used to be filed under "demos" then i moved it to the "complete" bin.
lyrics
you're the lump in my throat that i can't choke down
the butterflys in my stomach flying around.
you're the twitch in my eye that i can't blink out
the nagging little detail i keep thinking about.
you're the rising sun when i want to sleep in
the advice i gave that i should've taken.
you're the moonshine shot that blinds my eyes
the words on my lips definition defies.
you're the sliver in my finger that i can't find
the blank shame lurking in the back of my mind.
you're the rising sun when i want to sleep in
the advice i gave that i should've taken.
don't you think i know
that i should let you go
i'm driving up the lawn
because i'm running out of road.
you're the medication that makes me ill
the empty tape that i can never fill.
a diamond ring on a tarnished hand
a secret prayer i'll never understand.
you're the rising sun when i want to sleep in
the advice i gave that i should've taken.

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!
Toronto rivals San Francisco as the North American capital of jangle pop as evidenced by this new record of sunny jams from the Motorists. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 16, 2024
The Cleveland band temper uncompromising metalcore breakdowns with infectious jangle-pop melodies and ample dark humor.
