Calling After

Dead heat of the summer
Still felt in the night
Streetlight by the water
It’s audaciously bright
We’ve been walking ragged
Burning holes in the soles of our shoes
I’m like a boiler in a boiler room
You were pulling at strings
Trying to unravel me
The barrier king softly calling after
Calling after
Calling after
You were calling after
Calling, you were calling, your words falling
Dead heat of the summer
Still felt in the night
Streetlight by the water
It’s offensively bright
We’ve been walking ragged
Burning holes in the soles of our shoes
I’m like a boiler in a boiler room
You were pulling at strings
Trying to unravel me
The barrier king softly calling after
You were
Calling after
Calling after
You were calling after
You were calling, you were calling, your words falling

Oh you see your heroes
In a vending machine
Wondering if this was
Meant to be
Spring came around
And swept you off the ground
It takes you away now
Takes you away now
Pausing under city lights
Flickering against the night
Never one to overstay
When the sun calls you away
When the sun calls you away
When the sun calls you away
Be absolved of social sin
In a city you’ve never been
And you’re building it up
You ran it once but won’t do that again
Finally in open air
And there’s nightmares everywhere
You’d never thought you’d be this here
Never thought you could see this here
Pausing under city lights
Flickering against the night
Never want to overstay
When the sun calls you away
When the sun calls you away
When the sun calls you away
City lights
Against the night
Never one to stray
When the sun calls you away

Split Time

It’s not the way it started
It’s best that we parted
I can’t tell you where the feeling goes
When it comes back you’ll be first to know
It’s not a phase we go through
It’s more of something that we both knew
Would you know the feeling on your own
Could you live this way all alone
The early times are so much longer so much farther away
In the end I wish I’d known
I can’t live this way alone, alone
You can try and catch me
I’ll be in the back alley
Running from my friends
Back to my party
Philly’s underwater
And I’m not getting any younger
Would you know the feeling on your own
Could you live this way all alone
The early times are so much longer so much farther away
In the end I wish I’d known
I can’t live this way alone, alone

You were in the wrong way
Beneath the castle
Well the lens goes both ways
From there to here
Seeking an understanding
Lips to my ear
Talking in the cinema
Talking in the cinema
Talking in the cinema
Talking in the cinema
Sweepstakes winner
Plays the loser’s song
A song of guessing
When the next win will come
Seeking an understanding
Lips to my ear
Seeking an understanding
Lips to my ear
Talking in the cinema
Talking in the cinema

The Ranger

Outside, widespread eyes
Glimpse of fading rays
Never bothered, you came
Farther useless aim
The ranger, the ranger
The ranger, the ranger
Filtered through canopy
My mosaic view
Light swirling around me
In strokes of green and blue
The ranger, the ranger
The ranger, the ranger

I’m out tonight
To bark at the moon
My hair swept back
By a Dio tune
I wanna go play cards in a backroom
I’ll be up all night, yeah, I’ll be nowhere soon
I’m on an inland getaway
In the good day Chevrolet
I’m on a one way ticket to midnight
I’m on a one way tonight
I’m on a one way ticket to midnight
I’m on a one way tonight
Line up, stare down
The worn out cloth
Hold back contact
You gotta hit it soft
I want to keep my cool when I’m on the rocks
I put my time in now I’ll take a few days off
Got a blue horizon glued behind
The champagne terrain
I’m on a one way ticket to midnight
I’m on a one way tonight
I’m on a one way ticket to midnight
I’m on a one way tonight

Replacements

God, what a mess
When you are at your best
They walk through the door
Show ‘em just what they’re in for
All quiet at the back
Beats a front row heart attack
At the border of excess
A deep breath and one step more
Call a substitute
Step into my shoes
There’s not a soul in here who
Could ever take the place of you
Attitude locked away at dawn
Comes back just as you are sipping on
Well the covers come and the covers go
We ride the highs and loathe the lows
Feast your eyes on another episode
Call a substitute
Step into my shoes
There’s not a soul in here who
Could ever take the place of you
Replace me and replace you
Settling for substitutes
Replace me and replace you
Settling for substitutes
Replace me and replace you
Settling for substitutes
Oh, ditch the old
And start anew
Falling out and falling through

Ripping it up, shaking it up all night
(Just like you wanted)
And you see the fangs hanging upside down
(So disappointed)
Well, like it or not you’ve got the devil in you
(So wild-hearted)
So let’s rip it up, shake it up
All night
If your soul is broken
Take time to fix it and
Open it up
To the sky above
Then walk the same streets that we used to
It’s not the same thing as it was
But it’s still fun
It’s oh so fun
Let go of the backward notion
That we’re just going through the motions
Skipping stones in to the ocean
Set sights on gates wide open
Ripping it up, shaking it up all night
(Just like you wanted)
And you see the fangs hanging upside down
(So disappointed)
Well, like it or not you’ve got the devil in you
(So wild-hearted)
So let’s rip it up, shake it up
All night
Don’t walk the same streets that we used to
It’s not the same thing as it was
But it’s still fun
It’s oh so fun
Let go of the backward notion
That we’re just going through the motions
Skipping stones in to the ocean
Set sights on gates wide open
Ripping it up, shaking it up all night
(Just like you wanted)
And you see the fangs hanging upside down
(So disappointed)
Well, like it or not you’ve got the devil in you
(So wild-hearted)
So let’s rip it up, shake it up
All night

Clear views
Bring me the news
In a ten by ten
Overlooking Santa Cruz
Radio again
To ranger Chamberlain
Follow through
Follow through to Redwoods Basin
The scouting trail
Rocky crags avail as the
Rope frays
The lynchpin sets its sail oh on
Long days
Hiding out from the one who strayed on
Dovetail
Forget the past for a phrase
The lucky miles
The lucky miles
We’re running down the lucky miles
We’re running down the lucky miles
We ran out of the lucky miles
We ran out of those lucky miles
The lucky miles
The lucky miles
The lucky miles
The lucky miles

If I ran down the river
And left my eyes behind
Pier walkway swaying
Into campout tunnel-wide
You said you know where
All the cool spots are
Like the map be playing
Well trust my eagle eye
Do you know what I’m thinking now
Do you know what I’m thinking now
Do you know what I’m thinking now
Do you know what I’m thinking now
Help me remember
I will remember
Did you sleep outside
Out in the cold
Fold cover blue
All the photos knew
Do you know what I’m thinking now
Do you know what I’m thinking now
Do you know what I’m thinking now
Do you know what I’m thinking now
Help me remember
I will remember

One Final Summit Before The Fall
by Submotile
supported by 5 fans who also own “One Way Ticket to Midnight”
Shoegaze with a grand sound. Daniela threads highly melodic vocals into the seams between the driving guitar layers and the busy drum patterns. There is a heavy punch to this release and the thrust of it often sneaks up out of a hazy lull when you least expect it. A favorite of 2022

Ol' man Mould seems to have found another gear with this album, and for that I am thankful! Looking forward to taking my teen daughter to see the punk legend in Sept in Boston!

Misplaced Words
by Jetstream Pony
supported by 5 fans who also own “One Way Ticket to Midnight”
This is an unbiased review. That being said...I fell in love with Beth Arzy's voice the first time I listened to Aberdeen. I could listen to Beth sing the instruction manual for a dishwasher. But I'm grateful she's surrounded by talented and totally capable band mates instead. I'd rate Misplaced Words 4.6 out of 5. And had a devil of a time picking a favorite track. Tomorrow I might pick a different one as they're all very good. My biggest complaint is the album is over way too quick.
