A VHS (free) 05:08
i found a vhs, of us when we were kids the tape it doesnt lie, i was a little shit maybe 9 or 10, i could barely watch i kept thinking what, must have my parents thought and i felt bad for what i put them through ... my babies are growing, up too my babies are growing, someday they'll put me through it too ... i started adding up, the memories i had of being dumb and fucking up disapointing mom and dad by the end the list was long probably more that i forgot i kept thinking what, must have my parents thought and i felt bad for what i put them through ... a miracle, full of regrets i miss them and then they all went back to the present ...

DISCOVER PROBLEMS (free) 01:54
what if we discover problems tell me we can solve them and right the ship course correction it ... is there something that i should look for should you be talking more or know more words count to five or walk backwards ... somedays i think i should not worry you'll grow up whats the hurry other days though its not fair i cant help but to compare you to boys with curly hair ... i should quit trying to write more piano songs and hold you tight in my arms and teach you how to read but your watching the t.v. while i fumble round the keys ...
3.
EXPIRES AND SUBSIDES (free) 05:00
i'm only sick, i'm only sick and tired of hearing sad songs sung when they are not mine i am fine, hearing myself whine bicker and moan about being sad or being alone ... i'm in a bad, a bad state of mind deflecting blame onto you, how cruel there goes our night now picture this, i'll wake up and be fine i'll have changed better from worse but now i've a headache from wine ... everything, even this, everything, expires even this, subsides ...
4.
FASHION BLUES (free) 02:54
there's no need for clothes pristine and new as a father of two and married four years who do i need to impress with how that i dress family or peers no one will say a thing if i disheveled looking like everyone else so it goes unsaid i blend in instead of standing out ... black cardigan, buttoned shirt tucked in old dirty shoes jeans no too tight i disappoint my wife she says they're fashion blues old men that dont act their age seem so vain holding onto their youth but i guess if its their prerogitive to look like a high school kid they've got the fashion blues ... old faded and worn, ripped and or torn the clothes that i'm in but our front yard lawn which we dont use that much is always raked and cut its in pristine condition ...
5.
GHOST EYES (free) 06:07
when you sing the sun refused to shine i know your listening to zeppelin and drinking sherry wine when you stumble through the halls are you looking for a lover or just trying not to fall how could it get much worse you havent slept from waking up and your head already hurts ... you've got those old ghost eyes haunting and cold ... who you running from someone that i know or just someone are you the girl you thought you'd wanna be when you were young the older that you got you lit the fire to burn the bridge you said your still in your bearing years and you dont want kids ... love is like a curse when you embellish it at first we tried hard but it wasnt there like imaginary prairie airs sleepless nights as we both held eachother close i love your ghostly eyes they remind me of mine ... you sing your prayers out in the dark over 5/4 time drums you call your gospel songs an art you'll record them all someday indie rock and jesus christ feedback when you pray but the refrain sounds just like the verse the needle hit you vein and your singing cant get worse ...
6.
GIVING LIP (free) 03:58
look in the mirror, take one thing off dont go beyond the edges your allowed a few dots it emphasizes, your mouth sing soul powerfully modern but it applies to the old ... giving lip supersaturated under appreciated styled and photographed trying hard not to laugh ... now more than ever, the adage applies a hint of shadow and nothing more than your eyes seeing skins real texture, debuting for spring look in the mirror you've taken off everything ...
7.
LONG TERM MEMORY (free) 07:02
i'm too old for good or bad advice criticism whether mean or nice you could say that i am stuck in my ways as i should be now that my hairs are grey salt and pepper my grandpa would say how do you like them apples, anyway i'm getting off track as i think about my grandparents and how i miss them now ... the things i've seen places i've been oh god i hope my brain will keep remembering ... sometime i wanna go and knock on doors of places that i used to live in before see if i remember them correctly but i'm not betting on my memory whatever happened to my old roomates tracy and ryan from the bingo days i'm getting off track as i think about my old friends and how i miss them now ... will i ever see a magazine and not imagine what it could have been with tape and scissors and some coloured ink everything including the kitchen sink i used to put paper on ohans walls and after shows i'd go and talk to paul i'm getting off track as i think about my old job and how i miss it now ...
8.
MIX (free) 04:32
pardon me's from the good natured robot dark eyes teasing and adoring vanity aroused from borrowing loans pretending to have eccentricities ... one day we'll all just mix ... and we'll forget who we were and we'll forget a him or a her ... amateurs playing lovers wasting precious time on romance commuters compare their vast amounts of antiques abnormally large impulsive ignorance ...

NUDE RUN (free) 02:30

10.
PRISTINE (free) 04:07
fishing for compliments affection and more or less of a routine, if we could restore impulsiveness and whims without a second thought the firecrackers lit, i'm waiting them to go off why not jump up and down and all around act like a kid, and make weird sounds fidget with your hands and play in the dirt roll around on the floor, and take off our shirts ... we're pristine pulling back the curtains we put up not reclusive anymore i think the golden years are showing up ... lets put on tunes surf guitars ride bikes to the beach but the trip is too far we're landlocked and safe from big waves and from rain but boy it gets cold and oh how we complain ... in a fine groove in a smooth streak i think regret has run its course in tight lock in a full on stride i think i can swim from shore to shore ...
11.
RECORDS (free) 03:13
stretching out in sundays best will you ever wear your birthday dress or should i just resign to your chosen attire neglect old dreams as just teenage desire ... i miss the records that i've owned now they're lost or stolen ... dabbled in what i thought was poetry stoned in headphones hifidelity ... i miss the record that i've owned now they're scratched or broken ...
12.
TALK PEOPLE (free) 02:49
talk people out of talking bad about people behind their backs or else they might start talking bout you is it habit toxic routine the girls you know they seem to be vicious also quite cruel ... i am on your side ... if your stressing i will lend an ear tell me all your fears get off you chest what you need to vent talk people out of talking bad about people behind their backs or else you could start talking bad bout them ... talk people out of talking bad about people behind their backs or else you could start talking bad bout them ...

about

the Lambta Da's regina, Saskatchewan

The music's expression is paradoxically less solar and extraverted than the character of the seasons would lead us to believe. More than strength or richness there is an intensity, a sensation replete with freshness and firmness, which is remarkable. This deep and confident presence that persists over time becomes the memory of the music, possibly for always. ... more
