about

A song about the inability to burp hidden inside a song about the general desire to feel fine most of the time.

lyrics

Last night I booked a flight into Santa Ana, California
Got an appointment there tomorrow
A lifetime of pressure building up behind our busted bodies
An Orange County drug down there swallow

Got pills and pesticides to neutralize the common nature
Got our Creator on Her heels
Days spent navigating ailments we'll examine later
Spun every symptom on the wheel
I know it sounds stupid but it's real--

We die, we die, we die
After we're alive, alive, alive
So lean into the light, the light, the light
Do what you gotta do to feel alright--

Back to Seattle with a silent toxin in my body
Throat chakra shocked and fast asleep
Take time to moderate my breath and drink La Croix, and I'll be
Putting my diaphram on the beat

We die, we die, we die
After we're alive, alive, alive
So lean into the light, the light, the light
Do what you gotta do to feel alright--

It's a 45-minute ride across the rain soaked Pacific Northwest, from recording studios to showings of Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon. Unlike anything I've ever heard. Routine Layup

Walter, Etc's impossibly soothing voice takes you through post-relationship reality, with equal parts doom and levity. Routine Layup

I love this record about as much as I've loved any piece of music in the last 10 years. Their next record is probably just as great, but this one caught me at a moment and its place won't be usurped. Routine Layup
