lyrics

PORTLAND IS LEAVING

come along with me now cause there are things I've been
dying to tell you / the best of the worst things that you never
needed to know / this is the kind of comedy where no one’s
laughing, cause it's hard to / I'm a punch line who's punch-drunk
with my fist in a broken mirror / there’s a party nearby / I can hear
laughter in the distance and it all comes clear / sounds to simple
love is the only answer / everything else is just a train wreck
I'm gonna stay up all night every night for the rest of my life / till
the lines around my eyes grow deeper and more defined / you might
ask me aren't you dead inside and so damn tired / I’ll say I have no
idea I'm not sleeping until after the dying is over / I can hear laughter
in the distance and it all comes clear / sounds to simple / love is the
only answer / when love’s a train wreck you're a mistake

May Our Chambers Be Full
by Emma Ruth Rundle & Thou

supported by 5 fans who also own “Portland Is Leaving”

I love the light and shade between Bryan's dirty and Emma's forlorn vocals. There are so many layers to this recording that are driven home through contrast. Plus the riffs are brilliant and get me moving. I can't stop listening to Thou and Emma in general lately. spaceman2250

Analphabetapolothology
by Cap'n Jazz

supported by 4 fans who also own “Portland Is Leaving”

Finding these guys in middle school surely helped form my music taste as a whole, and Cap'n Jazz still sound so unique and special to me. So much wonderment, joy, sadness and exploration. I will never get tired of listening to these goofballs squishyfishyfoo

Here in the Pitch
by Jessica Pratt

On her fourth album, Jessica Pratt blends up 60s pop and bossa nova into a spooky mix of soft psychedelia. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 20, 2024
