every night they pull me from our bed
strap me to a chair and pry back my eyelids
then they hit play on that projector screen
before my eyes every mistake is playing
until you kiss the back of my neck and say: "i'm here."
causing that whole scene to disappear
I'm still embarrassed of everything I do
except when I'm with you, except when I'm with you,
I still hate myself most the time it's true
except when I'm with you, except when I'm with you
we were driving home from a friend's party
when I began that night's autopsy
picking apart every word that I said
wondering aloud how I have any friends
when you slipped your hand in mine and said,
"baby, I swear that you were brilliant"
A super underrated gem of Southern Illinois music. This band only played a handful of shows but each one felt so special, listening to this EP takes me back to their old apartment in Carbondale. Dane Johns
I'm somewhat cheating here with a split of two bands I know and love like the header says, but just listen to this. Long live Backyards! Long live The Regulars! Dane Johns
The songs on the latest from Worriers hurtle forward breathlessly, with hook after hook topped by scorching vocal melodies. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 16, 2023
