Talking in the kitchen
I remember listening
You're always reminiscing
Brown hoodies skinny jeans
I’ve only just turned 18
You’re speaking so earnestly
Let it pass
Bring it back
Mortalise
Younger us
Walking home in groups at night
Arms raised to the street lights
Done it before, every weekend
It felt nostalgic even then
Jumping fences, mid sentence
Walk home feeling alive
Heading out into the night
My favourite band from 2009
Can't count the times i've seen them live
Let it pass
Bring it back
Mortalise
Younger us
Walking home in groups at night
Arms raised to the street lights
Done it before, every weekend
It felt nostalgic even then
Walking home in groups at night
Arms raised to the street lights
Done it before, every weekend
It felt nostalgic even then

Back where you're from
01:51

Knee deep in a crystal-clear lake
Leaning over the cliff face
Watching colours fall into dusk
Wherever we go next we've been here first
Finding home back where you're from
Home is with you pick up move on
Nothing too hard or too easy with you
And i could do anything if you ask me to
On the lookout cut into rocks
You want more than just us
Finding home back where you're from
Home is with you pick up move on
Nothing too hard or too easy with you
And i could do anything if you ask me to
Watch our city friends disperse
Wherever we go next we've been here first
Settle in take it slow
leave room for the unknown
Wanting to settle scared of the feeling
But i’m terrified of everything

Home Again 7
02:19
|
|||
|
Not too far around the bend
Playing home again, again
Revert to teenage habits when I
Blast pop punk while i’m stuck in traffic
Singing in an Australian accent
Like a heart without a home
Not too far around the bend
Playing home again, again
Different now than it was then
I’ll play home again, again
Itching to get out of town
Just past my parents house
I’ll fill up at Hampton Downs
If you lived there you'd be home by now
Not too far around the bend
Playing home again, again
Different now than it was then
I’ll play home again, again
I’ve always wanted to drive a truck
I’ve always wanted my own tour bus
It only takes 30 hours non stop
The tip of the tail Cape Rēinga to Bluff
It's well worth the journey
Mostly coast country
Place names you’ll forget
More than you'd expect
Not too far around the bend
Playing home again, again
Different now than it was then
I’ll play home again, again

I’ll drive in a circle round the edges of this town
Stuck in a city i've given up on
Been in this waiting room for 2 years
I’m hyper aware
Clean the wax out of my ears
A constant fear
Of forced settlement, I never meant
To let my hair turn to shit
Develop habits, I’m out of practice
More than i care to admit
I’m hiding
I’m grounded
Becoming
Completely unhinged
Left alone with my own thoughts
Nothings fine I’m torn
Waiting to feel the cold
And wishing for the storm
Forced settlement, I never meant
To let the quiet in
Develop habits, I’m out of practice
More than i care to admit
I’m hiding
I’m grounded
Becoming
Completely unhinged
Left alone with my own thoughts
Nothings fine I’m torn
Waiting to feel the cold
And wishing for the storm
Forced settlement, I never meant
To let the quiet in
Develop habits, I’m out of practice
More than i care to admit
Forced settlement, I never meant
To let the quiet in
Develop habits, I’m out of practice
More than i care to admit
Forced settlement, I never meant
To let the quiet in
Develop habits, I’m out of practice
More than i care to admit
I’ll drive in a circle round the edges of this town
Stuck in a city i've given up on

Ok Bye

Let's take a vote, that's not a no
But taking it on might mean letting go
Was maybe this and maybe who knows
Could we build ourselves a home
Gone off script
This isn't
how i wrote it
Names and dates, how we miss it all
And still we sit, in circles
You’re unsure, I foresee
What time will do to you and me
Names and dates, how we miss it all
And still we sit, in circles
You’re unsure, I foresee
What time will do to you and me
Your best bets are under stress
And bound to cause a mess
You can see the puzzle broke
All the pieces lost along the road
Gone off script
This isn't
how i wrote it
Names and dates, how we miss it all
And still we sit, in circles
You’re unsure, I foresee
What time will do to you and me
Names and dates, how we miss it all
And still we sit, in circles
You’re unsure, I foresee
What time will do to you and me
Let's take a vote, that's not a no
But taking it on might mean letting go
Was maybe this and maybe who knows
could we build ourselves a home
Buildings fall and feelings grow
Time moves slow, things overflow
From what's left you would hope
We could build ourselves a home
Names and dates, how we miss it all
And still we sit, in circles
You’re unsure, I foresee
What time will do to you and me
Names and dates, how we miss it all
And still we sit, in circles
You’re unsure, I foresee
What time will do to you and me

Opened up
Lying head to head
No corners shut
Although it’s been a while we
Love to luck
Parts you forgot are now
Flaking off
Where lichen grew over the
Loves we’ve lost
A little lie between friends
Now compost
Pack the trash because we’re
Clearing out
The year’s leftover hopes and
Doubts about
A headwind coming we are
Watching out
But we’ll always be in
Debt, forget
That we haven’t figured
It out yet
A little light still alive
Tend to it
A light that clears those corners
Out, sunset
All that’s left is reset

Overcommunicate
03:36
|
|||
|
I’ll flip between the choices back and forth
Until nothing makes any sense anymore
Weighing the pros and cons of it all
We’re making sure it's what we hoped for
A year on from now, i’ll remember
or forget everything
can't recall any of the reasons
But stuck with the feeling
Don't stay still but don’t change no decisions to make
Can't help but over-communicate
I hate to make decisions can't ever make plans
Can't stand, not knowing, where i stand
A year on from now, i’ll remember
or forget everything
can't recall any of the reasons
But stuck with the feeling
I hate to make decisions can't ever makie plans
Can't stand, not knowing, where i stand
I’ll flip between the choices back and forth (are you sure)
Because nothing makes any sense anymore
Don't stay still but don’t change no decisions to make
We can't help but, over communicate
Weighing the pros and cons of it all (are you sure)
We’re making sure it's what we hoped for

Grow out my nails to prove that i can grow
Roll out your wrinkles with semi precious stones
Cut all my hair to prove that i can change
You pull your face into its old shape
Eyes twitching and always bloodshot
Expired medicine is all that i’ve got
Old toothaches that don't go away
Its always close to my next birthday
I’ll count the greys, avoid counting spider veins
I’ve found a new ache almost every day
Dry brush away the bottle drunk yesterday
No more time to grow out of my awkward phase
Eyes twitching and always bloodshot
Expired medicine is all that i’ve got
Old toothaches that don't go away
Always close to my next birthday
Softened skin hangs loose, on my face
I’ve found a new ache, almost every day

Let Go
02:02

Looking up not looking down
At the people we have found
Those we’ve lost and those not here
Best friends and our biggest fears
Found a way to renew
The things lost or can't undo
Boiled off, sunken through
Blown away however these things do
Broken promises let go
Or they'll stay on growing old
Added up and all told
Not worth it to hold
Looking up not looking down
At the people we have found
Those we’ve lost and those not here
Best friends and our biggest fears
Broken promises let go
Or they'll stay on growing old
Added up and all told
Not worth it to hold
Looking up not looking down
At the people we have found
Those we’ve lost and those not here
Best friends and our biggest fears

I Know The End 2
03:23
|

|
Our muscles are seizing up
Pretty soon we won't be able to move much
(65 and a touch)
The seeds of our younger years
Have taken root and are growing past us
(Without us)
And though the dreams never crystalised
There were flashes of perfect throughout our lives
(Our life)
I know the end
But that doesn't mean
There's a barrier between
You and me
This time
It won't
Last, so we’ll write it down
And hope it helps
Possessions are piling up
Seven lifetimes of stuff
(Too much)
And the grudges we've held as tithes
Are on their last legs and getting tired
(Expired)
Let the soil build up on the mistakes of the past
Leave it for the kids to dig up
(and make the same mistakes as us)
I know the end
But that doesn't mean
There's a barrier between
You and me
This time
It won't
Last, so we’ll write it down
And hope it helps
I know the end
But that doesn't mean
There's a barrier between
You and me
This time
It won't
Last, so we’ll write it down
And hope it helps

Expert In A Dying Field
by The Beths
supported by 20 fans who also own “Take Time”
I have had this album on constant repeat whilst completing my dissertation AND research project back in 2023. It kept me grounded and at the same time inspired to keep going. It is so hard to choose a favourite track because I genuinely love them all (my album buddyyyy) but I guess the first song that caught my attention was "2 AM" BUT, it is really ALL of them!!!

Great opening track, stays great the whole time. There's seriously not a dud on here. From the high energy opening track to the crazy guitar effects on Acrid to the beautiful closing tracks, it's a certified banger!

Future Me Hates Me
by The Beths
supported by 17 fans who also own “Take Time”
Another beautiful album, crafted with so much warmth and authenticity that as it breaks my heart it is also simultaneously healing it too. River Run Lvl 1, FMHM, Little Death, Not Running, Less than Thou, Happy Unhappy are equal faves but Great Noone, Uptown Girl, YWLM and Whatever are also brilliant BUT if I must/have to choose, it's Less than Thou 🥹
