[Verse 1]
There’s no point in saying any more
This is really not what I had hoped for
I wonder why I tried
With all irony aside;
[Chorus 1]
‘Cause I knew this would happen…
[Verse 2]
Of all the rocks and the planets way out there
I thought yours was brimming with fresh air
I was scared of what could go wrong
I guess I was right all along;
[Chorus 2]
When I knew this would happen to you
[Verse 3]
I wonder how the people I once knew
Have lived their lives and what they are up to
It’s strange when you’re forced to choose
The people that you will lose
[Chorus 3]
I knew this would happen
[Verse 4]
Thinking now about the choices I’ve made;
Am I better for leaving or should I have stayed?
And, often, life is art;
The good things just fall apart
[Chorus 4]
I knew this would happen to you
I knew this would happen to you
This is the latest release by prolific multi-instrumentalist Chris Oliver. EXTENDED PLAY is a great cross section of power pop and psychedelia. Start with "Marsh" and see if you ever stop listening. HVL
Sails are a delightful band from Berwyn. Check out "The Forecast" or the title track from ON MY WAY OUT for a neat blast of retro nostalgia and tidy, clever songwriting. HVL
I fell in love with the track "You are Overgown" when Bryn Austin Bellomy submitted it as part of National Solo Album Month in 2010. Since then, his Brooklyn-based group ILLUMNTR has really taken off. HVL
