Cody My favorite album of 2023. Nearly every song has taken its turn being my favorite, but I think Fourth of July will be in the rotation for the next twenty years. Favorite track: Fourth Of July.

jackalbrecht A perfect album for the upcoming summer. Listening to this heartfelt love letter to nature and friendship, I feel the urge to call my own friends to tell them I love them. And also to listen to this album.

Im flying On my roman commander Cutting air cuts my face And whose skin is this And whose neighborhood? Where’s my ma Where are my sisters Where’s my pa Where’s my baby Im flying On my roman commander Just like that night when we snuck out And lay by the creek so sweet for hours For hours in poison ivy Now I’ve got that itch Ive got it back And it feels, it feels so good to burn it In scalding water or with reckless cycling Im flying On my roman commander Im flying to see you

Whats that? Is that a bald eagle No that’s a crow who stole an egg On the Fourth of July Lets go swimming in the river its hot as hell But I hear thunder I am nine years old in line for breast stroke I am running to dad’s car No I am here, I am 25 I don’t have 20 minutes for your bullshit Phone and keys are in my sneaker Behind a pine I am a streaker My friends are smiling underwater I jump the bank a lanky otter I am looking at water hitting water And I am the rock, I am the eddy I am my roommates in love I am blackberry jelly I am the weir, I am the spillway We are singing drinking at the dam I am a cartoon Callahan I am the man getting struck by lighting Huddled under the tire sculptors tarp we are laughing and breathing hard My knee is bloody from scrambling out The rain finally quit and we all split an elephant ear And I went and talked to you for the first time in at least a year You were surprised and I felt bad Your mom said I was a ghost back from the dead And I didn’t quite know how to respond to that Looking at your art on a table Cause im not a ghost And I aint dead I am a crow who stole an egg On the 4th of July

Mill 03:47
The path is covered in glass Where the millworkers buried all their trash But the river bends to a pool It is deep you can jump it is cool The paramedics and ranger were blasé The guy who fell he could walk he seemed ok But everything got so dark and we are dying Somewhere out of sight that damn chainsaw’s still trying to rip us out I’m gonna do you dirty, im falling hard Im gonna do you dirty Fuck the government, you should punish it Count the rings in there, watch me sinking there What’s the problem then? That you feel so bad That you started it? Or was it your Dad? What’s the problem man?

I laid stones ready to strike any predator Who came sniffing in the night But I hear the birds and see the stones, Glad that none were needed as I slept Today im walking towards Damascus Yeah I’m walking towards Damascus My body’s weary and my heart is too Ive had no revelations in the wilderness Though I did take a surprise shit while Leaning off of a ridge And was struck by the beauty and comedy Of attempting to exist But that light fades and I pound the dirt I climb a hill I surrender a hill I eat a honeybun in a motel room Today im walking towards Damascus Yeah im walking towards Damascus Jesus finally came to me at a crossing The sun reflecting off his immaculate ram Blinded I said hello As he took two beers from a cooler in the bed Cracked em open on the tailgate, spit out his dip Handed one to me and I took a sip The cold carbonation and alcohol and his conversation Was such a comfort to me Dirty and eating tuna from a bag I wanna make it to Damascus He smiled, gun on his hip Offered me an oxycodone and he split

Watching the beautiful girlfriends get ready for the party In the only bathroom of your small house is a precious thing I accept the tequila as guest and flip through your bookshelf Tonight our friends will be married Tonight they will be And Patton avenue is congested with red lights from here to new Leicester I drink too much, I sing too loud at the moth light And I feel alone again as I watch maid and officiant dance so sweet Gotta get out gotta talk to my old friends I may not see them tomorrow and I love them Gonna get out of this hostel Gonna go back home Gonna go back to the rat’s nest, like Emmy said She said all I gotta do is go to sleep Go to sleep on an innertube Giving myself to it Giving myself to all that is beautiful and itll do the rest And with hindsight she said Existential confusion reads as joy So im floating, oh im floating Could you pass me a beer Oh no it fell in the river Hey man that’s all right good night
