Fourth Of July

from Radial Gate by Sluice

supported by

TheSlowMusicMovement This pleasingly microdosed, misty eyed ode to simpler times and carefree moments, unburdened by the cumulative weights that modern living & societal compliance seem to stack up from Sluice for Ruination Records is hitting the spot today. Fittingly the well worded tales are delivered in a largely familiar, old time folk rock style that swings from the sedate to guitar growling, but always with a quality. Big up the always illuminating New Commute blog for the tip.

lyrics

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
