    ***CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE-ISH***. If you /really/ want a physical copy, you can feel free to place an order--but be aware that Emily has to find the time to fold the liner/case and that a digital download burned to a CD is free. Only order if you are exceedingly patient, and well-off.

    We hand- print, fold, glue, and bleed on each and every one of these CDs.
    Well okay, we generally wipe the blood off before we send it to you.
    If you're special, which we're sure you are, you'll probably get a personalized note/thank you/booty call in your copy. Request one to be sure! But maybe think about how much time it takes Emily to pen one of those things and pay accordingly. Shipping is not included in base price, but is also pretty negligible.
    Anyhow, everyone else already has one... can't fall too behind the times! Order now, and in a few short weeks you can be holding this EP in your own two hands. It's a pretty magical experience, if we do say so ourselves.

    Includes unlimited streaming of The Eponymous EP via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

about

Inspired by The Old Man and the Sea, this song is one of the stories.

lyrics

INTRO
The old man by the sea
Sits there patiently
He is losing his mind
Everything he knew
Is floating away
He can’t seem to find
-
And the cup he’s holding
Is empty, it’s cold
And the fingers he’s clutching
Have long turned to bone
~
He waits for me
By the sounding Sea
He waits!
~
Oh he longs to see
What’s become of me
Tragic scraps of
His legacy –
His legacy!
~
REST – tremolo x 4
~
Long ag-o
He loved his family
Too scared to know
He’d broken them all but me!
~
KEY CHANGE x 8
Waves crash on the beach
Father waits for me
I won’t – (rest?)
I won’t –
I won’t –
I won’t go.
-

OUTRO
The old man by the sea
Sits there, waits for me
He has lost his mind
And everyone he loved
Has long turned away
He can’t seem to find
His li-fe-li-ine
Oh, oh
