Home - Young Jesus

15 songs from 15 writers

5 of which are only silence

Remind me why I keep on trying

The bones in us grow in A minor, C

Be still

The greater boulders slowly fall off all our shoulders

Hold your hand in rolling water

Hear yourself make sense in mono

I am David — I am David!

I am Eloise, I’m jaded

We’re gonna need some new names, Mabel

Tell me all your favorites

Give me some new hearts earthquaking

Tell me emo’s not quite dead

Or say I’ve got some indie cred

Or put The Good Life on repeat

We’ve got a couple weeks or years

We’ve got some time to train our ears

To 12 new songs need underwriters

Interludes need arcade fires

Well arcades need some coins, and so do we

Give me The National with spiders

Give me The Beatles unenlightened

Prize fighting with The Velvet Teen

For some new Brand New memories on vinyl- burning for the wax

With some quick water on our hands

With dust from boulders from our past

I am happy, I am sound

I’ve got my family and my friends

I’ve got these 15 writers, 15 songs

Who said we’d all be well

I think I knew it all along
