I remember when I was
Where I learned all band names are terrible
And not precisely when I was
Where for the prior entire year I lived one birthday ahead
There's no playback here, there's no repe-e-a-t...e-e-a-t
I remember when I was
Though to this point not precisely
Where I first learned that time
Is not only traveled, but traveled extensively
There's no playback here, there's no repeat
If you feel sure that you heard it, please suspend your disbelief
And it plays on, put your face on, so it stays on and the happiest plays on words
If you're certain that you're hurting, please suspend your disbelief
There's no playback here, there's no repeat
And it plays on, put your face on, so it stays on and the happiest plays on words

I still hope to write a line that's timeless
A thing of abstract beauty kept ever fresh and evergreen
But hopefully you stay patient
As that temptation was not as strong in 2017
Someone with my phone has checked in—my phone's OK
Slimy figures and gross receipts
Someone put a country half to work and on the take
Half to work and full asleep
We should be able to read the comments
Not scorch the earth of all the tribes who don't agree
There should be no amount of privilege
Ever leaves you content to say, “Let it all go to hell, 'cause I'll be OK” / It'll be fine for me
You south walling, cop calling vanity plate
Unsparing, uncaring vulgar estate
Someone with my phone please let me know my phone's OK
Tag my new friends for me
Someone whip this nation back into a bitter state
Hope your long payday buys an easy sleep

Get rich or try dying
Never to be too well known to the camera kids
Avoid unflattering lights
If you were waiting for something non-specific, looks like here it is
This is the town that put the I in “spacious”
The hat in hand that the head replaces
Unpopular culture, maybe, but mine
Phone image, mute the color
These hairline bottles: vodka, vodka, gin
So you reverse your aloha
In the mood to show me just how much I've not been listening
This is the town that put the I in “specious”
I aim to more or less rebut your thesis
That context is King*
*in certain places and times
But it's too busy, too tired, thoughts too heavy
(Rinse/repeat) x (infinity)
This is the time that put the I in “specious”
The voices thrown by telekinesis
If context is king, long live out of mine
Been young for a long time
And when there's nothing to do at least there is still nothing I could say

The confidence without delusion

When I reverse my aloha, I won’t expect a flattering light
I see those camera kids casting their ugly glows tonight
I’m muted, refuted
(You) claim a patch of earth and scorch it
(I) try to squeeze the rhyme “unfortunate”
(We) detonate in self-importance
If the plan's to stay young much longer you're going to need less time
But if your aim is simply file by deadline
Put the phone down
(You) comment in a way that's privileged
(I) have your cake and eat the village
I remember when I was
I remember when I was
And not precisely where
For the entire year
I traveled an election ahead
(I) fire back with a line so clever
(Our) mutually assured “whatever”
(We), fatigued but relieved when lines are over

Waves on the shoreline or tires on the road? Disbelieve my suspension
Like kids who'd pretend to travel to the 4th dimension
And we'd play so cautious, we were wary
Now we'd laugh and say, “It was just time”
As though that isn't scary
The party's lousy with humans and I just missed my turn
Remains unclear how the moon works but I am going to learn
And we'd play so cautious, we were wary
Now we'd laugh and say, “It was just time”
As though that isn't scary
Who's for going out, and who's for forgoing going?
Putting a thing to a vote is not the same as knowing

No illusion of a future
A door that’s shut on one side only
The confidence without delusion
The loss without despair
The worth without dollars
The work without duty
The spirit without deity

Throwing my hat in the contest
Losing an arm in the process
This painful lighting isn't helping my self-image
We're too young for leagues, and I just want a scrimmage
These spacious aisles, seeming without reaches
This specious trial, my words won't fully thicken
To ones so sure I've nothing on offer:
Come watch me put away fried chicken
Playback on repeat
Shutter self-disbelief
Until “unless / until” ravels me
Change of pace confounds this
Pride of place maybe a bit less groundless
Playback on repeat
Shutter self-disbelief
Until “unless / until” ravels me

Le Weekend Chapel Hill, North Carolina
Le Weekend is a progressive-minded, skewed-pop-leaning, hyphen-employing rock band from Chapel Hill NC, est. 2006. It faithfully and exuberantly generates the sound of itself playing Le Weekend music. It knows a little about a lot of things, and something about the value in hiding and showing. The rest it kind of fakes, but you could totally have fun with it. ... more

No words to describe this. I believe if you like Spirit of the Beehive, you will like this band. Other highlights are Plants, And Again and Pretty Sure. So much good music out there.
