I'm leaning into the wind as hard as I can, just a whoosh in my ears. I can't jump into the sea because I want to know what happens, what happens to Remember Karen.

about
First single from our debut album, What You Say and What You Mean.
Imagined weekend trips to the valley recounted in a lilting pop number.
lyrics
In the beginning
it was downhill from there
now i'm mining your quarry
maybe we'll meet in the square
it's just raw material
for cliff-hanging serials
the titles looked beautiful
i couldn't proceed
i'll be a coal mine
a ship in your fleet
hoping for end-times
i thought about it all week
you and your afternoon waking life
there in modesto
you were so unimpressed-o
whose green remembered hills
iceland and fire drills
speed heals slow kills
keep that in mind
