I work so hard to write my songs
Never knowing if anyone will hear them anyway
Will you hear what I have to say
I take my time and make them rhyme
Day after day
The melody and the harmony
Come together for your pleasure naturally, sincerely
So please add me to your record collection
I hope to elicit a positive reaction
My only wish is to make you smile
So take me out and play me once in a while
Won’t you, won’t you, please
I take my time and make them rhyme
Day after day
The melody and the harmony
Come together for your pleasure naturally, sincerely
So please add me to your record collection
And give me your complete aural inspection
My only wish is to make you smile
So take me out and play me once in a while
Won’t you, won’t you
Please add me to your record collection
I’m making music for your satisfaction
So please add me to your record collection
There’s no better way for us to make a connection
Please add me to your record collection

The Mystic's Mistake
04:02
|
|||
|
They got it wrong it seems
Another false prophet with wily dreams
I took a chance and fell
Into the great fires of burning hell
Grieving, I am seething
I was misled by the one who knows all
Regrets have no secrets
I was fed to the hungry lions of temptation
And it was a shame to discover
That love was fake
And I was a fool to have fallen
For the mystic’s mistake
The mystic’s mistake
Misfortune followed me
From out of the lifeboat on stormy seas
I took advice to heart
A mock invitation that fell apart
Grieving, I am seething
I was misled by the one who knows all
Regrets have no secrets
I was fed to the hungry lions of temptation, temptation
It was so hard to recover
And not forsake
Though I was a fool to have fallen
It was a shame to discover
That love was fake
And I was a fool to have fallen
For the mystic’s mistake
The mystic’s mistake

Along With You
04:35

|
Your sound is clear
Your world sublime
The voice I hear
Suspends all time
If anybody doubts you
You show them right from wrong
And take away their sadness with a song
Along with you (sing a song)
Along with you (sing a song)
A song to sing along with you
The piper calls
From quiet space
A siren falls
But not from grace
If anybody doubts you
You show them right from wrong
And take away their sadness with a song
Along with you (sing a song)
Along with you (sing a song)
A song to sing along with you
Sing a song
Along with you (sing a song)

High as the rising sun
We have just begun to live again
Why did we take so long
To realize the wrong we’ve done and make it right
I know where we’ve been and I won’t go back there
Everything is different now
If you don’t believe me take one look into my eyes
Round and round the sun we go
Where we stop we’ll never know
If we fall or if we sin
We’ll get right back up again
High as the rising sun
We have just begun to live again
Why did we take so long
To realize the wrong we’ve done and make it right
Cuz I know where we’ve been and I won’t go back there
Everything is different now
If you don’t believe me take one look into my eyes
Round and round the sun we go
Where we stop we’ll never know
If we fall or if we sin
We’ll get right back up again
High as the rising sun
We have just begun to live again
High as the rising sun
We have just begun to live again
High as the rising sun (round and round the sun we go)
We have just begun to live again

Too Soon Was Yesterday
04:27
|
|||
|
Never thought to settle down
Until I saw your picture in my mind
I used to run around
Searching for new thrills I might find
I crossed your heart and I let you down
You said goodbye and got out of town
And I try to forget
Yes I try to forget, because
Too soon, too soon was yesterday
Too soon, too soon was yesterday
Cuz yesterday was the day you went away
I didn’t have an alibi
Only the sad expression on my face
It was a thin disguise
Hiding a hurt I can’t erase
I had my chance to make it right
Now it’s only me and the candlelight
And I try to forget
Yes I try to forget, because
Too soon, too soon was yesterday
Too soon, too soon was yesterday
Cuz yesterday was the day you went away
Too soon, too soon was yesterday

40 Below

She has a way of going cold
Getting old, before her time
All of the joy that kept her warm
Through the storm, has blown away
I’m getting chilled to the bone in her atmosphere
What can I do
Gotta find a way around her deep deep freeze
Oh help me please, tell me why
She’s so cold, she’s 40 below
Turning hearts to ice, tears to snow
She’s so cold, she’s 40 below
Turning hearts to ice, tears to snow
When she was young her eyes would smile
For a while, like any child
Then life became too much to hold
Bought and sold in her prime
I’m getting chilled to the bone in her atmosphere
What can I do
Gotta find a way around her deep deep freeze
Oh help me please, tell me why
She’s so cold, she’s 40 below
Turning hearts to ice, tears to snow
She’s so cold, she’s 40 below
Turning hearts to ice, tears to snow
I’m getting chilled to the bone in her atmosphere
What can I do
Gotta find a way around her deep deep freeze
Oh help me please, tell me why
She’s so cold, she’s 40 below
Turning hearts to ice, tears to snow
She’s so cold, she’s 40 below
Turning hearts to ice, tears to snow
She’s so cold

What If I Found You

So tell me how this happened
You shining star
No matter where you wander
You’re never far
What if I found you
Far from home
What if I found you
Here today
What if I found you
In my arms tonight, how would it feel
Your brilliant mind is showing
Born to entice
Come back and start your glowing
Won’t that be nice
What if I found you
Far from home
What if I found you
Here today
What if I found you
In my arms tonight, how would it feel
How would it feel
How would it feel (what if I found you)

As You Are
01:55

|
One for the colors you made
Two for the clouds in the sky
Three was the price that you paid
For all the reasons why
Good times come and then they go
But you will always stay as you are, you are
Bright are the stars as they shine
Raindrops will hide all the tears
Ripe was the fruit on the vine
Gone are the crucible years
Good times come and then they go
But you will always stay as you are
You are, you are, you are
As you are

A Sadness In Sorry
03:17
|
|||
|
Don’t tell me if you’re sorry
When you know you know you know it’s not your fault
Mistakes we didn’t foresee
But we tried and tried and tried so who’s to blame
There’s a sadness in sorry
When you can’t say it, but you want to
And you are feeling regretful all the same
There’s a sadness in sorry
Kept at the distance in between us
Though we are lucky to have lived through all the pain
Forgiveness stills the sorrow
But will never never never right the wrong
As meaning turns to mourning
We go on and on and on and don’t look back
There’s a sadness in sorry
When you can’t say it, but you want to
And you are feeling regretful all the same
There’s a sadness in sorry
Kept at the distance in between us
Though we are lucky to have lived through all the pain
So sad to end so soon
We had to run to run to run away
So sad to end this way
We had to run to run to run away

Let us all find peace
Wherever it may be
Let us not give in
To the pain that others bring us
Let us all find
Peace in our mind
Keeping us whole
Peace in our soul
Ending all strife
Peace in our life
Free and alone
Peace in our home
Let us all find peace
Let us all find
Peace in our mind
Keeping us whole
Peace in our soul
Ending all strife
Peace in our life
Free and alone
Peace in our home
Let us all find peace

A contender for best pop-rock album of 2019. Will Pitchfork and hipsters of their ilk ever take notice of The Rallies and the many artists who do not benefit from the hype that they create around far less talented musicians?

Sad Sounds of the Summer - deluxe edition
by Chris Richards and the Subtractions
supported by 4 fans who also own “Record Collection”
Power pop is a pretty formulaic genre -- a glorious formula, but still, predictable enough that lots and lots of bands can pull off a "perfect" blend of melody, harmony, jangle and crunch a time or two in the course of their careers. But I can't name another record that hits the magic spot EVERY SINGLE TRACK. This is so f$%#ing good.

Tamar Berk's effortlessly hooky power-pop arrives with as much bright polish as it does effervescent energy.

Tamar Berk pairs trenchant autobiographical lyrics with brittle guitars for songs that will win over fans of early Liz Phair.

Supercalifragile

Listening to this really reminds me how much I miss Scott Miller. This is brilliant stuff, and it should have been the beginning of Game Theory's second chapter. As it is, I'm just grateful it exists.
