Is That Important?
03:05
|
|||
|
Don't have a thing to share
I won't even comb my hair
But in our room so nice
This screwed up life and I sit down
Is that important?
I blow the goodbye test
And note that all my friends
Will use this time for sleep
They know that talk is cheap
But I know the words you say
Cost more than we could pay
Why leave on today?
I'm sure these passing days won't try to leave
(The sidewalks gone)
There's a chance in hell, it seems
A chance besides the fact we've seen
Where she says,
"Why? Why leave on today?
Why leave on today?"
Got a chance if all agree and she says,
"Trust. Yeah, there is trust in what we say"

Song Seven

So far I'd say tonight just takes too long
You've got the time to be so strange
I take their side and blame the day for luck
You never know how things might change
I said that's all
I mean, there came this time
To realize what I should do
And all the years the water brings me by
To see the start and see that's you

Kinda Stoned
04:04
|
|||
|
Time and pills,
Let's waste a year
The phone is tuned,
The way is clear
There's some less sure
Of hate and love,
And some can say
Where everyone
Fits in
Try and see,
The words feel dry
The morning breathes,
The evening dies
It's not like all
Can walk on through
It's more just luck
That makes you choose
A side
(C'mon)
Everybody's kinda stoned
More distance
Come on
Everybody's kinda stoned
More distance
Come on
Everybody's kinda stoned
Everybody's kinda stoned
Everybody's kinda stoned
Everybody's kinda stoned
Kinda Stoned

Don't Give
04:08
|

|
All my intuition fails me
You want my answer?
"It's time to worry"
'cause I don't give a fuck
About slowly changing luck
Yeah, I'd love to win you over
My eyes in heaven, my balls in clover
I might sleep for less time
But I'd stay in this life
The less I give up, the more I hurry
Full confession confirms your story
And I love this town
And I love this town
And I love this town
I must sleep for less time
And I love this town

Smile My Friend
03:28
|

|
I've been awake so long
I hear them start
Please be sure my friends
I still won't try
(Blessed the times, the restless times
They'll drift away, like mine today)
It's been on both our minds,
They said you called
(Every lie must be put to good use)
Find a way come south,
The road is smooth
(The less I change the more that you'll have to)
Then she would talk me down
I love my problems deep,
And here you are
(Maybe the sunrise will come too)
Dead before my eyes,
And all them stars
(A stupid smile almost all the way through)
Then she would talk me down

Forget About Jesus
04:16
|
|||
|
Where she stands
Where she sits
Water, life, and grace in their hands
Who you gonna listen to
If it's only just a smile?
Thank God for sin to show the way
Where she lies,
Where she waits
There's an act of grace in their eyes
Who are you going to listen to
If it's only just a smile?
Thank God for sin to show the way
Stay a little lonely this time,
Stay a little longer this time

Here It Is

Let's say flotation suits me fine
Don't need that ending till it's time
And even when the choice is mine,
I want your stale-bread scent
Won't face that same old sleep tonight,
I need to swing out till it's tight
And what I'm choosing is the right,
To fight like all my friends
I'm never going east
Until they give the missing reasons
Get to play another waster,
Come to turn these offers down
If you say we're wrong,
Then I guess we're wrong
Here it is and it's waiting for the...

You're So Right
04:53
|
|||
|
You're so right
Tie off our saviour to be sure
You're so right
Whatever's said,
Don't take too long
And every time we rate your star
It looks so dim, it seems so far
"That just depends on where you are"
I'm getting off but you go on
It's okay
We are the same,
I fooled you too
You're so right
This is the sign of what you want
And every time the rates are low
I'm not the same, thought you should know
Could I pretend it does not show?
Yes. I'm getting tired but you go on
Kind of had this fear
But you were always there in time
When we should go

Fine Day Coming
04:56
|

|
Fine days is coming
Everybody's leaving
'cause they're taught to decide
and every sun tries
Fine days is coming
Bet you don't know when the start comes
Everybody's leaving
Says you're strong in your head
Everybody wants to share the power,
You know, it's how you shoot the day

(It's Time to) Move On

Under the brave, wise talk
Under the crap we've bought
Under the love that's not
Under the weight of God
Everything moves on

IS THAT IMPORTANT?
Don't have a thing to share, don't even comb my hair
But now our room's so nice, this screwed up life and I
Sit down
So now, I blow the goodbye test
And note that all my friends will use this time for sleep
They know that a talk is cheap
But I know the words you say cost more than we could pay
Why leave on today?
These passing days won't try to leave
Sidewalks are gone
There's a chance in hell, it seems
Chance besides the fact we've seen
Where she says, "Why? Why leave on today?"
Got a chance if all is great and she says, "Trust"
Yeah, there's trust
In what we say

Tonight just takes too long
You've got the time to be so strange

Everybody wants to share the power
You know, it's how you shoot the birds
MOVE ON

Under the crap we've bought
Under the love that's not
Under the weight of God
Everything moves on

Swell San Francisco, California
With the release of 41 (1994), Swell capped off a trilogy that began, with their self-titled debut (1990), followed by Well (1992). All three albums share a birthplace in SF, at 41 Turk St., Tenderloin District. The music is both moody and exquisitely beautiful, w/ layered songwriting & vocals that are hauntingly persistent. Three decades later, the album's allure hasn't faded in the slightest. ... more

The production choices (and perhaps prevailing influence(s) of the time) date this a bit more where the other albums FEEL more timeless. This legit sounds like Bill Laswell or Real World produced it and that's both good and occasionally excessive in the context of a PMW recording. Trying new things make it a fascinating listen, but for me over-produced & significant level of intimacy is lost. If you have Fête Foraine (and you should have it), you may understand my opinion.
