River Flows 05:04
HOW THE RIVER FLOWS 20 YEARS HAVE GONE NOW SINCE I LET YOU GO STRIDING THROUGH THE GRASS, WORN OUT SANDALS BLISTERS AND THE BROKEN GLASS. FINDING NEW WAYS TO LOSE TRYING TO MAKE THE BEST OUT OF ALL THE BAD NEWS. AND AS THE WATER SWELLS WITH ROLLERCOASTER LOVE I WOULD BELIEVE IN YOU AND LAUGH AT JOKES YOU MAKE IN THAT DARK WAY YOU DO. ROUND YOUR LASSO LED ME NOWHERE BUT THE EDGES OF THE OCEAN MAKING LOVE WITHOUT CAUTION BENEATH THE PATIENCE OF THE MOONLIT SKY TOO TOUGH TO CRY, AND I WAITED FOR YOU ON THAT SATURDAY AND I WAITED FOR YOU TO ROW US BOTH AWAY AND I WAITED FOR ANOTHER SUMMERS DAY AND I WOULD’VE LOVED TO STAY. AND ALL THE INTERLUDES OF SOMETHING TRUE LED ME THE WRONG WAY HOME HOW THE TIME GOES MEMORIES ARE STORED IN SECTIONS HIGHS TO LOW SILENTLY HOLDING ON, TRYING TO STAY STRONG AMONGST THE WHISPERING. BEHING MY BACK YOU STOOD, LAUGHING AT THE THINGS THAT I MISUNDERSTOOD AND AS THE WATER FLOWED THE OARS OF MY MIND STEERED ME, ALTHOUGH THE CURRENT TRIED TO PULL ME UNDER SOMETIMES, SOMEHOW I SAILED THROUGH. ROUND YOUR FINGER LEADING ME IN CIRCLES OF YOUR CHOOSING. WITH A SIDE EYE TO THE GALLOWS YOU SHOWED YOURSELF AS SHALLOW AS THEY SAID YOU WERE. A DRUNKEN SLUR AND I WAITED FOR YOU ON THAT SATURDAY AND I WAITED FOR YOU TO ROW US BOTH AWAY AND I WAITED FOR ANOTHER SUMMERS DAY AND I WOULD’VE LOVED TO STAY. AND ALL THE INTERLUDES OF SOMETHING TRUE LED ME THE WRONG WAY HOME

As we go through the loneliness We wait and watch for the break of day The telephone calls see us though Until August comes into view I’ve never Had Enough of you And now I crave you Summer. I never see you Through cold and grey Cause I am always So warm with you. Why Must I wait so long There’s been no sun Since you. But until then I’ll smile at Rain.

DEBATING WHO SENT MESSAGES THE FIRST TO WALK THE PRECIPICE I WANTED TO KNOW YOUR NAME. SPIRALLING TOWARDS THE SUN A KISS OF LIFE THAT MADE ME YOUNG AND SAD EYES COULD SEE AGAIN. AND I WONDERED. AND I WANTED TO BE LYING UPSIDE DOWN. ON A SUNDAY IN A WARM DREY IN A FAR DISTANT SEASIDE TOWN PUZZLE PIECES, QUENCHED RELEASES. AND POEMS THAT ARE READ ALOUD. THOUGHTFUL PAPER DEMONSTRATES HER NURTURING OF SECRETS FOUND SINGING TO THE ATMOSPHERE ALONE BUT SOMEHOW FULL OF CHEER AND LONGING TO SEE YOUR ROOM PRESSED FLOWERS ARE FORGET ME KNOTS. NO NEED TO PROVE WHO CALLS THE SHOTS. CAUSE LAUGHTER ALWAYS RESUMES AND I’M WANTING AND IM WAITING TO BE LYING UPSIDE DOWN. ON A SUNDAY IN A WARM DREY IN A FAR DISTANT SEASIDE TOWN WORDS THAT DON’T STICK IN MY THROAT EVERYTHING DONE IS BY REMOTE YOU’RE ALWAYS A DAY AHEAD (Wanting, Waiting)

about

Shrewsbury psychedelic bard Joseph Cave is pleased to announce the release of The Garden EP, the first in a series of somewhat thematically minded extended play recordings to be released over the forthcoming year. As gathered by its title, The Garden EP’s focus is on more pastoral sounds. Kicking off with the gentle groove of “River Flows,” Cave offers up a beautiful but heartbreaking tale of the saddest Saturday a hopeless romantic could experience. The gritty “Summer (Enough Of You)” follows, with a haunted groove that is reminiscent of Screaming Trees. “Grover Groove” offers up an interesting first foray into Smooth instrumental music, while “Garden (All Flow)” concludes on a psychedelic choral note.
The Garden EP is a delightful listen; fans of Gorkys Zygotic Mynci, Alfie, XTC, and Animal Collective will find something to love in this garden of sonic delights.
