Some things never get old
Some things never feel new
Some stories never get told
No matter
What you do
It’s times like these that worry me
It’s times like those I miss
It’s times like these that shouldn’t be
Yet these times still exist
I don’t spend time thinking about what coulda been
And I’ll never know what will be
It’s enough just handling the state I’m in
Trying to get shade from a dying tree
It isn’t what it once was
But it ain’t much better
People still shouting from the rooftops
Hammers breaking chains but the minds still fettered
They’re opening with Kings Gambit
Time to decline or take the Pawn
Can’t rely on the dark square bishop
He just got hung on the castle lawn
You can’t listen when no one’s talking
You can’t speak when you got no voice
You can’t see when there’s no clarity
You can’t choose when you got no choice
I know it sucks feeling burned out
I know it sucks feeling helpless
I know it sucks when you’re running with no place to go
You feel stuck but were gonna get through this
When you're in the minority
Your words don’t seem to count
Just sit back and defer to authority
The Legend grows with each account
I must admit, half of me wants this
But the other half don’t
Dichotomy is my existence
Sink the ship so we all can float
Now nothing really makes sense
But we still reap what we sow
Irresponsibility, greed and misery
How do you make your garden grow
I know it sucks feeling burned out
I know it sucks feeling helpless
And it sucks to say I told you so
And it sucks that they’re gonna shelf this

Carry me Kerry is a true gem a rainbow if you will. This album hits hard, robs enthrallment with the process translates genuinely. Off the charts, my #1 release of the year so far will be nearly imposible to top. Louis D.
Smooth, sophisticated pop with neoclassical flourishes from the Berlin-based duo of Fabian Till and Birk Buttcherey. Bandcamp New & Notable May 2, 2024
