lyrics

Do you remember that time when I cut my finger?
So you played the chords and I was the singer, oh
Then there was that time when you couldn't sleep
When a couple of nights turned to uncountable weeks, oh
Like a deer at the end of a barrel, I steadied my breathing Only to be betrayed by my thundering heartbeat
Afraid I would wake you with my affection for living
It filled up my chest to the point of exploding
Do you remember that time when I thought music could heal ya? But you thought I'd sound better if I sang like Ophelia, oh
Where you'd cry out your story, tragic and deceitful
Wrapped tight in your arms, so loving and lethal, oh
You stand at the edge of the world, lost in the Atlantic With the end of the sun spotlighting your shipwreck
All while trapped in a bottle on your grandfather's mantle Where history says you're not done with his battles
Do you remember that time when our wills were broken They split and they spilled out like oil in the ocean

One of my most played country albums of 2020. Was supposed to see him live and well you all know what happened there unfortunately. Finally remembered to grab the vinyl here on bandcamp to hear these righteous tunes gathered round the old turntable. What a fun, genuine album. Bucky

The instrumentation and songwriting in this album is really top-tier. Aofie is one of my favorite folk/alt-country artists and she performs wonderfully, bringing her unique tone of voice to this project. This album was my first step into Aofie's artistry, and is firmly one of my favorite albums. rileyridgway
