I can actually feel myself shake in excitement for this record. But don’t worry about it.
Youngs - thenewyorkapartment song. Reminds me a little of Tom’s Diner. Only a little. The beat to this is sick. Listen to that bass line. Tuscillo is on form.

Bricks - Jenny Owen Youngs
There’s bricks in the yard
FallingFallen where they flew,
I’m sure mom and dad
Wont give asitchsearch for one or two.Building no hagards that travel left to rest.
Abandoned in the high grass, the trowel’s left to rust.
Building is better but breaking is easy and I dont know which to trust.
I think there must be something wrong with me.
Like thepathpot that goes unwatched among the very finest edge,
My eyesare all wideroll white and my stomach descends.
And I’ll do whatver you say,
I’ll say whatever you want
If you just put that away
If you just perish that thought.
Why can’t we be a normal family?
And I’ll count my footsteps across the garden stones,
The faintest love glides six above cement and rust and bones.
And I’ll gather my eggshells softly I guess till I have enough to fill up the nestyou’re onoh
I’ll draw up the blue prints but I’ll never use them.
Now I’ve only ever offered you myself and you always say it’s not enough.
Pray for your paralysis while I’mcoatingcourting for your touch.
And I’ll do whatever you say
I will say whatever you want
If you just put that away
If you just perish that thought
Oh you talk about violence like it doesnt exsist
Like a fire is a womb,
And a womb is a fist.
And I’ll bendwithforthee?! with relief
When your tongue comes unglued
But I’ll seize up inside
If your mouth says it’s true.
Don’t you wanna be a normal family?
A normal family.
I’m a steel wall
I don’t want to see anything at all.
I’m a steel wall
I don’tneedmean to feel anything at all.
I don’t want to see anything, and i don’tneedmean to feel anything,
And i don’t want to know anything at allLYRIC SITES ARE TERRIBLE. HALF OF THIS DOESN’T EVEN MAKE SENSE. BEHOLD MY EDITS.
Jenny doesn’t like wrong lyrics

Way back before the release of Batten the Hatches, before “Hot in Herre” was even a twinkle in my eye, my go-to Top 40 cover was Kelly Clarkson’s “Since U Been Gone.”
I found this old recording while sorting through CDs in preparation to move and thought “Let them eat cake/download this for free/engage in indulgent activity of their choice.” Sooo from my archive to your hard drive. Click on the picture to get something for nothing!
One reblogger of this post is getting a postcard in the mail from me! Winner on Friday! Wooooo!
