lyrics

Alas, I’m uncovered
And pulled upward by the sun
Pulled upward by the sun

Anastasia, will I see you when I fall
Out of late April skies or early May
If the wind won’t change direction again
I tower six miles away
Suspended over apartments
In New York City
Swooping past airplanes to JFK

And they’re wings slice the clouds
I falter last in line for all those going down
For all those going down

I fear all I am is someone else’s tears
They’ve been holding back with sniffles and red cheeks
Until they’ve hit their peak
And I come falling down
Like the sky has sprung a leak over this town

Nimbostratus yells at me
“Hey what are you doing?
You should be leaving.”
“Well I can’t seem to let go.
I just want to stay here till September.”
He thunders me off with the last of his temper
And half a minute seems like forever
Of me spiraling down
And two meters from the ground is the last time nothing is what I feel
Until I splatter on the windshield sliding down
On the windshield sliding down

I fear all I am is someone else’s tears
They’ve been holding back with sniffles and red cheeks
Until they’ve hit their peak
And I come falling down
In the backseat a child stares
Amused at my death
And I see him press his face
On the glass I’m sliding down
‘Till it’s fogged by his breath all around

Randy's Got a Playdough Face image

Randy's Got a Playdough Face Queens, New York

Having almost always recorded in a full band setting, Randy has allowed every instrument to mature with each release using influences that lend to the indie rock sweethearts like Death Cab for Cutie, Wilco, Modest Mouse, Slint, Sunny Day Real Estate, R.E.M.

Randy has a heavy focus on the “album” format, long chord progressions, and suspending song structures.

Thanks for being here. ... more
