lyrics
Situation Station
Itʼs days like this in autumn when the air it starts to cool
All the leaves are fallen and the children were at school
Swaying down the sidewalk people used to say hello
One of many pastimes that the future will not know
Every evening windinʼ down so unequivocally
Not a care to cloud the sky thatʼs how itʼs supposed to be
Sitting shotgun looking toward the ride of mystery
Station wagon Subaru my brother sis and me
Was it happiness or just a smile for mom and dad
Were those the best days that I never really had
Pressure from the atmosphere has built up over time
Troubled by the muffled voice of good ol father truth
Never has there ever been a place for me to hide
Situation station and Iʼm waiting for a ride
I miss those days
I miss those days
Riding around look what I found
A reason to believe in today
Oh I miss those days
I miss those days
Riding around look what I found
A reason to believe in today
Yea yea yea yea yea yea
Yea I miss those days
I miss those days
Riding around look what I found
A reason to believe in today
To believe in today
(Ah)
I need a reason
I need a reason
Yea I need a reason
I need a reason
Yea I need a reason
I need a reason
I need a reason
I need a reason

This album: wow. It's perfect--not just because of the wonderfully grounded-in-the-quotidian but also numinous lyrics. Not just because of the gorgeous and musically meaningful arrangements or the superb artistry. Perfect also because it miraculously captures our individual and national grief, dread, and, maybe, hope-- or at least the sun on a hazelnut tree. A work of art from a humane artist who is an compassionate and careful observer of our time and place. Thank you! marymcd
