1. lyrics to "living again" ep

   “living again” (reyes)

   we’re walking in the sun
   we’ve only just begun
   to know just what it’s like
   to make each other feel so right

   to give yourself
   a chance to help
   feels like living again
   i feel like living again

   i tell myself to try
   to simply memorize
   the moment before it’s past
   because miracles they never last

   it all gets real
   when you start to feel
   like living again
   i feel like living again

   “innocence, in a sense” (odie)

   it's been fun
   can we just leave it at that?
   the time has come
   for this idle and wanton deport is coquettish
   it's been done and far more sweeter than that
   so keep it on and when you're older much older we'll try
   don't you remember tomorrow's been here for so long
   it's no longer awake?
   "black day and stormy nights, no love and no hope in sight" for days on end
   persevere and rise on up with the sun
   vacillate and hear the sound of an empty reply

   light that is on its way in unpronounceable years in light years
   brings death in a figurative sense
   to start all over is to start or roll over in a sense
   time wasted on negativeness is long winded tales of innocence
   in essence

   “modulating from montana” (sanden)

   modulating from montana
   i can’t hear you too good
   you’re talking while you’re fading out
   the western states are leading the lost ones

   oh my julie
   i won’t let you fade out
   oh sweet julie
   i won’t let you fade out

   like the hippies now all gone
   you’d lay your hat for a home
   travelin’ whisperin’
   you’ve got two fingers there for a comb

   oh my julie
   i won’t let you fade out
   oh sweet julie
   i won’t let you fade out

   antenna strung my fingers rung
   this electric net poised for a catch
   head phones on tubes are warm
   but your signal falls below the noise

   oh my julie
   i won’t let you fade out
   oh sweet julie
   i won’t let you fade out

   
   “in love” (sanden)

   watch the girl blowin’ candles out
   presents swirl that’s what she’s about
   keep it secret it’s a no-no
   something real she wanted it to grow
   the feeling of falling the pull from below
   it’s dangerous in love
   in love

   i can’t think about anything i want to
   the look of her eyes
   has weakened me it’s wrecked me
   i’m sick so sick

   do what you will: pink, red, and blue
   believe me I want you to
   the devil finds her emergency
   feeling cruel pulling apart
   you whisper to me, “well i don’t know my heart”
   it’s poisonous in love
   in love

   i can’t think about anything i want to
   the look in her eyes
   has weakened me it’s wrecked me
   i’m sick so sick

   in love in love
   when you’re sick you feel so low
   oh in love in love
   so you whisper, “closer closer”
   you come so far
   feel the devil beat inside your heart
   but she’s not in love
   no certainly not in love

   “frost heaves” (sanden)

   don’t go
   it’s cold outside it’s suicide
   twenty below
   when i need you here i need you near me

   frost heaves on the road it means we flipped
   hanging down from our belts

   oh no
   well I think we’re here my wife my dear
   oh shit
   i lost control back in the ditch

   frost heaves on the road it leaves us lost
   not to us you say but then we’re tossed like a toy in the snow

   glaciers pushing
   icy lies from a heated past
   i say it’s only a bump in the road

   darlin’ it’s a slippery slope
   i’m downslidin’
   please i’m getting old i’m getting older
   oh no
   the drifts are piled the metaphor gets meaner
   cut the rope we’re plunging down
   it gets deeper

   frost heaves on the road it leaves us lost
   not to us you say but then we’re tossed like a toy in the snow

   “all the sundays” (reyes)

   it feels like all the sundays in the world
   if feels like all the sundays in the world
   when you're gone

   that dreaded sunday feeling's
   coming on
   the whole weight of the world
   keeps pressing down

   it feels like all the sundays in the world
   it feels like all the sundays in the world
   when you're gone

   there's clouds to keep the sun from shining bright
   not a soul to tell my troubles to tonight

   and all you have to do is smile
   and every living thing will bask
   in the sun of your eyes

   it feels like all the sundays in the world
   it feels like all the sundays in the world
   when you're gone

3. Erik Sanden on the Pixies' Doolittle

   Erik talks about one of his most influential albums, the Pixies Doolitle on KUT's On the Record audio blog. To most the Pixies might seem far removed from Buttercup's music, but Erik explains why this band has influenced him and his songwriting. He disects the album a bit, and explains how he was stuck listening to it (and only it) for a fortnight and then some. Check it out, and what some other musicians pick as their most influential records.
