lyrics

You, you are the pitch-bending sound of an ambulance siren fading away.

You are a postcard from South Africa,
The rumble of a southbound train,
A highway sign obscured by trees,
Tomorrow, in a moment, but never today.

And I, I am the wind that has blown everywhere and brings you its latest bouquet.

I am the wildflowers of Connemara,
The salt of the San Sebastian Bay,
The crystalline alpine snow,
The dancing smoke from a Chesterfield
Blowing your way.

You go one way, I’ll go the other
And if we stay on the straight and narrow
I’ll meet you on the
Other side of the world
Unless one of us turns at the sound of anything . . .

Of anything, anything
Anything, anything.

And we, we are the pedals on a bicycle that never meet but circle the same way.

We are letters posted Charing Cross,
The Grand Canal and Venice Beach,
The two statues of liberty,
The sun watching the moon as she steals the light from the day.

You go one way, I’ll go the other
And if we stay on the straight and narrow
I’ll meet you on the
Other side of the world
Unless one of us turns at the sound of anything . . .

Who will turn first?

On The Charm of Abstraction, Lanahan abandons guitar for mesmerizing synths, intricately programmed beats, imaginative sampling, and occasional rhymes. Even with a new sound, his core songwriting voice--“melodic and lyrical invention,” “chilling chord progressions,” “rare honesty and power"- remains. ... more
