new every morning

another demo of “mars over sea,” another month into progress (last demo).

today luke added accordion, and a few weeks ago adam laid down banjo.

this version has more updated lyrics with some harmonies, and also contains all four verses instead of just the first two.

updated words:

i hate wires, bug, i learn to use them
you’ve broken my bones next to the kitchen
mars is over the sea

two years ago, bug, i sat in space
rocking chair in hughes, lonesome blue egg
mars is over the sea

this song would be, fellow hollow again
but it won’t be me, won’t be me, won’t that not be me again?
mars is over the sea

too many miles, and itches from the kitchen sink
half-grand a month for two fonds in one piece
mars is over the sea

each time we record a new instrument it seems it starts to take a different route altogether, which is great in my opinion - mars is coming together! so much joy to hear these songs develop each day, every time someone else jumps in. it’s the greatest blessing, it’s not something i’d trade.

also check our first single from the forthcoming album, called “the colours i earned,” and feel free to download it from bandcamp.
