lyrics

I remember how we looked at the embryo in the jar together

And I remember how we stood talking in the store to each other

It was love

But what is it now

It's pain

I remember your face and I remember your grace

I remember, I remember, I just remember

And I remember how we laughed at the jokes that we had between us

And I remember how we talked and mocked each other blatantly

It was fun

But what is it now

It's pain

And I remember how you smiled

And that light that was in your eyes

And I remember how pretty you were always a pleasant surprise

It was nice

But what is it now

It's pain

I remember your face and I remember your grace

I remember, I remember, I just remember

And I remember you at the funeral shaking hands and hanging coats

And I remember you standing pregnant at the art room

It was weird

But what is it now

It's pain

I remember your face and I remember your grace

As usual, Kirby manipulates various interwar records to fit a cavalcade of emotional states: blissful (B1, E8), tragic (D2, D5), frantic (E1, E6), and just plain horrifying (F3, G1, H1, K1). gjoe52

Is it wicked not to care? Frances Chang's layered, strange experimental pop recalls Lisa Germano in its pursuit of meaning in a sad world. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 2, 2022
