Never found a place I felt quite home,
Maybe I’ve been going about it wrong,
Tried to find the right climate, and furniture, and floors,
Never gave a thought to who might meet me at the door…
Maybe I’ve been too much alone,
Been going about this life all wrong,
Is it in my nature, or does habit drive the force,
Keeps me running endlessly on down this lonely course?
I won’t fall prey to your propaganda,
I know full well my pattern clashes with the rest,
Won’t cut my feet to fit the shoes that you deem finer,
Won’t hear a “no” when my heart is singing “yes…”
Doubt is the prison of my mind,
I know my heart is steering blind,
How many of the wants I have are born from my desires,
And which come from the outside world, the trash I see, falls into me, it fuels my fire.
I won’t fall prey to your propaganda,
I know full well my patter clashes with the rest,
Won’t cut my feet to fit the shoes that you deem finer,
Won’t hear a “no” when my heart is screaming “yes…” (Yes, yes…)
Maybe I’ve been too much alone…
Been going about this life all wrong…

When singers harmonize—when their voices consume them and fuse into a new whole—something blooms in them: a kind of bliss, a kind of madness. Bradford King and Meghan Sinoff follow this sensation into territory both eccentric and melodic.
If you have a fondness for expertly wrought roots-rock with sharp lyrics and aching vocals, look no further—“Strangers” is for you. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 8, 2022
