Listened to the Stars album “Set Yourself On Fire”. Thought the first two tracks were good but the rest of the album descended into “blah blah blah” noise fairly fast. People compared them to Arcade Fire, nah, don’t think so. Anyway, Joe reminded me to listen to the last track again, called Calendar Girl. That could actually be the best track on the album. Good choice sir. Kind of has a dark twist to it too.
If I am lost for a day; try and find me
But if I don’t come back, then I won’t look behind me
All of the things that I thought were so easy
Just got harder and harder each day
December is the darkest and June is the light but this empty bedroom won’t make anything right
While out on the landing a friend I forgot to send home
Who waits up for me all through the night
Calendar girl whos in love with the world Stay alive
Calendar Girl whos in love with the world Stay alive
I dreamed I was dying; as I so often do
And when I awoke I was sure it was true
I ran to the window; threw my head to the sky
And said whoever is up there,please don’t let me die
But I can’t live forever,I can’t always breath
One day I’ll be sand on a beach by a sea
The pages keep turning, I’ll mark off each day with a cross
And I’ll laugh about all that we’ve lost
Calendar Girl who is lost to the world
Stay Alive
Calendar Girl who is lost to the world Stay Alive
January,February,March,April,May I’m alive
June,July,August,September,October I’m alive
November,December,yah all through the winter, I’m alive
I’m alive
