lyrics

Before I go to bed
I think of my second head
It fell off one day
And faded away

Reminds me of the fetus of the conjoined twins
That I saw conserved in a museum
Mmm

And I think I stayed and stared at them for a little too long
Before moving on to the skeleton
Of a blue whale
And I opened my lunch box in there

But you were not supposed to eat or drink
Inside the skeleton
So they kicked us out and said “go eat in the park”
I went out there with my best friend
This is where I lost a second head

She told me she was moving away
While we were having lunch
Surrounded by squirrels and lame children
I looked around
And I thought
“Who shall I befriend,
When I don’t like a single one of them?”
And I felt lonely for a year or two
Ooh

Was this your first time in the city?
Could’ve been my first time in the city
Was this your first time feeling lonely?
Could’ve been my first time feeling lonely

And now I find myself in the city most of my time
And I find myself feeling lonely from time to time

We decided to start a band
We wrote each other letters with lyrics in them
But we were seven and the lyrics, they obviously sucked
And we never had any intention to ever meet up and play
Not even once

IT WAS A BAND MADE OUT OF SAND

A fantastic album. I can see why they didn't continue under the name The Evens, as it's a different sound with the bass added. Coriky is the Evens + Joe Lally from Fugazi on bass. If you can imagine The Evens with a slightly more funky, aggressive sound like Fugazi... that's what you get! And there's no way that can ever go wrong. What a great debut album!! smiledozer

Every Bad
by Porridge Radio

supported by 5 fans who also own “Band Made Out of Sand”

I feel like I could have written this song while with my ex. It is so bitingly truthful, holding back none of the bitter reality of feelings that a toxic relationship establishes. The build up of vocalization is spitting, heartwrenching and really brings the lyrics to their fullest emotional potential. Can’t describe how much I love the juxtaposition of extremes recurring throughout this album, both lyrically and thematically. izze32
