about

This song was recorded for The Feverfew's debut full-length LP, "Apparitions". It was originally released on Eyeball Records in November 2004.

lyrics

They come in the morning with brilliant parades
and in every small town we're losing our names
to the march of new children in five star brigades
with ten tiny fingers to tear at my veins

My words are not urgent
My melody plain
and all my epiphanies still sound the same
It's a song, it's a story
of your life and mine
as hard as we try the words are still intertwined

Somewhere on a rooftop two girls watch the sun
fall down beneath buildings
the day come undone
And without much warning they both disappear
and the sound of pianos is all you can hear
And you're out there somewhere
awaiting my call
but we get weighed down by the noise of it all
And the heart is a big place to get lost inside
but i hope that you don't think i meant goodbye

It's a song, it's a story
of your life and mine
and as hard as we try the words are still intertwined
It's a love without pretense
a card not yet sold
but something about this just makes me feel old

about

The Feverfew Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

The Feverfew has a sound born in the South and dragged up through the East, landed somewhere between a Brooklyn rooftop and the sea. With unassuming posture, Andrew Bethany Spiers makes an impact. Spiers' lyrics are formidably poetic and steep him as a promising talent in a tradition of literary musicians that includes Patti Smith, David Berman, Thurston Moore and David Byrne, to name a few. ... more
