love this little m. ward song. pure joy. a happy weekend to you.

Thought I was falling into a deep depression
Thinking all the mystery was all gone
Like I was falling into the deep of a grand canyon
From the side of a mountain I was hanging on

But now I’m coming up for air
I see my angel on the sand
She’s running out to meet me
In the waves of the of the Rio Grande

And it’s joy, honey, pure joy, uh huh
Pure joy just to see you again
Thought my heart was in a rut of recession
All the colors I had seen had faded into the black
Like I was falling fast to the bottom of the ocean
And just my luck my hands were all chained up behind my back

But now I’m coming up for air
I see my angel on the sand
She’s running out to meet me
To save me again

And it’s joy, honey, pure joy, uh huh
Pure joy just to see you again

And it’s joy, honey, pure joy
To see the sun coming down through the mist

Yeah it’s joy, honey, pure joy
To feel the medicine of oxygen fill up my lungs again

And it’s joy, honey, pure joy
To feel the strength of your kiss against my lips

Yeah it’s joy, honey pure joy
Ain’t no other way to say what this feeling is

Pure joy
Pure joy
Pure joy

my favorite on his latest. with annie clark (aka st. vincent).

If you loosen liable lips 
You keep sinking all my ships 
Oh then you’re the one who sank my Lusitania 
But somehow it don’t register as pain, at all 
Till it finds our crooked vain 
It should help
Oh let’s not remember the Maine

Oh-oh-oh ooo 
You laid mines along your shore
Oh no ooo 
Through my hull they ripped and tore
Oh ooo 
We don’t study this war no more

So we let our backbone slip
Till the arc spits from my fingertips 
And we’ll become a hazard in the rain
Boy we’ll get charged out in the lane
And there’s a 60-cycle hum
Go ahead, say something dumb boy, there’s no shame
There’s no shame
Go ahead, say something dumb boy, there’s no shame

Oh-oh-oh ooo 
You lay your mines along your shore
No ooo 
Through my heart you’ve ripped and torn
Oh ooo 
We don’t study this war no more

(more on the lusitania here.)

hustlin’. cotton, linen, and hemp lovelies to hit silver in the city tomorrow, the inventorialist pop-up at flux the week following, and then my etsy shop after that. an early spring means a big jump on getting wares out in plenty of time for warm weather.
