Smooth Pursuit

Friendship

Only a nose hair away / From inner peace today…

Had this song going through my head today, the three minute closing track to their new record LOVE THE STRANGER. This is one of those records that just makes me feel good and I can see myself returning to it frequently this year. Love the twang and there’s wit and wisdom here across 17 tracks. Humility. Relearning stuff I thought I knew. And Dan Wriggins just has one of those voices, ironically landing somewhere between Jay Farrar and Jeff Tweedy. ♥️

Only a nose hair away
From inner peace today
Heard a car alarm
Through the window pane
More horns than usual
Long and atonal
Maybe a few, oh

I said the dove mourned for my love
Down here, we’re all a wreck
Show ‘em some respect

Black and smooth pursuit
Relearning stuff I swore I knew
The big shadow only grew
Your guess said the flood is as good as mine
Down here in the greasy mess
Hoping for the best
