about

A heartbroken attempt to explain the unexplainable. Using logic & science to try to understand, and decode the mystical energy that is love. Was doing some research on limerence and the chemical concoction that’s cooked up in your brain when you fall in love. This is a plead to that chemical reaction to last forever, to exist as something more than science, to a lover, to myself, to never stop believing in its magic. painful work.

lyrics

They say that move is just a chemical
That stays for days or years and fades to tears eventually

They follow after in quick succession (secession)
A thick fog of depression is just a side-effect
Of the comedown

Come down with me love
Come down with me

Catch me I’m falling out of love
I need another dose of
Your love buzz

They say there’s no such thing as fate
That love is just a trick to fool your brain
To mate and pro-create
Well I don’t want it to be true
I wanna stay in love with you forever
And do whatever you want to

Come down with me love
Come down with me

Catch me I’m falling out of love
I need another dose of
Your love buzz

Something’s changing and I don’t know why
The laws of physics say that we can’t stay
This high forever God knows I sure tried
To push my luck
I think I did too much

Imagine magic is a construct
An illusionary thrill that routine kills
And ages out over the hill
Like Xmas Eve and “E-Pills”
They’re only made to leave you in time
If you stop believing it’s not true

Come down with me
Don’t let me down love
Come back

Catch me I’m falling out of love
I need another dose of
Love buzz

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
