about

this song was recorded in the early 2000's but my hard drive failed and i lost a lot of things. this was origianlly intended to go on the calm note from the west sessions, but the song was never really finished. i found it recently and decided maybe i should just throw it out there anyway.

lyrics

in this jar where i've been living where i cannot see the sky where everything i've come to know has turned out to be a lie though your mouth continues moving spinning yarns of empty sound as though your promises became the dust became this chalky ground now my eyes can see no colors and my ears can hear no sound and though my feet are always moving i'm slowly losing ground all the clocks now spinning faster all the phones are ringing loud and the music's flowing beautifully as the ship is going down it's going down

40 ANGELS - THE ARCHIVE

doesn't feel busy or overproduced. Like a b-sides collect for the last two decades. Wish there was more Silverman material, but the song given here is unique... more material like "Drifting..." would be cool. Also, Geisha mermaid is immortal. thenewspaper

CHEMICAL PLAYSCHOOL VOLUMES 21 & 22
by Legendary Pink Dots

supported by 10 fans who also own “the ship”

This is unexpectedly becoming one of my favorite Dots releases, period, along with Malachai and several other late ‘80s-‘90s highlights (my favorite LPD era). So happy to see some last copies of the gorgeous-looking LP on Bandcamp after making the mistake of not buying at the SF show. Walter Campbell
