lyrics

V1
When you spend your first night alone
Creaking city apartment floor
Streetlights through the blinds
All the sights and sounds and smells are ghosts
At the busstop in the snow
Breath steaming into the cold
A confident smile arrives
In the moment you realize

Ch
You're better off without them if they won't accept it
All they see is black and white they just don't get it (1)
All they see is pigeons girl they just don't get it (2)
All the shit the wicked world is throwing at you (3)
It's not the same it's better than it was

V2
Don't you listen to what they said
Don't you let it get in your head
You're better than that you know
You're a peacock in a world of crows

Br
Now you're truly alone for the first time in your life
Please be safe on your flight downtown
The world grows talons in the night

V3
Don't you listen to what they said
Don't you let it get in your head
I'm sending you waves of love
Across the winter sky, there flies a dove

about

Finn's Motel St Louis, Missouri

Finn’s Motel started as the brainchild of Joe Thebeau, a home recording geek. It has evolved into a rock band and production collective, making albums and videos. In the early days, musicians checked in and out of the Motel as needed.

Sloan breaks absolutely NO new ground on their newest record. And I couldn't care less. Because when the songs are this good, nothing else matters. This kicks ass. Todd Leiter-Weintraub

Songs From Another Life
by The Boys With The Perpetual Nervousness

supported by 6 fans who also own “It's Not the Same (It's Better)”

The indie pop on Songs From Another Life sounds confident yet delicate, and the strummy and jangly guitars makes me long for spring. Some songs sound like straight up Teenage Fanclub worship, but in a good way. Fans of The Byrds and Big Star will probably dig this as well. Niek || Add To Wantlist
