about

Not that I expect anyone thinks to much about our lyrics (or ever reads these notes), but if you're looking for a meaning in the song, stop. I literally put no thought into the lyrics at all, the just fit in with the tune I was humming. I wrote this thing in like five minutes. Yes, the jam at the end is basically "Let My Baby Ride" by RL Burnside. I don't think its an exact ripoff, but I credited him, just in case.

lyrics

Sisters and Brothers(Lee, interpolating "Let My Baby Ride" by RL Burnside)

I love making a plan
Oh, with sisters and brother
To reconnect the telephone
The bills are paid, the lights are on
Among you
So why’d you go and leave me
All alone?

Cuz maybe, if you’d like a conversation after hours
Then I’ll see you again
Quite literally I can say that
Lately I’m sublime,
My mind is fine, but still I find
That I’m crying all the time

Lay down your arms
And if you listen, I’ll be there for you
It’ll be so very nice
To be the ones who
Say the same thing twice

The ending jam on this track owes a heck of a lot to "Let My Baby Ride" by RL Burnside.

about

The Psychic Alliance Vancouver, British Columbia

The less you know about this band, the better. Rumor has it that they're very bad people, paranoid, misanthropic, frequently given to melancholy and intellectual dullards to boot. Stories of vicious infighting and naughtiness follow them like a black cloud, and the threat of immediate collapse is constant. Fortunately they look cool. ... more
