harmless gave it a go and it's in the first post of the siren's thread. probably needs further vetting.
The "graves" line might not be quite right. That word might be "grace" and other stuff.

Also, after reading his review, it sounds like this song could really be about his children. Love for a spouse is one thing, but love for a child is an entirely different level of emotions. As a father of two, I won't be surprised if I can really relate to this song.
I'll listen for that now, because I think Future Days is also about his kids.

it's been an "office chair slow dance" kind of tuesday. rocking back and forth from chair arm to chair arm, with a nice chair spin during the solo.

I'm going to finally click "submit" on my Lightning Bolt vinyl per-order Thursday, maybe it'll embolden them to create more "Sirens."

Let's rate the What The Fucks of the catalogue:

1. Sirens
2. The Fixer

I keep waiting for Rick Astley to come out of nowhere after about 30 seconds of Sirens.

It's one verse and then a huge wanky solo, with a quiet breakdown that's supposed to give you a gradual boner until the ejaculation at the end. Rearviewmirror does everything it's trying to do better.

I get what you're saying, but for me Porch as always been a top PJ song. I'd possibly go so far as to say one of the best two tracks off Ten
