Pinback – Walters

“A man can’t just sit around.” – Larry Walters

Read about Larry Walters on Wikipedia. But please, whatever you do, don’t take the same ending he did. If you’re contemplating suicide, get help now.

Lyrics:
You made your mark on me
You laid your past to sleep
No other man went here
Alone under the light

Anyone else would slit from sleeve to shoulder
Anyone else would not deserve your life
It seems that all lines convalesce the other side
It sense that all I’ve worried for is vain

Larry climbs into his lawn chair, waves her goodbye
Unties from the post, races towards the sky
Takes a sip out of his beer and says it looks amazing
He said it looks amazing

Climbs until he can’t think, can’t hear himself
Shoots at the balloons and falls to the ground
Jumps out of his chair and says it was amazing.
He said it was amazing
Get me down.
Let me down.
Get me down.
Now that I’m miles above you here
Did I stamp the last out of all my fears?
Is there nothing left for me to do?
Is there nothing left for me to do?
Is there nothing left for me to do?
Went out on a hike and he never came back again

To facilitate this, I’m trying out Project Playlist. Not sure how long it’ll be around if they get sued out of existence. I’ll work on turning this into a real podcast when I get a chance.

This playlist features music from Astronautalis, Anberlin, Relient K, Fall Out Boy, The All-American Rejects, Brave Saint Saturn, The Graduate, and Snow Patrol.

I’ve been on the run from zombies. I managed to find a double-barreled shotguns and ammo cache and have holed up in a building with an active wifi connection and microphone long enough to post a new episode.

Here’s the new music: starting with a track from Japanese rockers HIGH and MIGHTY COLOR, followed by Swedish post-hardcore band Blindside, a band from Illinois called The Graduate, Finnish symphonic power metal band Nightwish, Minnesotan punk outfit Motion City Soundtrack, and closing things off is a band from Ohio called Relient K.
