the night turns to Easter, it’s my new birthday
just like in a past life, that comes back when you say
let’s have one more cigarette while parked in driveway
let’s have one more cigarette before night turns into day
Diana, Diana, "put your head on my shoulder"
Diana, Diana, "wouldn’t it be nice if we were older"
and I wouldn’t have to fight the high of a homesick
with you around, I don’t look down, it all comes back with flick
of just one more cigarette before I get on track
just one more cigarette before smoke covers crack
Diana, Diana, "there’s a place where lovers go"
Diana, Diana, "sooner or later one of us must know"
that it goes without saying, all these songs in our heads
reincarnate everything, even the regret
it’ll be church in a few hours but we won’t be there
to hear your sister singing, instead our throats will tear
from just one more cigarette before I go inside
just one more cigarette, before away you ride
Diana, Diana, "I saw the harbor lights"
Diana, Diana, "don’t worry baby, we’ll make it alright"
with just one more cigarette, just one more cigarette
just one more cigarette
when we get to heaven we’ll walk down the streets paved with gold
when we get to heaven I know we won’t have to grow old
when we get to heaven we’ll stand on the top of the sun
when we get to heaven away from dark fields we’ll run

These recordings feel knowingly classic but gently break through to make their own impression. Truly well crafted/produced songs with the right blend of skilled instrumentation and expressive lyricism. Mary of Rain and Tickets and Tapes are my favorites. a leaf
Deft writing, otherworldly lyrics, and thematic nuance are always just below the surface on Will Sprott's latest. Bandcamp Album of the Day Jul 10, 2023
