These lyrics need a country twang and steady drumbeat, jumping to a fast paced guitar with multiple harmonies. Playfully flirty yet with a confident strength.

Divorce - Drive to Goldenhammer - Album Review
I've been planning to review more music since the reviews I posted of Franz Ferdinand's The Human Fear and Mogwai's The Bad Fire. I loved the new album from Squid called Cowards—it's odd, and dark in context but with really interesting bright-sounding noises and strange lyrics. Very proggy too. I also love the new Japanese Breakfast album and the new Courting album. For today's review though, I wanted to talk about Divorce's debut album Drive to Goldenhammer.

Letters to Mom
Im still singing at the top of my lungs Still making up songs and how they aught to be sung Still trying to live in the past trying desperately to make times last Im still cooking for a varied taste Still disappointed when it pretty much goes to waste Still living each day by the beach tho AZ deserts where I seek Wishing you were here with me I'm Still blaming myself for the things that I cant change Still trying to ignore the feeling of feeling just shortchanged Wishing you were here with me I'm Still wishing I could meet your ghost Still wanting to Let our hair down with a Marinellis toast Still trying to listen more than I talk Still trying to make it out on our walks Im Still wanting to travel the world Still to afraid to give it a whirl Wishing you were here with me I'll be the one refusing goodbye

The Feeling I Call You
I can never see past the feeling The feeling I call you I've been simply living Living to get by, drifting, adrift, searching for my why That's until you came and gave me some good reason A reason to call you mine Strawberry kisses, with a Carmel hazelnut coffee side We call that a good morning guide the rest we can only hope to take in stride I got a lot of genius up inside me But as I say, thats just where it dwells before it dies so many things, so many seasons, so many moments that make me cry, So many words unexpressed So many times to try and write off in reply And you, God knows how I've tried You are and arn't the world when I'm curled up along your thigh So we can try to say it in our own way, try to say a permanent goodbye never on the same page and some how that's just okay Because once it'd be over, our performance would just reprise You could always see past the feeling It's all always hidden in those eyes You see me in some picture A picture I've tried to erase a thousand times Restored by a memory, a memory of a future where you've stuck us in your time I'm hiding in this picture, Nothing more than a fixture, except to the few anointed with the view a very few Confidently, I know you were one who always knew I could never see past the feeling The feeling I call you mercurial to the bone A tone like music we can set bet however passively or actively, you know exactly what you do Tell me I have a feeling A feeling you call me
