96th Street and Lex as the sun begins to rise
It’s a long way home, but I do not mind
Sun is peeking past the pond and the trees of Central Park
In the restlessness of the morning mist
Met Museum day, it’s a memory linked to you
In a deep down part of my brain, it’s true
The love we formed in those halls, it’s still there in the armor room
16 with you, I guess we both knew
You cannot go on the path you’re on, you cannot
You cannot go
You cannot go on the path you’re on, you cannot
You cannot go
There is this notion of me
Beside a seat on a park bench
I feel your absence there
Yeah it lingers in the air
Losing love, lost a friend, lost the person I was with you
And I mourn its loss every time I cross this street
But I could not go on the path we trod, I could not
I could not go
And I cannot go on the path I’m on, I cannot
I cannot go
Now that I’m older I have known time collapsing and time misleading
The space between our lives gets broad
Wider, wider, wider, wider
None the wiser, I know I know nothing nothing nothing nothing
Except:
You cannot go on the path you’re on, you cannot
You cannot go

"deep in the swirling space, where my body and the world collide" Incredible, fraught, deep, challenging music from Gabby. I loved working on this album!! Also, I co-produced it :) Bellows
Bad Moves is a very melody-centered and full of life punk band. I really love this record and you will too! lots of wacky moments of playful guitar stuff and really exciting songs. One Thing is my fav Bellows
Point the Flashlight and Walk is my favorite thing Felix has made. It has a ton of wisdom about devotion and how love changes after relationships end. I learned a lot from this record. Bellows
Despite its themes of isolation and loneliness, Caroline White's latest batch of folk-pop confessionals is an LP brimming with confidence. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 7, 2019
