You were only trying to live life
Free and with open mind
Driving around through this town
I’m going to find out why
You were only trying to live life
Free with an open heart
Driving around through this town
I’m going to find out
I’m going to find out
I’m going to find out why

in the driven snow
where footsteps fade away
what’s happening inside,
inside and outside,
outside and inside
and down below
in those dark, dark houses
up at the lodge
damn good coffee at the waterfront
moving backwards in the past
the truth depicted in the images
appearing in your dreams
the old trees know
what’s going on
listen to the owls while they’re
humming the tunes
eyes on the watch
as they’re singing along
she was wrapped up in plastic
in the river of truth
who is setting the deals at the iron mill?
who is making babies with the neighbours away?
who is touching the kids to fell the thrill?
rising others’ children ’til the truth is revealed
listen to the owls
they are humming the truth

I’ve seen the sulfur rain
I’ve heard the violins
Try to numb the pain
Keep to the code of silence
My arms bend back
We were all too good to be true
We’re not what we seem
Living in a dream
Who am I to wake you?
I’m losing control
I’m losing my soul
I’ve seen the way they look at me
They see what they want to see
They close their eyes and pray
The unpleasantness away
If only I could do the same
It’s my fault, I’ll take the blame
So long,
I played my part in this collective fantasy
So long,
Once again the trees are calling me
Inside a Rockwellian dream
Untarnished by the modern world
Behind my eyes
The shadows bleed up the walls
And I fall
I fall
I’m losing control
I’m losing my soul
I’ve seen the way they look at me
They see what they want to see
They close their eyes and pray
The unpleasantness away
If only I could do the same
It’s my fault, I’ll take the blame

This is 'now', & now will never be again
Trust & do not tremble
in the face of the unknown,
for it won't be unknown to you
for very long,
in the sweet by & by...
As above & so below
with me stuck in the middle
Strange, to be so near to one
who only speaks in riddles
Summerhead pacifist
with eyes closed in flame
(The owls...)
Merciless harbinger
was one & the same
(The owls are not what they seem...)
As above & so below
with me stuck in the middle
Strange, to be so near to one
who only speaks in riddles
Samson brought the temple
down over his head
Kept the others safe from harm
& lost his life instead
Your wedding dress
with singe'd hems
a testament to grace
The wound that never heals,
glazed & cooling on your face
Hold the light inside you
(One day, the sadness will end)

Did fate bring me here
When I opened the door
I remember the time
Like a hazy sequel
A slow motion replay
Have I been here before
Abandon who I used to be
Now nothing’s real
I can change
Strangled by my innocence
Is it lost
When I take the drop
I feel strange
Tangled by the consequence
At what cost
Then I hear the beat begin to stop
I see my disguise
Through the crack in the mirror
Wash the stain of disease
From my broken body
Dissolve into darkness
As it’s drawing me near
Secrets exposed cast aside
Now I am free
I can change
Strangled by my innocence
Is it lost
When I take the drop
I feel strange
Tangled by the consequence
At what cost
Then I hear the beat begin to stop
Everything I touch
It turns to rust
Everything I touch
Will bloom and decay
Everything I touch
It turns to dust
Everything I touch
Will bloom and decay
I can change
Strangled by my innocence
Is it lost
When I take the drop
I feel strange
Tangled by the consequence
At what cost
Then I hear the beat begin to stop
Then I hear the beat begin to stop
Then I hear the beat begin to stop

It Will Come To You LP
by ACTORS
supported by 35 fans who also own “Wrapped in Plastic”
It's uncanny just how good Actors is at emulating that Post-Punk synth sound from my younger days. Each listen just gets better and better. I feel slightly ashamed for not having heard this album until a few short days ago.

The End Is the Beginning
by Mirror Of Haze
Perfectly gloomy Norwegian goth/post-punk, anchored by a punchy rhythm section and driven by chiming guitar lines and morose vocals.
go to album
“Strangers” is packed with wonderfully menacing electro-goth—late-night horror movie music for vampire dance parties.

The Boston lo-fi psych-pop artist goes full dark synth on this immersive and catchy new release.

Artoffact Records 2021 Sampler
by Artoffact Records
supported by 32 fans who also own “Wrapped in Plastic”
The Alt/ Underground 1980s & 90s just called me from a phone booth in the Mojave Desert, and they informed me to profusely thank these adventurous musicians for keeping it all alive & vital. It's very rare to hear music that invokes deep nostalgia upon the very first listen, but here it is. Standout tracks for me: Obsession Body Aktiv Home Drown Below (wow, just wow) Dangerous Mother Tongue / Glitter Belly \m/(><)\m/ Wave a Dead Chicken
