One day
One day
Oh, one day
I'll go home
But not til I know for sure
There's something I won't have to
Wonder
Wonder,
Always wonder
When I go
Will you be gone?
Cause I just want to be where you are.
—
I'm in the place that we last spoke, now
So long ago, now
I see old footprints below
They might be yours
So I follow them down familiar dirt roads
Down these old dirt roads
The evening light shines in my eyes,
and I know that I'll find my way there slowly.
—
I know I’ll find my way there slowly
My body shivers below me
Such a cold day
But I have wanted this always
And I know I’ll find my way there slowly
All my fingertips frozen
Getting closer
All in all, clouding over
but I know I’ll find my way there slowly
My body falters below me
Getting closer
Nine missed calls and I think how
They’ll say we went to be with God, now
I’m not worried at all now
I’ll get there slowly
I know just where I’m going
I’m off to be where you are
One day
One day
Oh, one day
I'll go home
But not til I know for sure
There's something I won't have to
Wonder
Wonder,
Always wonder
When I go
Will you be gone?
Cause I just want to be where you are.

In a way
In a way
What else can I say
You’re here
Today
In a way
When I got dressed
I wept and I wept
Soon
I’ll be older
than you
—
Sat by the window in a crowded room
The ones who know me here did not know you
Press my forehead to the glass
and in my head I hear at last, at last
—
It was light out when I left
Someone asked and all I said
is I felt quiet, I was tired, another time
Wracking up missed calls
Until my voicemail box was full
& on my phone, I bought a ticket home
—
A structure‘s been built
on the side of Forest Hills
where once we watched flowers wilt
The sun is shining on that roof
there‘s pollen on my shoes
and no one’s ever reminded me of you
—
Sat by the window in a quiet room
The ones who knew you here won’t talk about you
I try to fight it but it’s slipping through
Doesn’t anyone miss you like I do?
Forgetting you, forgetting you
If it’s so easy then forget me too.
Press my fingers to the windowpane
And in my head I hear it shattering.
No ones ever reminded me of you
Of you, not you, never you

An excellent take on droll and downcast indie rock with unexpectedly sparkly elements from this Philadelphia group.

The Manchester band's latest is the kind of ear candy that’s sweet and satisfying but never cloying, the product of Madchester exuberance, endurance, and tact.

From London comes this album of arty electronic music with jittery beats and writhing electronics.

There’s a mighty cinematic sweep in the songs on the latest from Badlands, the big and imposing orchestration with dreamlike vocals.

Soothing indie pop from Philadelphia with the slightest psychedelic edge, always centered on tremendous melodies.

The second EP from UK duo Pecq features bubbly synthpop swirled with a bright psychedelic haze.

The sound of “NOW! 2073” is also the sound of 1983: laser-like minimalist electropop that flirts with coldwave and dance music.
