lyrics
I won the lottery just the other day
Maybe you read about it or saw me on the TV
And that’s when I didn’t have the heart to say
That I’d spent it all in one blinding day
It was a good summer
I can’t complain
When your all your luck has gone away
And it’s feeling much too soon
You feel a little drunk
And it’s just the afternoon…
If there was another way to say it
Then I wouldn’t have to say
That I had a good thing going
Until the summer went and came
That’s just my luck, it’s here to stay,
Until it’s not, and then it’s on its way
I’m left picking up the pieces,
Weekends and on holidays
And I can’t help but feeling
That all these feelings changed
With the changing of the seasons
While the summer slipped away
It was a good summer
And now it’s all just gone away
Left as quickly as it came
And I can’t bring it back again
I won the lottery just the other day
It was a good summer...
It was a good summer
I had a good summer
It was a good summer
I had a good summer
It was a good summer…

An introspective collection of thoughtful, esoteric soul. Broken narratives and light gospel progressions help tell the story. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 15, 2016
A home recorded EP of gauzy and melodic grunge expands the definition of the genre the with layers of sound, synths, and atmosphere. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 3, 2022
There’s a mighty cinematic sweep in the songs on the latest from Badlands, the big and imposing orchestration with dreamlike vocals. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 27, 2022
