stompin' out your fear lobes for to see that you are blind to find no office chairs connecting feet up desks of someone's mind forgiving cheers they cry because you walk amongst the past and you couldn't pay them off and more than that you wouldn't last exactly what you think you can perceive amongst your living human costume the space machines, the toys you keep, you weep where no one thinked that they would watch you but when it's hard to try to speak and weakness stares at you while you are resting if you could stay alive to see that your mortality's your only blessing though perfection is no means unto an end a friend's applying for a job there but his skin and bones are angry at the people that don't imitate his long hair but when it's hard to try to speak and weakness stares at him while he is resting and if he could stay alive to see that his mortality's his only blessing

I thought I told you not to speak to me although you want to you should leave me be you tried to burn me, didn't you baby? I won't make that mistake again now when you see me turn and walk away I'm not in any mood to talk today you tried to freeze me, didn't you baby? I won't make that mistake again

can you send me a dream, one I might like to stay in can you film me a scene, with a cast I could play in will you show me your cloud, now it seems it is waiting can you open your mouth, do you use it for hating can you find me a love that's real everything I do is wrong can you make me a sound to feel everything I do is wrong

slowly streaming through the air she glides across the clouds ride across the icy river gently sinking down trees are rushing past your eyes they seem to guide your way you see the wind go through the leaves you're hearing what they say sensing something all the time it whispers in your ear the sun begins to fade away and then it all is clear

waving your hand from inside a machine, thinking about all your friends that are dead what did you mean when you said do it clean, thinking about all the books you have read spending the night in the Spanish hotel, you want to be shopping where they were embalmed what do you feel like when nothing goes well, there's emblems of magick and death on your arm
8.
I was born the runnin' kind, leavin' always on my mind, home was never home to me at any time every front door found me hopin' I would find the back door open there just had to be an exit for the runnin' kind within me there's a prison surrounding me alone as real as any dungeon with its walls of stone I know runnin's not the answer but runnin's been my nature and the part of me that keeps me movin' on
9.
are you really gonna let her win after all she's done she's just another one are you really gonna take her back after where she's been do you see what I mean recognize her mystery if you'll promise this to me don't be around that kind of soul are you really gonna speak to her I can't believe you wouldn't let her leave are you sleeping standing on your feet after all she's done you're not the only one

Canyon 03:50
farther down the canyon is where you'll find us dreaming in the rain again you are all welcome come into our hearts speak in scarlet letters that never fall apart coloring the leaves changing into dreams the sound they make is real to me and it can be real for us, and it can be real open your hands feel the rain descend form together as friends made from the same place, born with a different face there is a pattern of sound and light vision of beauty we make at night and it can be real for us, and it can be real you can't divide us it's inside us will you follow come tomorrow

I am dumb from holding you I think it's time I put you down forevermore and what's in store for me this game has gone too far I'm tired of knowing where you are and what's the matter with my laughter we remain expressionless how could we invest in this new distraction the arms that I am trapped in there are things that I could say but why should I speak anyway where does it end and where does it begin stop the time and touch my skin we'll turn to special friends follow me. just follow me leave it up to you to take a love that I was born to make you've heard before, you've heard that before

about

They've been branded one of the most prolific bands around today - and their new release "Don't Believe In Demos Vol. 1" (PSR075) is just added proof.

The Young Sinclairs led by singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Samuel Lunsford, have collected 14 tracks made up of fantastic early versions, rare compilation tracks, odds & ends, and cassette only releases - direct from their vaults for your complete listening enjoyment.

Along with their already trademark 12 string jangly sound-this compilation includes some of their early ultra atmospheric Psychedelia influenced perhaps by the Elephant 6 collective of the mid 1990's / early 2000's.

The Young Sinclairs have been bringing their brand of psych/folk/rock (RIYL: The Byrds, The Essex Green, Rain Parade etc.) to the world since 2005 as part of Roanoke, Virginia's the Magic Twig Community. The band features: John Thompson, Daniel Cundiff (see also Eternal Summers), Sean Poff, Jonathan Woods, and Samuel Lunsford (ex 63 Crayons). In their five years they have self released several full length LPs, EPs and cassettes.

In early-mid 2010 the band released "We Spoke Our Minds E.P." (Planting Seeds) and "Chimeys"(Chimney Sweep Records) to worldwide critical acclaim most notably from UK magazine Shindig! who proclaimed "The Young Sinclairs take the vibe of garage acts influenced by The Byrds and make it their own."

The Young Sinclairs have also taken their show to the road with high profile tours with Australia's The Lovetones (2009), The Brian Jonestown Massacre (2010) along with dates with Sweden's Dungen, Elf Power, among many others....and so the trip begins.
