elements
friends,
this week is episode 702.
it's inspired by the mystery of a new song:
elements
has it felt like we were forced to choose
between two enemies?
the one that says that i'm no good
or forever bein' a fool.
can you tell me which element is mine?
it's always a feeling
that cow jumped over the moon
that's never, no not really, gonna do.
and what about the business?
the world ain't interested.
where were y'all trying to make it to?
<solo>
the empty cold heart in it
lifetimes lived aside
how wonderful that almost was
you were always listening
but never could decide
can you tell me which element divides?
<solo>
can you tell me which element was mine?
and where were y'all trying to make it to?
can you tell me now which elements divide?
i hope this finds you well,
and that you'll join me.
tonight's songs:
- farmington hills (cat eyes, 2016)
- elements (demo, 2020)
- for the woman who has everything (lip service, 2013)
love,
russell

and hope you'll join me.
the songs:
- make mistakes (demo, 2020)
- i wouldn't've learned a thing (demo, 2020)
- home (h-nd t- g-d, 2017)
