Sailor
All I have is yours
But that ain't much
Be in no doubt
When you're with me, you're without
May the sun
Shine on you
May the rain wash away your blues
Oh! Juno Child
My pagan bee
You can be anything that you want to be
And though much of life
Is set in stone
Chip away with love and make it your own
Make it home
And though the future is unknown I do believe
It's looking alright to me.

A tantalising glimpse of what Lush could have been if they hadn't been derailed by the Britpop sound in the mid 90s.

New York duo showcase an enigmatic blend of math rock guitars, pop-punk sing-a-longs, emo confessionals, and even rave-ready synths. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 15, 2023
I always love Nicky Wire's lyrics - their wisdom, wit, sadness, and rebellion. Wire ages almost painfully gracefully. This particular song feels like it was written for me (it probably wasn't) because of some letters and art I sent or tried to send Wire a long time ago when I was in a mental health crisis. In any case, it seems to be about someone who had the stupid and embarrassing experience of loving a famous stranger they know only from their art. richeychthonic
