Touch 199 20:19
Section 1 You’ll know me when you slip in through the cracks Behind the scream that’s always there A distant flare on lonely nights, I’ll be the lights And how you’ll know me when I conjure up the beasts Know me You’ll know me You’ll know me Section 2 Well...its been a long time hasn’t it friend And isn’t this an exclusive transmission The communications almost non-existent now Now our orbits never change They never merge They never even parallel They only criss cross one moment every billion years And we’re never near And we’ll never ever know But still I try I hold my breath and dive head first Through my past lives and through the muck and mire My rocket booster sends me smashing through the wall The wall splits and its raining through It rains.. it rains through the cracks And the cracks become gaps And the gaps become huge gaping holes in time and space Unrepairable… And when I’m called back When I’m him again I only know that somethings missing This is how it manifests As something missing And he finds himself on the couch again In his living room Paralyzed by fear And exhausted from travel Section 3 Ears wake to the sound at the door And as she steps in the room He swoons and pastes on a smile He fumbles further with transparent gestures Yet still she offers her hand A touch means a lot A touch means a lot Ears wake to the sound at the door And as she steps in the room He looms for recovery and pastes on a smile Fumbles further with transparent gestures Yet still she offers her hand A touch means a lot A touch means a lot

About Touch 199 -

This is the first May Family Reunion recording ever made. One continuous piece of music with different sections, running around 20 minutes long. It was recorded as it was written, in a sort of spontaneous frenzy over a few days. No prewriting...everything on the spot! It clearly marks the genesis of the bands sound and future direction. With its morphing landscape of sound, it moves from section to section like an orchestra through different movements of a symphony. Primitive 4 track recordings give this EP a great vintage lo-fi sound!
