GLADIE
ORANGE PEELS / THANK YOU CARD.

Gladie is a synthy, guitarry, sometimes drummy machiney band from Phildelphia. Their songs are lush and dreamy while brimming with punk rock energy, begging to be blasted out of car windows on sunny days. Meanwhile Augusta's lyrics get real about the nature of the anxiety within this shit reality and how to live with it all. After putting out a fantastic new record this year (SAFE SINS!) Gladie's plans were sidelined along with every other band. In the interim they made these two really good EP's that I am stoked to share with ya here GLADIE FOREVER BABYYYYYY.

IS THAT WHY YOU'RE HERE

I sleep with piles of clothes in my bed so it’s not so empty / Should have finished that chapter on dismantling codependency / This morning I heard every damn car alarm in the city / I think about you out there, indulge in jealousy and pity / But the truth is when it hits oh the truth is I can't fix it / I thought you knew me the best knew me the best knew me the best I thought you knew me the best. knew me the best knew me the best / Your dogmas slightly flawed and filled with weeds / Oh you’d love to see me down, down, down on my knees / And I pause when I think about that / That everything I love is slightly fraudulent / Even me but the truth is when it hits oh the truth is I cant fix it / I thought you knew me the best knew me the best, knew me the best / I could be anybody else / I thought you knew me the best / Knew me the best Knew me the best / I could be anybody else

ORANGE PEELS

if I paint a still life of my current situation / There would be alot of tools I use to subdue procrastination / The house is filled with unmade sheets and dishes piled high / But mostly what I’d focus on is the negative space of you and I / I picture Dan downstairs laughing / I almost forgot what just happened / Orange peels on my nightstand again / I picture Dan downstairs laughing / I almost forgot what just happened / Orange peels on my nightstand again / She said I came in like a wind chime / Strangely familiar and off time / Something eerie danced in the background / Of your life of your life / She said I came in like a wind chime / Strangely familiar and off time / Something eerie danced in the background / Of your life of your life / I picture Dan downstairs laughing / I almost forgot what just happened / Orange peels on my nightstand again

SISTERS

Cars moved so fast back then on the highway / We jumped in puddles in our driveway / The grass grew so high it seemed swallow the house whole / Surprised to see nature take back control the way it did / When we were kids / Every phone call is healing / I synced up my breath to your breathing / We’ve emerged just as strong as the grass in the lawn / Didn't we? / Now I hear you fight the fatigue / You've learned to tell your friend what you need

It's easy till it’s not / Wires crossed in the parallels of thought / Oh it was easy till it’s not / Wires crossed in the parallels of thought

THANK YOU CARD

Wrote a thank you card / said I appreciate the value of the gesture / held it in my hand counterfeit and planned / It all seemed fabricated / I’ve learned with time / That you toe the line / With shinny stories of your “good standing” / I just don’t trust anyone to leverage power then call me family / Shiver with a meal that's hard to chew / I transcend season to understand you / You do the right thing If somoenes watching / A different story when you close the door / And it's clear now that you’re murky / And I can't fake it like you anymore / I can't fake it like you anymore / And I just don't trust anyone that mixes money / And calls me family / And I just don't trust anyone dangles power and calls me family / And i just don’t trust anyone to leverage guilt and call me family / And I just don’t.

I recoil, I reflect, I divulge, I reject / I recoil, I reflect, I divulge, I reject that, reject that.

You made me feel as bleak as a blank card / On shelf in a dollar store / This is how you wanted it / This is your war. / Call it a victory if there's a profit / “We all value you till your off it” / This is how you wanted it / This is your war / Wrote a thank you card / said I appreciate the value of the gesture / You wanna pat on the back well I’m not gonna give you that.

SORRY WHEN I'M NOT

I always ask permission say I'm sorry when I’m not / It's not so much living just me running out the clock / and not to sound dramatic we’re all committed to the bit / We navigate this hellscape but I still give a shit / I like driving on roads where the trees meet /I like singing your songs when we don't speak / I like driving on roads where the trees meet / I like singing along / The language of light has local dialects / Memorize the back roads, take your time. / Learn to be anonymous / learn to fall among the leaves / The choice is as easy as you wanted to be / Wanted it to be / I like driving on roads where the trees meet / I like singing your songs when we don't speak / I like driving on roads where the trees meet / I like singing along
