I think you're right
When you say
We're not polite
To the time
We live in
I don’t know why
I’m still stuck here
Waiting for you
In my mind
You're a saint to me
Marie come to me
And let my head lie on your shoulder
And let it never go anywhere
please, Marie stay in the store, be there
I'm driving as faster as I can
When you say our generation failed
Melancholy will rule the world
St. Marie don’t be sad, we’re dreaming
We’re just strangers with a past together
Oh sweet Marie
Why didn't we stay in touch, well I still miss you
But I guess now this is not enough
St. Marie, forgive me for what I haven't done
Now life's just a moment almost gone

You’re celebrating 18 months with your last boyfriend and
I'm celebrating 14 months without cutting my hair
And I don't need more time to understand
Who really won the war between us, don't you get it yet?
I just saw a cell phone picture of you now and I felt
Like you are someone that I never really met
Your eyes are dim or maybe bright or maybe i don't know
I'm so bad that i hope that now you're worse
Was all that time as real as i thought?
Or perhaps it was just the feel i loved
Despite our age and past
Nothing in my mind changed so far
But I'm just singing of obviation
Half indifference
Half frustration
Forever living with obviation
Half forgotten
Half reiteration

Slow

I need a slow dive in the sea
I need to see you dance with Phil
if you want you both can come
To see me swim from the top of your love dream
And everybody knows I'm jealous and alone
And everybody tries to point at me as I'm bad
No one will never slow you down
You're so proud
Why can't it be like last year on the settee
When we tried to make her scream
Oh Phil, don't be upset tomorrow she'll be home again
C'mon Phil, she feels the same even if she can't recall your name
Water fills the emptiness in me
I’m about to drown

Lie

Please stop comparing me with all the boys you've loved
I’m sure you don't like me
It's just a lack of will (I'm sure)
I get it last night when I was lying hopeless on my bed
Nothing will ever save me from what I'll become
No one will ever judge me if I'm doing it wrong
Please stay at home tonight,
I don't want to think of you with someone else
No more
All the time we spent together was a lie
All the time we spent together was a lie

Marie Byrd Land Band recommends:
Nobody Matters / Alienation = Paranoia
by riːˈjuːnjən (REUNION)
I recorded this single under the moniker riːˈjuːnjən (REUNION) back in the late 2014. Surprisingly, years after I can still stand it pretty well. Which is an utterly underrated achievement.

Sing the Night Away
by Kubla Khan
Kubla Khan's acoustic debut EP is my personal favourite release came out from my hometown in the past years. The singer-songwriter, and friend, R. Rivaroli lent his voice for the MBLB's song "People".

A 4-songs EP I home-recorded last summer with R.R. from Kubla Khan to roll out our side-project Needless. Two songs written by him, two by me. Hopefully more to come in the future.
