Summer is here, we're far from fear The skies up above are filled with love oh wuh-oh Winter has come, and you have gone The bright knitted heart has torn apart oh wuh-oh oh no oo oo oo oo oh wuh-oh, oh no, please don't go, wuh oh The sketch that you drew has bled on threw The ink stains the sheets that we once knew oh wuh-oh oh no oo oo oo oo oh wuh-oh, oh no, please don't go, wuh oh Summer is here, you're nowhere near The skies above now yearn to love oh, wuh-oh, oh no oo oo oo oo oo

Walking Down, Walking Down the fallowed land Withered Down, Withered Town The smell of the dust and the smoke through the trees Hear the ghosts, hear the ghosts whispered sound telling me to head toward the Sun Covered Town Oh my home is alone, there's nobody home anymore Oh see the look of the face who hopes to fill his life with grace Tattered knees, tumbled weeds Traveling forth to the place which is best We're heading west Beggars plead beggin' please Their babies they groan from hunger with a sickened tone Oh society cries, hopefully glory in their eyes Oh unmeasurable woes from the hundreds of dying crows What is left here but fear? Technology bursts, you're my mirror I sought them first.

It started when we couldn't kiss My heart it burned with endless bliss The people stare at us in shame The blinded face it has no name, no name My darling How about I weep until there are no sheep To graze upon your head while you dream I've woken up here once or twice The burning flame now feels like ice My thoughts still linger with your face Now all that's left here is this place, this place My darling How about I weep until there are no sheep To graze upon your head while you dream Doo doo do do do do do (fade)

Golden Afternoon Los Angeles, California

Review by KROQ
"Golden Afternoon put out the slightly spooky, soporific honeyed dream pop that melts over you with a jazzy jouissance like a torn-up love letter unearthed in a ghost town...Golden Afternoon are just like that love letter, a spark of humanity and potentiality against their galloping rhythms and Quentin Tarantino-esque melodies." ... more
