A Great Song 01:25
Has my drinking improved since I last saw you Or have I reddened like an old star And fallen like a drunk sun Was it obvious when I was young I was always leave things undone? Shall I copy a great song Written for someone who was loved And written by someone who isn't me Or shall I try to believe to just be real, just be me?
2.
The black lights around the eyes The bells, the chimes, and the crimes I've pocked packed knives and cones I'm driving out while you're driving alone And it's alright, they're on our side! The wooden skull, the foreign girl The slow we couldn't stand to wait She wrote the words I couldn't say I'm driving out while you're driving in And it's alright, we're on their side!
3.
When the river froze we felt the heavy drag Smoking out the guns and the stolen radio And I'm no longer the scout The winter girls are long, they promised to return My sleeves are red and torn As always I was wrong And I'm no longer the scout
4.
As low as the wayward, ones that are cold as The last of the crows in the snow The dark and the favourite, the twin tone market The ones holding books about home And leave before it all begins to feel A hardening outlook, recorded on cassette The first track is always the same The twin tone market, a repeating circuit The ones holding books in flames And leave before it all begins to feel
5.
Bring out the old projectors, the reels they haven't returned Professors release the archive and history tumbles again There are faces of girls on the wall A quick drink before you tell it all No more silent thoughts, murmurs in the dark A last look I'll forget anyway With nothing left to say
6.
It's time to travel again The old return never felt that right And you keep moving slower In a different city We might find the time There's a line drawing out the dark traps With broken arms and burnt photographs
7.
A low sun on the old house where the rangers used to work The airmen always aiming through the mountains to the coast Lost a few but of course you knew, still learning and leaning too far A map of the path, a nap on the grass, are they still out in the land? Navigation arrows, I don't want this anymore Point them down All of the times in the abandoned mine with the rush of the jets above Losing my way like I'm losing a grade, are they still hoping to land?

"A steady flow of high-grade, homemade anti-rock. Acoustic and electric guitars wrestle for prominence in the mix to create what’s become No Museums’ signature sound: a blissed out, blown-out, super fuzzy folk/rock/pop hybrid...The seven-track album is an exercise in brevity, clocking in at a lightning fast 12 minutes yet still brimming with melodies and hooks...Nothing on It All Begins To Feel sounds rushed...Images of frozen rivers, the low sun on a forest path, knives, and burning books pepper his poetic verses, coalescing most evocatively around 'The Twin Tone Market'. It’s the one song where Betmanis veers from his formula, using a steady retro-synth drum pattern and pronounced dynamics to lift the veil of feedback. The words may be purposefully obtuse, but the emotional resonance comes through loud and clear in the delivery: No Museums is all feeling."

"At least once a year, we’re gifted a release by No Museums; they’re always creating, and always succeeding in crafting enjoyable tunes. Today they drop It All Begins to Feel, an exercise in brevity and hooks. Six of the seven tracks all come in at under 2 minutes, though the craftsmanship maximizes your listening in enjoyment. These are subtle pop tunes, filled with smoky vocals and great guitar work; at the moment my favorite of the 7 is 'Old Projectors.' So much substance packed into an enjoyable 11 minute adventure. I’m hoping that the band will have another release for us by year’s end, so cross your fingers while you enjoy."
