I’ve been hiding from life for a while I’ve been searching for answers since nine Everything goes and comes in time Everything goes and comes in time You’ve been fighting this fight for a while You’ve been breaking your heart since nine Everything goes and comes in time Everything goes and comes in time Everything goes and comes in time Everything goes and comes in time

At times the night it gets so dark And I wonder where you are You said take me away from here You said take me away from here Because I don’t care I hurt the ones I’ll hurt you too It’s what I do Because I don’t care I hurt the ones I’ll hurt you too It’s what I do It’s what I do At times the days they seem too long And I wonder where you’ve gone You said take me away from here You said take me away from here Because I don’t care I hurt the ones I’ll hurt you too It’s what I do Because I don’t care I hurt the ones I’ll hurt you too It’s what I do It’s what I do

You can never come back You can never come back You can never come back You can never come back All the brave soldiers They planned their attack You can never come back You can never come back I’m waiting on a warrior To drape my heart in silk We all die fucking cowards You can never come back Oh, it’s what you chose Oh, it’s what you chose You can never come back You can never come back You can never come back You can never come back

Dark Days 02:32

I was lost before I met you I was lost, I was in the dark I was in the dark I was in the dark Sometimes fools can try to tell you Sometimes fools, they can run their mouths They can run their mouths They can run their mouths Now it’s safe within our harbor There’s no need to run and hide I was lost before I met you I was lost, I was in the dark I was in the dark I was in the dark I was lost before I met you I was lost, I was in the dark I was in the dark I was in the dark

Sirens 03:11

Lucky 02:45
We’ve been around We’ve seen our ups and downs And I’m thankful You still put up with me And I’m lucky I’m so lucky That it’s a dream We’ve been around We’ve seen our ups and downs And I’m thankful You still put up with me

about

"In Our Circle’ dwells heavy in a contemporary American psyche. Rare is the news that doesn’t feel worse than the day before. If we’re currently in the Autumn of the American Era, then ’In Our Circle’ sits out there in late November in a first snow made of ash. And this is from a band who once called an album We’re Fucked. But the hounds of time are really nipping at our heels now. “Another dark day, another dark day, another dark day, another dark day", Nathan Amundson quivers in his lovely, breathy tenor over a slo(ooo)w shuffling strum and a striking lap steel. Coming at the album’s midpoint, one might see this as Rivulets waving the white flag halfway through. But there’s a comfort in these blues, some sort of communal sadness in the dark. If the dad in Cormac McCarthy’s The Road had a guitar in his grocery cart, these would be the last songs he played before he used the guitar for campfire kindling.

You’ll find fuzzed out Neil Young and Crazy Horse anthems (“Not Today,” “You Can Never Come Back”) and spaced-out folk miniatures that sound like they could be early demos from Automatic for the People (“Won’t Be Long Now,” “Wire”). But by the time you reach standout, closing number “Lucky", you’ll surely be moved. “Lucky” comes very close to defying the sentiment of all that came before it on In Our Circle. “And I’m thankful you still put up with me", Amundson keens only to deliver the 2nd part of the couplet. “And I’m lucky, I’m so lucky, that it’s a dream". It’s a profound moment on the record, one that underscores the sort of soulful nihilism that haunts it’s every corner. Yes, we’re absolutely doomed. But we’re all we’ve got." - Eric Deines
