A Bit of OTR

If you have talked to me in the past ten years you surely know my favorite band. If you are interested take a look at their site. If you like I will lend you their CDs, or you can buy "Ohio". You won't be disappointed. "Drunkard's Prayer" is great work as well, and "Good Dog Bad Dog" is a must listen. This is the kind of music you don't take out of your CD player... ever. A haunting mix of vocals, acoustic guitar, piano and a blend of other instruments from time to time. So, humor me!

OTR

A musical taste: listen to "Suitcase"

A lyrical taste:

Long Lost Brother
Words and Music: Detweiler
recording: OHIO

I thought that we'd be
Further along by now
I can't remember how
We stumbled to this place

I loved you like a long lost brother
On a bad day maybe I thought why bother
I've seldom seen so much anger
In a face

I wanna do better
I wanna try harder
I wanna believe
Down to the letter

Jesus and Mary
Can you carry us
Across this ocean
Into the arms of forgiveness

I don't mean to laugh outloud
I'm trying to come clean
Trying to shed my doubt
Maybe I should just keep
My big mouth shut

More often than not
When it comes to you
You want whatever's not in front of you
Deep down I know this includes me too

So tell me your troubles
Let your pain rain down
I know my job I've been around
I invest in the mess
I'm a low cost dumping ground

Trouble is I'm so exhausted
The plot, you see, I think I've lost it
I need the grace to find what can't be found
