Powerblessings

Taken from "Kid Marine" 2000

"Release the hand that has you writing numbers
For these plans are broken into leaves
And powerblessings for all the kids who come over
How they know is into you
How they know is into me
And have you no horse to carry
you through December?
Get it somehow tediously broken
Breathing summer into faces of life
And into everyman’s gift going through
Powerblessings to you and all of you."

One of the most memorable Guitar sounds at the start of this song backed with a sci-fi keyboard sound. Again, a song that is simple and effective and dripping with atmosphere and feeling. I really like this son. A lot.

Men Who Create Fright

Taken from "Kid Marine" 2000

"There is a place
Always in the undertow
Begging at best
Hollow culture
When you exist
Are you observable?
When you resist
Are you approachable?
When you pretend
Are you unreadable?
The unspeakable must settle
On your spy frame mind
The reason you came here
Is the reason you flee
Always to the same place"

Bobs voice starts this song with echoes and backwards fades and a guitar comes onto the horizon. Then the song kicks in with the classic fuzzed up guitar, bass and drum sound of classic Pollard. We even have time for a small Solo. Good song.
