up/down 03:44
somewhere, feel like i'm going nowhere all i got is this stupid chair the sunshine's on time today your clock winds the right way faded waiting for the weekend for the time to sleep in i'm looking at you up down looking at you right now please don't tell me! two lines stretched across my forehead etched across my big bed circles underneath my eyeballs darker than the mind falls wasted waiting for the weekend for the time to sleep in i'm looking at you up down looking at you right now please don't tell me! i don't want to feel anything at all (lyrics by hava horowitz and martha schnee)

coward 03:00
i only want you when you don't want me you only want me when i don't want you i made you call yourself a coward i made a shrine of dead flowers i made you call yourself a liar oh... i'm so tired! when i come you go when i go you come when i rage i run when i'm brave you run it's a secret underlayer 'til your breath's all out (lyrics by martha schnee)

atonement 03:41
speak softly when nobody's home being with you is like being alone clicking tongues and silence in the sun i finally hear it now i'm on my own dusty weather flea market debris when there’s no fire there’s no light i can’t see baby i've got a lot i want to say it's hard to write it's hard to find the way the way up there can you hear me up these flights of stairs help me reach myself on the high shelf five foot six standing with two hands tiny room tucked away above the stairs i hear the sigh i leave a trace i feel the hairs grab the ladder lean it on the wall rung by rung don't look down you might fall (lyrics by hava horowitz)

blood 01:40
soft spy body release body incomplete blood rich resolution blood rich red rich day one (lyrics by martha schnee)
5.
sorry i’ve forgotten your name already it’s 8 am that feeling when you wake up in reality where are we? two naked strangers holding each other tightly but don't freak out this mask stays on so i cover up my mouth show me your show me your face i'll show you mine if you show me your sorry for arriving late into my body what’s the rush? lipstick smile, eyebrows drawn, cheeks coated with blush and who am i caught between urges and my deeper desires see right through your flesh to a place I wish i knew show me your show me your face i'll show you mine if you show me your (lyrics by hava horowitz)

walking 00:48
walking walking with my feet i can go anywhere with my feet when i walk walk walk walk i use my feet when i walk walk walk walk i use my feet (lyrics by martha schnee)

instinct 03:03
do i need a reason is it such a crime must i set an example of you or will you stop wasting my time in your favorite sweater that ended up in the lost and found i walked through the door when i when i should have turned around i've got an instinct an instinct to play dead i've got an instinct to stare at the clouds in my head in my empty bed playing dead i've got an instinct to play dead i've got an instinct to stare at the clouds in my head in my empty bed playing dead do i need an escape route searching for the exit sign must i craft a whole fuckin plan or will you let me make up my mind in your furnished basement with the cool concrete walls i lost track of time laying facedown faceup on the floor i've got an instinct an instinct to play dead i've got an instinct to stare at the clouds in my head in my empty bed playing dead i've got an instinct to play dead i've got an instinct to stare at the clouds in my head in my empty bed playing dead (lyrics by hava horowitz)

pebble 03:33
i got a little itty bitty pretty pebble and i wanna give it to... i got a little itty bitty pretty pebble and it's stuck under my... there's a space between our faces there's a tension right here it separates us feels like rock sedimentary molten lava rock bottom possibility rock bottom's just a pebble underneath my toes give the people you live a hug and a kiss a little cheek little hair whatever i don't care i got this little itty bitty pretty pebble and i wanna give it to... i got this little itty bitty pretty pebble and it's stuck under my... where is it (here) do you have it (there) nothing feels better (nothing feels better) pebble in my shoe (pebble in my shoe) i got this little itty bitty pretty pebble and i wanna give it to... i got this little itty bitty pretty pebble and it's stuck all in my... what if i got to know ya got to look into your eyeball coulda toldja nothing's wrong with being alive and when you look into someone else's eyes you can only look at one eye at a time so what eye are you going to choose what eye are you going to choose are you going to look at the left ojo or the right ojo i don't know i don't know but i really wanna know i got this little little itty bitty pebble and i wanna give it to... i got a pretty little itty bitty pebble and it's stuck all in my head (lyrics by hava horowitz and martha schnee)

about

the eight tracks here are offerings held out by long-limbed friendship.

at the start of the covid-19 pandemic, friends who had met 15 years earlier as high school freshmen found themselves together again and picked up new instruments to deal with this new situation. their shared moments became songs, and as the world opened the songs became performances.

people came to hear and sidebody became a band: guitar, drums, bass, and voice, speaking to each other with the spark and stumble of newness and the fluidity of years.

to us, this album is a dried flower: what came of a deep-planted seed that built strength in the dark and spent it in the sun. in the end, the only option was to press it. if you breathe in deep you can smell what it was.
