This is a band I saw in Manayunk's Main Street Music back before fall 2015. Some summer around then. Blew my mind. I urgently live texted the entire experience to a friend whose wedding I just now, in 2021, officiated. In some ways this is a fitting song about going forward in life, losing, and keeping on. I couldn't find the lyrics on line, which are really tender, so I thought I would type them up here and post them before putting them on other sites. Enjoy. If you like it, throw them a dollar. They broke up in 2016, but then had a project called Parting Lines, which might have also broken up, because the guy, Trevor Beld Jimenez, is now doing solo stuff. In ratio to how much I enjoy their music to how famous they are, they're probably up at the top with Nick Corbo of Spirit Was who I've talked to once and was also a really nice guy, artist, and musician. Good people. Good world out there.
Losing it -- Tall Tales & The Silver Lining
[Verse]
Late last night on an open road
Where the wind blows through your hair
We was talking bout the past
And all the friends who've come and gone
And lost themselves out there
Where the years go by too fast
[Chorus]
But I ain't losing it
No, nothings gonna change,
I ain't losing it,
Like people often do.
There's a lot inside this tomb.
And I ain't losing it.
[Verse 2]
Late last night on a moonlit drive
Where the highway ebbs and flows
We were counting down the ways
How all the friends we've ever loved
Who lost themselves out there
In search of better days
[Chorus]
But I ain't losing it
No nothing's gonna change
I ain't losing it
Like people often do
There's a lot inside this tomb
And I ain't losing it.
[Refrain]
I ain't losing it.
I ain't losing it.
I ain't losing it.
