The Ride

by Lily Taylor

/
  • Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    THE TEXAN EXPERIMENTAL POP CHANTEUSE LILY TAYLOR CRAFTS A SUPPLE, LIMINAL ALBUM OF ABSTRACT SONG MATCHED WITH TWINKINGLY ELECTRONICS AND ROSY DRONESCAPING. THESE SONGS ARE THE CANDY COLORED VARIATIONS ON MUCH OF THE NARCOTIZED LULLABIES THAT LIZ HARRIS AND RACHEL EVANS HAVE BEEN CONJURING IN RECENT YEARS. TAYLOR KEEPS THE WASH AND THE SLUMBERING BLUR, BUT ARRANGES HER SONGS WITH THE SOFT ELECTRONIC PATTER OF TWINKLED, SIMPLE MELODIES THAT COULD EASILY BE MISTAKEN FOR SOMETHING OFF OF APHEX TWIN'S SELECTED AMBIENT WORKS VOL II. HER FULLBODIED VOICE EXTENDS WELL BEYOND THIS BED OF ELECTRONICS, GETTING LOOPED, LAYERED, AND TREATED THROUGH VARIOUS EFFECTS, OFTEN BECOMING A MIASMA OF SELF-HARMONIZING REPETITIONS AND CHORALES, ALL LUSH AND ETHEREAL.

Miss It 06:45
I work off the chord Left my tools out on the road way And I'm back to pick em up again I work off the word Taking lines of rhythm and rhyme Can't sit back ride the norm I'd miss it, miss it, miss it all I work off the light Focused laser light Helps me to walk through These fires I'm drawn to So I wont miss it, miss it, miss it all Left my tools out on the road way And I'm back to pick em up again

Thought this for a long time Long across the hills that bind Wonder what we leave behind In the places that we hide Just slow it down Maybe we can catch our breath Maybe we can find All, all what's in between you and me Seen it, seen it from the rooftops Hear it, hear it through town talk And, all what's in between you and me Thought this for a long time Long across the hills that bind I wonder if we ever find Just what it is we leave behind Just what it is we leave behind

Taste 04:05
The sun is slipping to sleep beneath the waves My heart is dripping from words you let embrace your tongue But I wouldn't mind a taste What's that there you got buried in the sand? What's that there you tryin' to get back to land? Your head the glass tossed amongst the waves Your head the glass tossed amongst the waves But I wouldn't mind a taste Somehow you know when I'm freezing Somehow you know when my ego needs teasing Somehow you know what's just beyond this plane Somehow you know how to build me back up again But I wouldn't mind a taste ... These are the language of waves ... These are ... Your head the glass tossed amongst the waves ... These are ...

Taxi 05:02
Downtown in taxi, in the back seat I fell, I fell out ...

Reap 03:44
Parisian man, circus man says I play it too safe, thinks I should channel the grave, but he don't know : Death won't let me sleep, she won't let me keep my hours to my self All the splendor of the Slender FACTS(F), "Totally Unknown" I had to tell him : What he's looking for hasn't grown, it hasn't grown But we reap what we sow Music man, speakeasy man, says I play it too safe, thinks I should channel the grave, but he don't know : Death won't let me sleep, she won't let me keep my hours to myself So, let's go, let's go

Ride 03:37
St. Ignatius hear our call Grow our garden nice and tall Back that shit up off the wall Be sure you're not the one to let if fall "When I ride, when I ride, when I ride down Cerrillos in the nighttime" When I ride, when I ride, when I ride, with Raul by side St. Ignatius hear our call Grow our garden nice and tall Back that flower up off the wall Be sure you're not the one to let if fall "When I ride, when I ride, when I ride down Cerrillos in the nighttime" When I ride, when I ride, when I ride with Melissa by side

Apples and cinnamon ... Teaching him how to swim ... Dog wood down the driveway, Hold the idea til the next day ... Through the backyard, past the garden, We'll build a fire, we'll keep it burning, And through the burning we'll learn 'bout beauty And how not to fall in the well How not to fall in the well .... Hold your name ... Through the backyard, past the garden, We'll build a fire, we'll keep it burning, And through the burning, we'll learn 'bout beauty And how not to fall in the well ... Apples and cinnamon ...

Chinatown 05:45
Tell me when the water is dry not knee-high ... Gotta book a show, gotta post a show, gotta make a show, gotta book a show, down at The Lipo (Lounge), down at the The Lipo Gotta meet with Joe, gotta meet with Joe, maybe after 2 or so, maybe we could meet up at Sam Wo, after the Lipo I can hardly wait ... Tell me what you see when you look at me, tell me what see, do you see me, do you see LT, can you see me? Help me give a hand, help me lend a hand, help me give a hand, help me take a hand, tell me who I am, who I am I can hardly wait ... Chinatown ... Tell when the water is dry, when the water is dry not knee-high ...

Fade 03:45
Kindly say nothing and turn away from what they say Separate all that is a wash and let it fade Fade away Satiate those who want to help you with your fate Safe to say not all can see the ways in which we play Babies can wait My baby can wait
