NJ I've been singing Uninterrupted Black to myself since I heard the version on youtube a while ago, and every one of these tracks has a melody or a line that'll stick in your brain. Just a bunch of lovely, incredible tunes. Favorite track: Uninterrupted Black.

ladytobinofthelake I love it when I'm suddenly invested in an album after only the first 5 seconds of hearing the first track. That doesn't always happen, but it happened with Partial Magic. This music feels like hope and glitter sparkling amid these dark, and isolating times. Favorite track: Partial Magic.

You are going to be so happy soon. I feel it. You’re going to have to explain joy to the rest of us losers. Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh You are tearing free from your cocoon And flapping off to outerspace Just in time for the holiday... and despite the way I ruined it I still remember christmas As something crazy that we did When you heard me say that I was in love with you Each year I get a little bit Less terrified to ask forgiveness And I haven’t done it yet, but I’ve wanted to I can get along with despicable liars Dirty little men who have nothing to offer me And I’m happy to yield to their disgusting desires Cause I’m not scared Their love is ever going to mean Anything to me I’m quite immune. Thank you jesus! I’m not about to fall in love Like that again Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I just want to feel as flat as a cartoon The way you used to draw my face. Also I just want to say, Despite the way I ruined it I still remember christmas As something crazy that we did Where I got to say that I was in love with you Each year I get a little bit Less terrified to beg forgiveness And I haven’t done it yet, but I’m going to. And I haven't done it yet, but I'm going to.

Do you think that I’m a rainbow? Or the blossom of an aster flower? Don't get sucked in by the light show. Just focus on the sound of thunder For though you find me Awfully charming I am a scoundrel And a hazard to your health And while it would be Quite disarming If you should love me I don’t see who that would help I only notice your emotions To gather up the firepower To orchestrate explosions And paint the sky with light and color But I hope you See what I do: That I am a psycho who just Likes to smell things burning And what I’ve shown you Is just a preview Of the inferno that I’ve Got planned out for myself. So you might wanna take one step back Before the firework burns to ashes And leaves the sky an uninterrupted black Because you’re about to be so lost Do you even know where you are? You’re a needle in a haystack On the spot where my lightning flashes And I’m a pyromaniac. I’m a pyromaniac... And I'd still like a chance To light you up I'd still like a chance To light you up And though you’re really quite attractive and so nearly close to perfect for me I think it might be Unproductive If you were everything i ever hoped you would be So you might wanna take one step back Before the firework burns to ashes And leaves the sky an uninterrupted black You’re about to be so lost How could you let me take it this far? You’re a needle in a haystack On the spot where my lightning flashes And I’m a pyromaniac. I’m a pyromaniac. I’m a pyromaniac. I’m a pyroo ooooghgughg.

I’ve been sleepless for days Looking out for a sign For the line of your gaze To make contact with mine I’ve been waiting for something new to happen with me and you but it never does and if i still want it to it’s only because my head is still full of light and i don’t know why I like you so much i can’t meet your eye i shrink from your touch I wanted you here with me to comfort me endlessly but you wouldn’t budge you were a fantasy that’s all that it was my head was full of light Gasp! so when i wake up the world will go dark and you will dissolve barely leaving a mark we’ll say our goodbyes and then i’ll open my eyes and then I’ll open my eyes I’ll open my eyes

With so little to be sure of If there's anything at all If there's anything at all I'm sure of here, and now, and us together. All I'll ever be, I'll owe you If there's anything to be. Being sure enough of you Makes me sure enough of me. Thanks for everything we did. Everything that's past. Everything that's over to fast. None of it was wasted. All of it will last. Everything that's here, and now, and us together. It was marvelous to know you And it isn't really through. Crazy business this, this life we live in Can't complain about the time we're given. With so little to be sure of in this world We had a moment. A marvelous moment. A marvelous moment. A beautiful time. I need you more than I can say. I need you more than just today. I guess I need you more than you need me, And yet, I'm happy.

Whatever happened to Christmas? It's gone and left no traces. Whatever happened to the faces all aglow? Whatever happened to Christmas? To Christmas ways of living? Whatever happened to the giving? The magic in the snow? Remember the sights, and smells, and sounds Remember the cheery call... Remember how love was all around? Whatever happened to it all? Whatever happened to Christmas? Bells in the streets are ringing! Whatever happened to the singing Songs we used to know? Whatever happened to Christmas When it disappeared from view? Where was I, And whatever happened to you>? And you?
