Sunken Boat 04:17
fell out of bed fought off a smoke
 nothing was said
 can't remember a note
 ran out of bad luck
 on the wrong side of my mind nothing she said stuck at least nothing so kind 
when the ocean washes over me I'm gonna have the sun in my eyes
 you can roll to the left or the right live with that question all night figure out what you're gonna sing turn around and say what you mean won't mean a goddamn thing

 self inflated 
hollow quote 
simple frustration 
sinking boat
 when the ocean washes over me I'm gonna have the sun in my eyes
 you can roll to the left or the right live with that question all night figure out what you're gonna sing turn around and say what you mean won't mean a goddamn thing 
 fell back in bed 
whispering broke 
laid down arms
 set afloat
 when the ocean washes over me I'm gonna have the sun in my eyes
 you can roll to the left or the right live with that question all night figure out what you're gonna sing turn around and say what you mean won't mean a goddamn thing

about

To err is human, and The Humanaires do not try to dispute this eventuality. Their self-titled debut album was almost entirely recorded in marathon fashion over one day in Nashville at the marvelous Welcome to 1979 Studio by Neil O'Neil. Using all analog gear, playing live onto 2" tape, and, for the most part, keeping the 1st take, warts and all, have all led to a very authentic and organic sound. Lots and lots of harmony vocals were later added back at headquarters in Grassy Cove, TN, along with wurlitzer and synthesizer, which add depth and dimension to the record.

Eclecticism abounds here, from the wide-ranging lyrics to the distinct sound of one tune from the next, not to mention the swapping back and forth of lead vocal duties between John Bristow and Ben Nakdimen. With their homespun, heartfelt songs, the band's style falls somewhere, never so neatly, between indie rock and Appalachia.
