lyrics
They came in fast, yet they came discretely
You entered last, but entered completely
And the words you sang were the words I sang to you
The draft blew cold and the stage was creaking
The crowd droned on, and their chairs were squeaking
Peaking from stage right, you hoped they would hush for you
The outcome neared, but it wasn’t certain
You shook in fear as they drew the curtain
And the music played, it was playing just for you
Your act was short, the third verse was missing
But you made it through via strategic kissing
Had you asked for more, I’d have written it for you
But you never asked, you just took what lay there
To always be yours and forever stay there
Till you ran away — was that exit meant for you?
And the circus was in town
And you asked if you could join them
Still wearing your pageant gown
As you pressed against the boredom
But they never knew and they never could
The greater pain of the greater good
So they packed their tents and went on their way
While you and the mud would forever stay
You left it there till the final hour
You left it dying, but it still had power
And it cried in pain, it was crying out for you
Just you

NSPS is…
John “High-Road” Howa
Jeremy Mathews
Sarah “Spark-Plug” Morton Taggart
Steve “Not-So-Naïve” Taggart
Withered Hand is quieter and more straight-forward than NSPS, but shares a certain outlook. Dan Willson is one of the best songwriters around—he can make you smile and tear up in the same rhyme. NSPS
In addition to making me feel better by taking (almost?) as long as NSPS to finish a new album, swo17 washes over you with rich sonic textures. Become one with the music. NSPS
