lyrics
Oh sick
Morning is apocalyptic
And you miss
When all you wanted was
Love from a distance
It tugs and tears
Until the world is bare and
The naked day parades
I held you in a strange place
But your appreciation lay like the sun across my face
Raw revelation in split seconds of grace
And if All those were days of gold
At the time we just didn’t know
Walked around like bashful ghosts
Sweat all summer under my famous green raincoat
Stay up late, watch the news, practice weird ironic dance moves
If those were years of gold no-one told me and you
Do you think of me
As a set of stone formations
A constellation
Something held in space unchanging
A distant beacon, A blister bleeding
Dry dirt receiving thirstily
Swelling in heat like mercury
A time and a place that you’re glad that you caught until
It constrains the perspective on
A friendship you mourn still
If those were days of gold
At the time we didn’t know
Waiting for your wings to grow
You were going to fly all the way to Tokyo
Nothing stops you nothing scares you
I try my best to meet you there
If those were days of gold no we didn’t care
With your touch I have become obsessed
My head is delicate
From the top of the stairs I can still smell the sweat
We are Miraculous freak accidents
We are blessed
Nothing matters, think about sex yes
There is a chaos that only comes
To every living thing once
Indifferent to your unmade connections
Then in a second is gone
If those were days of gold
At the time we didn’t know
What crystallised in brittle snow was always going to
Melt back in to the heat and smoke
And me I pray out loud
It’s basically all I do now
Those were days of gold I just found out

All music by ME REX, recorded by Rich Mandell.
saw this live when they were performing with Jeff Rosenstock. The Goosebumps from seeing the pure emotion in the finale was so raw and passionate. it made me appreciate being able to attend live music again! vvilko
A hushed and low-lit EP from this Melbourne musician, where dreamlike melodies drift across a bed of tender guitar. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 19, 2023
Lovely album, Fresh have really honed their sound without losing the joy of the early stuff. The album runs to about half an hour, which I also like (cf. It's a shame about Ray). Sam Baguley
