a green shoot pricks up and instantly boils in the sun. hull creeks signal bitter new depths, and briefly the floor falls out. change is inevitable and irreversible (try to find some joy).
lyrics
A MIRACLE
you’re a miracle
you’re like a burning torch
and you made me burn
and now I’m charred
it’s so hard
you’re so wonderful
lord knows where you came from
came from nowhere
and now you’re gone
it’s so hard
and now you’re gone there’s only me
hard and homely on these streets
bless the day you come and the day you leave
still
(you’re a miracle)
and I can’t change back
and I can’t change back no more
it’s for sure
you’re a miracle
you’re like a shining hand
that touched me once
and never again
it’s so hard
you’re unfathomable
does anybody know?
I couldn’t see you coming
I can’t watch you go
it’s so hard
and now you’re gone there’s only me
curse the day you come and the day you leave
still
(you’re a miracle)
and I can’t change back
and I can’t change back no more
it’s for sure
All sorts of punk musics collide in this one. There are still melodies and hooks, but they are someimes dissonant wthin the same track. However, that dissonance ismastered enough that the whole is something you should listen to. Thibaut Devigne
From despair and grief to optimism, the subdued electronic compositions on the latest from Opus form a moving narrative. Bandcamp New & Notable Dec 3, 2023
