Down Down Down For Now Settle Down Instead Panic Underwater Album Preview: Small Tales free It's a logical progression, but thematically the songs take a slightly different turn.
While Tall Tales is about reflecting on growing up and finding peace in that, Small Tales is really about the insecurities that are always going to follow us, no matter how old and wise we become.
In some ways, we are always going to feel small in the world, and constantly trying to find our own place in it. What does it mean to settle? How do we choose between logical choices and what our heart tells us to do? These seem to be inescapable questions at any age" says guitarist Jordan Stewart. Main songwriter and vocalist TJ Foster continues, "There were a lot of different themes present on Tall Tales, but the overarching concept was about finding a way to deal with uncertainty as we grow and learn.
Each song on Small Tales continue to expand on that concept, each in different ways. Whether it's a couple figuring out how to get past their own personal insecurities on 'Down Down Down,' a middle-aged man longing for his youth but realizing he has to let go on 'Settle Down Instead' or choosing to ignore the existential questions about what may or may not be after this life on 'For Now,' the message is simple: time flies, take nothing for granted.
Leave your worries in the ground and you can join them when you're good and ready. Tall Tales offered even more depth, color and relatability with the sheer honesty behind every note, melody and lyric making such a strong impression on all who listened. Small Tales is no less of an achievement, cementing Accent's position in the overall indie rock lineup, solidifying "indie folk" as both a mindset and a sound. This record will hit you hard. A masterpiece. Extraordinarily creative, completely sincere.
Sheer honesty and sincerity. Divide The shelter I have is not enough for where we are The moon hides its face every night, afraid to die The calendar tells us to wait inside our cage I'll laugh as they send me to hell for what I've done The frames on the walls they come right down And the light seeping through warms the ground We carried ourselves to the rooms we were born in But the doctors had nothing to say on a planned escape I followed a hole in the earth to wait it out The flames came to eat us alive and here we are The frames on the walls they come right down And the light seeping through warms the ground The lines in the sand are all that's left Of our divided land, so now we rest.
Way Out I'm digging my way out for you I'll find a hole and pummel through To try and change the moon from half to full to new I've been underneath for weeks Finding ways to punish me For acting like a child here You say, "All eyes on me, don't you leave for anything" And the room is yours 'Cus I've seen a lot of simple things that keep a heart from fluttering through an open door I think we oughta level out the sound There's beauty in the unannounced So darling, hear me out: "I'll never let you down" It's hard enough for two When time takes a hold of you and turns you upside down You say, "All eyes on me, don't you leave for anything" And the room is yours 'Cus I've seen a lot of simple things that keep a heart from fluttering through an open door We carry a weight I can't ignore Love is just an open sore waiting for air Clearly I was too fucked up, but now I know I have enough in this time we share.
The Fog There's a silence, like an empty sheet of paper that I stare at And the sunlight, it gets weaker as we crawl along the foreground Do you remember the fog? This is my heart It's the only artifact that I've held onto The music brings me back; I've waited long enough to find out this is where I want to be Not the letters that I never sent to home when I was growing A simple poetry, so many lines that I can't let go to waste, to waste Do you remember the fog? Do you remember the fall?
We miss it after all. Storms There's a hole in our chests that tells me love is no victor. It stays where it is and then heads south just for the winter. All the birds in the sky watch it float on home to its kingdom. I know there's a storm that will find us all. The sun's beating high while the moon's on the opposite side. Like a couple of lovers who sleep well half of the night.
The thrills come and go but you can't let the boredom surround you. Yes, I know there's a heart that could warm us all. It's all just a game, though improperly played by my standards. The penalties fall from the lips of innumerable cowards.
If you were a friend, then where the hell have you been? God I know there's a love that will find us all. And god I know there's a love that will find us all. With The Light Fall in line, far behind Gone is the light Our pace is quick We plant our kiss Steady into the night Leave your sin behind The fever spreads A panicked trend Heads hang in the night The dead hang in the night The kids left with the light.
Alright With Me video. There's a light on from underneath our doorway Like the light that still flickers in your head I won't blame you for trying to find darkness That's alright with me If you climb down from where your heart escaped you We could travel the world in second hand I'll try keeping the devil in the rearview If that's alright with you We'll fade into it Put our faith into it I've got this company that pulls me from my seat If I'm alright for you, I'm alright for me, I'm alright I've been wandering for years among the statues Of beings with much more sense than I But time isn't endless and it could leave us soon So if you're alright with me, I'm alright with me.
The Low I fell behind within a version of myself I drew a map so you would know where to go Like waves ashore I tried to drown out the sound Of all the voices spilling, "You should've known" It sounded like a lake was forming in me So I built a raft for you to navigate around Uncharted land is such an opportunity Like when your voice starts singing "Don't let me down" That was not the changed man I want to be If you swim your way to me and lay your body down in my hands I'll show you who I am, you'll be in all my plans I'll have a lot to say if not too late Because every time I try to make a better life and focus on the good, I start to weep Once my head allows, I'll put both feet on the ground with you I see the low again I let your love come in I am the low again.
Around We were talking for months the same, in a way When I got to thinking about the pain So many fools change every day I saw my future become my past - are there things to save? They keep comin' around We were talking for months the same, in a way Then I got to thinking about the games so many fools play Would you say there's a science to closing doors or unlocking them? They'll keep comin' around Somehow it seems that all of our plans are dead where they stand Somewhere there will be a place for the meek to grow tall and be seen So now I know apathy, 'cus it's been a friend to me There's nowhere to go now but down And I'm all out of compliments Your heart's the contraband I'll leave you with higher ground.
Routine Movements Sorrow Sorrow's a weight I know that you've said the same Our arms get weaker with aging So lover, I know it never strikes only once Because time teases all of us You can't be the one if I am not for you Heaven's around in a most unlikely place If we run, we might miss it So put on your shoes with the laces extra tight Because we've got a world left to cover You can't be the one No, you can't be the one Don't wait 'til tomorrow, let's turn this sorrow into steam Because this time that we've borrowed, it amounts to more than what we need.
Seeds Bonus Follow the wolves, give them your hand. Tell them to quit and get out while they can. But they won't; it's so much easier to die. Swallow the air that tickles your neck. Throw your head back and refuse to forget. That we all change before we know. And we all repent before we go. Borrow a map, get to the coast. The water is warm but it's deeper than most. And they're all diving to get clean. So you'll be a brighter human than me. And you're here to water the seeds you've sewn.
I live for surprises like this. It's quite stunning how brilliantly Growth And Squalor is constructed They take risks on up-tempo rockers like "Routine Movements" and "Divide," while also demonstrating they can piece together stripped-down, emotion-laden tunes like "Storms" and "The Low.
But it is the last track on the record that truly dictates Accents are much more than a one-trick pony. The words make you keep coming back, continually revisiting the album as if it were a call to action for the disillusioned, the jaded and the hopeless.
But you'll find comfort in these songs no matter how you feel because of the worn, almost surrendering authenticity to it all. Accents has a masterful ability to juxtapose themes of frustration and detachment so perfectly with hopefulness and encouragement, leaving you content in the peace that indeed
