Van Dyke Parks
&
Brother, Sister
From ANDRAS JONES: VAN DYKE PARKS is a big BROTHER, SISTER fan. He’s kind of a big deal himself. We’ve been trying to get him on the show ever since we started the Starburns podcast so it was with great joy that we welcomed him to the realm of The Pop Oracle.
Losing in a Landslide
“Go real slow,” is what you said that night
I never had a sense of time or pace
I only wanted to behold your grace
I’m fine with staying here, a tenant in your home
Where to now, aside from back in time?
This silent conversation never stopped
We picked it right back up where we left off
I think you’re faking it, when you act like you’ve grown
Don’t confuse my hope for false pride; I’m just an arrogant fool in love with you
We’re still losing in a landslide; I’m an illogical fool in love with you
I don’t care even if you don’t care
It’s in a photograph; it’s in a book
If you remember it’s my soul you took
It wasn’t only me, but I’m the one here now
Come with me and let me take you back
Into an anxious, devastating place
That we feel fondly about despite our shame
And tell me if you’ve lived more than we did then
