Name: Forever 'Til I Die
Duration: P00H02M43S
Description: This is a sister song to Lost to Slime, about trading your life away for the life you wanna make. The original version I wrote had the chorus as a bridge, but Yoo Soo suggested making it the focal point of the song and it really pulled everything together. I like the dark, tongue in cheek death at the very end. - Jesse

lyrics

The forces on me now
Make it hard to brave
Do you trade your life away
For the life you wanna make?
As it all goes up in flames
Makes more sense to me now
No help is on the way
And there’s no way out
So take your turn and burn

I don’t wanna make the one mistake
That I can’t take back
But the habit’s hard to break
And this time I wanna make
The most if I can’t make it last

As the fields are catching fire
And we’re clearing out the way
All it takes is one desire
To destroy in the light of day

I don’t wanna make the one mistake
That I can’t take back
When the world is waking up
And the future’s looking rough
The work is never done
And the war is never won
No I don’t wanna make the one mistake
That I can’t take back
Take back, take back, take back

So take your turn and
Burn it up forever, forever ‘til we die
Scraping it together, forever ‘til we die
Annoying me forever, forever ‘til I die
Literally forever, forever ‘til I

Let’s say for a moment, The Jayhawks wrote the score for a David Lynch movie - a little country, a little rock, and a dark introspective feel that is both joyous and melancholy. This is Dreamjacket, the musical blanket you wrap yourself in to drift off into a shoegazey fog of bliss. Tuck in and listen. ... more
