about
The only older song on the EP, this was written when Yoo Soo and I were playing together in college, but I never could quite finish it. I find both hope and sadness in the chorus lyrics "I know you won't let me down" b/c it's a recognition of love and also a recognition of distance. I like this as an ending to this EP b/c there's an acceptance and a look over the horizon. Plus it took 12 years and we finally finished the damn song, so there's hope there somewhere. - Jesse
lyrics
I saw white ghosts on the beach running out of view
At dusk butterflies creep into your stomach too
When under the knife what dreams may come to you?
You were gone before the wind even knew
I know you, you, you won’t let me down
I know you, you, won’t let me down
Addicted to distance and waiting to shoot
Till the nightmare is over, over for you
And when lightning strikes twice in a lifetime it may be too soon
Cutting you open and bleeding through
I know you, you, you won’t let me down
I know you, you, you won’t let me down
There must be something in your blood
‘Cause there’s not much more I can do
It’s biologically burned in, and it’s burned into you
Like a noose ‘round your soft neck, slowly choking you
The white ghosts on the beach running after you
I know you, you, you won’t let me down
I know you, you won’t let me down
I know you, you, you won’t let me down
I know you, you, you won’t let me down

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
