lyrics

Now that you're in the room, I have an excuse
To talk to myself about the things I like
'Cause all your tastes, they taste the same as mine

Thank you for keeping me sane
'Cause otherwise I'd be talking to the wall

Can you hear me?
Yes, you hear me
I'm glad to think you hear me

Now that you're in the car, I have an excuse
To drive to the houses I hope to someday own
They're big and look, some of them are for sale

I bet I could talk them down and then
Maybe after that
You and I can chat

Let's together, you and me
Have a soliloquy
You could be anyone
Let’s talk about me

Now that you're in my head, I have an excuse
To shout about whatever I've imagined you've done wrong
I'm feeling bad and you're the one who's here

Hey, somebody's looking through the blinds
Turn off the lights, stay inside, hide
And don't answer the door

And let's together, you and me
Have a soliloquy
Track down the enemy
With a map of my feelings

Now that you’re in the room
I have my excuse
To talk to myself

becoming home
by Monica Laytham

This folkie-gospel-soul record was made in my home studio! Monica's got a way with words. Well, that and melodies. Oh, and harmonies too. Seriously, just stop reading this and go listen already. Laura Wallace

At the Estuary
by Third

A fine work of orchestral folk! This trio writes killer arrangements. It's one of those albums where you hear new nuances every time. So, you won't get tired of it, like, ever. Laura Wallace
