lyrics

I never liked the Nitehawk but we had to see “Mandy”
Nick Cage on our first date it was a violent killing spree
Cut to Christmas we both chose to skip our families
We had a blast at “The House That Jack Built” makin’ out in front of IFC
Just you and me

We caught a screening of “Akira” and you got mad I fell asleep
We tried to watch “The Game” in bed but you couldn’t keep your hands off me
We cracked up at “Glengarry Glen Ross” while we ate takeout Chinese
And though we tried a hundred times we never made it through “The King of Comedy”
We never did, did we?

So if I knew then what I know now I would have tried to save a piece of him
I would have tried to take it all in I would have tried to capture us like film

Sadly that’s the end of the story
The guts and the glory
All mixed in to dazzling effect
I’ll stick around for the next show
‘Cuz after the credits roll
All I wanna do…is see you again

We saw “Crash” at Metrograph you know Cronenberg’s my fave
I got you that Kubrick book for your 26th birthday
We watched both “Suspiria”s and we agreed the new one’s great
That pirate stream of “Uncut Gems” really hit the spot hungover New Years Day
We had it made

So if I knew then what I know now I would have lied and held everything in
We’d be broken by next award season I shoulda tried to put us down on film

Sadly that’s the end of the story
The guts and the glory
All mixed in to dazzling effect
I’ll stick around for the next show
‘Cuz after the credits roll
All I wanna do…is see you again

See you again

We deserve Criterion ‘cuz our edition is a disgrace
Take me back like “Rashomon” I need a short cut to that place
It’s been a year and 13 moons have I filled you with contempt?
The seasons change and magnolias bloom but will you ever love me again?

If I knew then what I know now I woulda tried to save a piece of him
I would have tried to drink it all in I woulda tried to commit it all to film

Sadly that’s the end of the story
The guts and the glory
All mixed in to dazzling effect
I’ll stick around for the next show
‘Cuz after the credits roll
All I wanna do…is see you again

See see see see you again

Cartoon Network will always be my favorite for the pure trauma venting, but Music... Music makes me cry every time I listen. I want to say both are my favorite, but Bandcamp sucks ass lol danijayy

Raven
by Kelela

supported by 9 fans who also own “Film”

Raven is gentle, the rhythms are like a breath brushing the surface of the skin, the music has the consistency of a cloud, weighless, no sweat here or grit, effortless glide, as heavy as a memory or fleeting as a thought. boogiedroid

(23) I FEEL YOU EVERYWHERE
by metagirl

Heartfelt without being cloying and playful while delving below the surface, the lo-fi indie of Metagirl embraces chaos and contradiction. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 7, 2023

i found my foot :)
by bly wallentine

Wonderfully absurdist pop songs that manage the tricky balance of humor and hookiness—The Exquisite Corpse as ’60s pop. Bandcamp New & Notable Dec 4, 2022

Shamir
by Shamir

supported by 8 fans who also own “Film”

This album is so different than anything Shamir has released in their discography. It's more pop rock than anything before this. I can see myself jamming to this live at a festival. But we can't do that, so a festival at home while playing this album will have to do. Stand out tracks include On My Own, Pretty When I'm Sad, Diet & In this Hole. Josh Tinker
