These two men while not related lived like brothers shared one heart
So much that their blood relations could scarcely tell these men apart
One spring morning while out riding they found a man along their path
A wealthy merchant cart turned over, scattered gold and broken back
Every one of us
All of us, all of us
We are all capable of evil and righteousness
Our hearts are as the moon as the moon
Always a bright side and the darkness too
A fortune piled up for the taking
Each man wondered to himself of principle of consequence
Of a life with so much wealth
The first stepped forward, his eyes flashing
He drew his sword and killed the man
The other stood struck with horror at the actions of his friend
Brother have you lost your senses?
Murder for a bag of gold?
I’d sooner strike you down myself than live with this upon my soul
The killer, overcome with passion, lashed out at his honest friend
Who drew his sword in disbelief and killed him in his own defense
Every one of us
All of us, all of us
We are all capable of evil and righteousness
Our hearts are as the moon as the moon
Always a bright side and the darkness too
A fantastic album. I can see why they didn't continue under the name The Evens, as it's a different sound with the bass added. Coriky is the Evens + Joe Lally from Fugazi on bass. If you can imagine The Evens with a slightly more funky, aggressive sound like Fugazi... that's what you get! And there's no way that can ever go wrong. What a great debut album!! smiledozer
Father John Misty is so good to listen to when I want to relax. My cat used to seem to like the music too, and we would both chill and listen to the FJM vinyls I own. This album on bandcamp was a nice FJM treat. Michelle May
