- Love Songs for Losers on CD

Throughout their lifespan as a band, The Lone Bellow have cast an indelible spell with their finespun songs of hard truth and unexpected beauty, frequently delivered in hypnotic three-part harmony. In a departure from their past work with elite producers like Aaron Dessner of The National and eight-time Grammy-winner Dave Cobb, the Nashville-based trio struck out on their own for their new album Love Songs for Losers, dreaming up a singular sound encompassing everything from arena-ready rock anthems to the gorgeously sprawling Americana tunes the band refers to as “little redneck symphonies.” Recorded at the possibly haunted former home of the legendary Roy Orbison, the result is an intimate meditation on the pain and joy and ineffable wonder of being human, at turns heartbreaking, irreverent, and sublimely transcendent.

Honey, I never call you honey Unless somebody’s watching I know it drives you crazy Baby, I reach out for your hand I know You’ll probably try to let it go Get by all on your own, baby Walkin’ out in the middle of the street now In the middle of the night Where we used to go When we didn’t know better Honey, I never call you honey Unless I’m feelin’ lonely Or I’m just being lazy Baby, you like to let the night time come You’re not afraid to be alone You know that drives me crazy, baby Walkin’ out in the middle of the street now In the middle of the night Where we used to go When we didn’t know better Walkin’ out in the middle of the street now In the middle of the night Where we used to go When we didn’t know better I got the headlights off and the radio on Every window is down here comes that song We used to sing so loud at the top of our lungs Put the pedal to the floor let the darkness come I got the headlights off and the radio on Every window is down here comes that song We used to sing so loud at the top of our lungs Put the pedal to the floor let the darkness come I got the headlights off and the radio on Every window is down here comes that song We used to sing so loud at the top of our lungs Put the pedal to the floor let the darkness come Let the darkness come Walkin’ out in the middle of the street now In the middle of the night Where we used to go When we didn’t know better Walkin’ out in the middle of the street now In the middle of the night Where we used to go When we didn’t know better

This town’s too small for second chances Prom kings and queens and true romantics Main street on the auction block Let the window down, feel the wind Johnny put the paycheck in his arm Let the window down, let it in It’s in my blood, it’s in the water It’s calling me still I could leave, I know I oughta But there’s gold in them hills Gold, gold, gold Gold, gold, gold This town’s too small for second chances Prom kings and queens and true romantics True love found in parking lots Let the window down, let it in It’s gettin’ loud, they’ll call the cops Let the window down, feel the wind It’s in my blood, it’s in the water It’s calling me still I could leave, I know I oughta But there’s gold in them hills Gold, gold, gold Gold, gold, gold This town’s too small for second chances This town’s too small for second chances It’s in my blood, it’s in the water It’s calling me still I could leave, I know I oughta But there’s gold in them hills It’s in my blood, it’s in the water It’s calling me still I could leave, I know I oughta But there’s gold in them hills Gold, gold, gold Gold, gold, gold

4.	Cost Of Living 04:00	lyrics	buy track
How could you rob me blind When I thought I was a navigator I thought I could read the signs You were sending up flares Red and gold everywhere I remember my hand Thinking I had a chance Reaching out for a dance In the fiery air Now I can’t afford The cost of this living Your love was a luxury you took from me This poverty has made me so broken And I can’t afford the cost of living If you don’t pay me no attention I don’t know what grows From these tears that hit the ground No shoulder to cry on No comfort in the sound And I can’t afford The cost of this living Your love was a luxury you took from me This poverty has made me so broken And the debt of this loss Too heavy to mention Now I can’t afford the cost of living If you don’t pay me no attention And I can’t afford The cost of this living Your love was a luxury you took from me This poverty has made me so broken And the debt of this loss Too heavy to mention Now I can’t afford the cost of living If you don’t pay me no attention
5.	Dreaming 03:50	lyrics	buy track
Don’t wake me up Cause I’ve been dreamin’ Still look for you in crowds Manhattan sidewalks Parks in the summertime Don’t wake me up for a while Don’t wake me up Cause I’ve been dreamin’ Still look for you in crowds Traffic on the interstate Long walk home it’s getting late Don’t wake me up for a while How’s your brother How’s the weather where you are Still drive that beat up car Still wear your hair up when you’re nervous How’s your mother How’s that devil in your heart Still bite your nails when you’re angry Think of me when you’re lonely I do, I do, I do Don’t wake me up Cause I’ve been dreamin’ Still look for you in crowds Walkin’ that main street parade Another hot July fade Don’t wake me up for a while How’s your schemin’ How’s that city where you are Still drink too much when you’re fishin’ Think of me when you’re lyin’ How's your lover How's that devil in your heart He thinks he’s your one and only But you think of me when you’re lonely I do, I do, I do I do, I do, I do Oh I’m lyin’, lyin’ here with you all the time When I wake up, it’s just your memory by my side
6.	Move 03:35	lyrics	buy track
Don’t wanna watch the wonder leave you The spark die in your eye Tell yourself it’s too late anyhow What's the use of tryin’ Don’t wanna watch the worry take you See you reaching for your phone Looking for a better place in time A place that feels like home I want to see you move I want to see you dance I want to hear the shackles fall Watch you take another chance I want to see you sweep somebody off their feet Like the way you were made to be I want to see you move I want to see you move It’s been a minute since I’ve seen you Now we’re toasting to a friend You congratulate and celebrate But you’re still on the mend I want to see you move I want to see you dance I want to hear the shackles fall Watch you take another chance I want to see you sweep somebody off their feet Like the way you were made to be I want to see you move I want to see you sweep somebody off their feet Like the way you did with me I want to see you move I want to see you dance I want to hear the shackles fall Watch you take another chance I want to see you sweep somebody off their feet Like the way you were made to be I want to see you move I want to see you move
7.	Unicorn 04:06	lyrics	buy track
Never been good at saying the real thing I know I should but I’m bad at pretending I could say I love you but it’s such a bore I think God made a unicorn I was kinda thinkin’ I could tell you my feelings Sit you down and wreck you with some words that are pretty I could say I love you but I wanna say more I think God made a unicorn You, you make it easy To believe in what i can’t see I’m dreamin’ wide awake You came from another star Passing planets on the way Just a simple twist of fate Never been good at saying the real thing I know I should but I’m bad at pretending I could say I love you but it’s such a bore I think God made a unicorn I was kinda thinkin’ I could tell you my feelings Sit you down and wreck you with some words that are pretty I could say I love you but I wanna say more I think God made a unicorn I hope you get what I’m sayin’ Oh I can’t believe it With my own two eyes My own two eyes I hope you get what I’m sayin’ Oh I finally see it With my own two eyes My own two eyes Me I gave up on childish things Fairy tales were just for fools I was driving ten and two Love, love is a cosmic thing Thought I felt it in the past Now I’m finally lost at last Never been good at saying the real thing I know I should but I’m bad at pretending I could say I love you but it’s such a bore I think God made a unicorn I was kinda thinkin’ I could tell you my feelings Sit you down and wreck you with some words that are pretty I could say I love you but I wanna say more I think God made a unicorn I hope you get what I’m sayin’ Oh I can’t believe it With my own two eyes My own two eyes I hope you get what I'm sayin’ Oh I finally see it With my own two eyes My own two eyes
8.	Wherever Your Heart Is 04:01	lyrics	buy track
I’m gettin’ real good at talking to strangers Good with the silence and cussin’ in prayer It’s a long way to our house, we should get started I’ve seen the signs of tall tale danger What do you say when the words aren’t there It’s a long road to nowhere, we should get started We should get started I’m still searching for wherever your heart is We should get started Wherever your heart is I’m still searching for wherever your heart is We should get started Wherever your heart is You always told me to go where the light is Nobody showed you how to get there It’s a good time for trying to walk through the darkness We should get started I’m still searching for wherever your heart is We should get started Wherever your heart is I’m still searching for wherever your heart is We should get started Wherever your heart is Feels so good to know That there’s a little fight left There’s a little fight left in me Feels so good to know That by and by I am by your side By and by I am by your side By and by I am by your side By and by I am by your side I’m still searching for wherever your heart is We should get started Wherever your heart is I’m still searching for wherever your heart is We should get started Wherever your heart is
9.	Homesick 03:38	lyrics	buy track
I watched the sunset Through the grass blades The bats were coming in to dance on my street My jeans were still wet From catching crawdads And all the lightning bugs were lightning just to be It’s a short life, but it’s a good life For my family and me If you’re homesick It’s your heart telling your mind that you love somebody If you got regrets There’s a possibility that you got something to check off your list It’s a long walk home and a short life to live I hear my mama call out for kool-aid I was swingin’ for the fence that summer’s eve My mamaw cleaning my grandpa’s catfish She always warned me of how sharp the fins could be It’s a short life, but it’s a good life For my family and me If you’re homesick It’s your heart telling your mind that you love somebody If you got regrets There’s a possibility that you got something to check off your list It’s a long walk home and a short life to live If you’re homesick It’s your heart telling your mind that you love somebody If you got regrets There’s a possibility that you got something to check off your list If you’re homesick It’s your heart telling your mind that you love somebody If you got regrets There’s a possibility that you got something to check off your list It’s a long walk home and a short life to live It’s a long walk home and a short life to live It’s a long walk home and a short life, a short life to live
10.	Caught Me Thinkin' 03:15	lyrics	buy track
Caught me thinkin’ of you again Just walkin’ through a creek Fool’s gold shining underneath I caught a glimmer in the water And it set my mind on fire Caught me thinkin’ of you again It was never lost on me It was never lost on me The last thing on my mind Was that I’d miss the hard times Was that I’d miss the hard times Caught me thinkin’ of you again The last thing that I wanted Was to be walking through some target Just to find something to do I’m so gone without you Caught me thinkin’ of you again It was never lost on me It was never lost on me But the last thing on my mind Was that I’d miss the hard times That I’d miss the hard times That I’d miss the hard times That I’d miss the hard times Caught me thinkin’ of you again How the spirit used to guide us Oh but lately she’s been silent It was never lost on me It was never lost on me It was never lost on me It was never lost on me But the last thing on my mind The last thing on my mind Was that I’d miss the hard times
11.	Great Divide 04:45	lyrics	buy track
In my time of need, in my time of need Underneath this frozen water A mighty river flows I still feel it all, I still feel it all Is there a place left for me to wander A place nobody knows Do you remember When the mountains shook Took us all by surprise Now we’re out here counting What it took Staring out across the great divide Staring out across the great divide In my time of need, in my time of need Slowly turning into my father I swore I’d never go I forgot how to fly, I forgot how to fly I left you burning at the altar And only you will know Do you remember When the mountains shook Took us all by surprise Now we’re out here counting What it took Staring out across the great divide Staring out across the great divide Did I lose you in the day to day I didn’t know there was any other way No one taught me how to hold on tight They only taught me how to let go I don’t want to let go I don’t want to let go I don’t want to let go I don’t want to let go Do you remember When the mountains shook Took us all by surprise Now we’re out here counting What it took Staring out across the great divide Staring out across the great divide

1st time i heard DeathWish, i turned it off. felt rushed, not the Isbell i've come to admire. really grab'd me when i took time to listen on the 2nd try. the writing on these songs stopped me in my tracks more than once. raw talent with just enough polish in the delivery. thankyou Jason + 400 for another keeper swirlingmadness

Age of Apathy

The instrumentation and songwriting in this album is really top-tier. Aofie is one of my favorite folk/alt-country artists and she performs wonderfully, bringing her unique tone of voice to this project. This album was my first step into Aofie's artistry, and is firmly one of my favorite albums. rileyridgway
