"Home" Released 11.11.2020
Dear Friend,
It's been one of those mornings where my restlessness got me awake. It's a few days before I'm supposed to be putting this out there for others to hear, and I'm sitting in front of "Home With The Undead" flickering on my screen. I'll be turning thirty-three on eleven-eleven, twenty-twenty and Home will be in your room with you the way it has been with me for over five years. I can argue that these sounds began seven years ago, or even ten... and somehow more believably, from the first five years of my life.
On my screen I see a container. There are lines and planes like compartments and barriers. For the past few weeks I have been filling these spaces with little important things to represent the songs I have written in this "place". What I see rolling and sputtering on these walls, shining bright and fading in spectacular ways, are my memories. I'm most of the way through two of these now. That puts me just after the trains in Home With The Undead, and I decided to stop for a while and write to you. What I'm looking at here, in front of me, is the best I could do to make an image of my heart. These are not scattered things.
If you're listening now...
In a crater at some world's end, may this music find you like an old and true friend.
- Josh
Lyrics:
They came and shut the cable down today
Close the door, sway right, face down
To dig up relics from the carpet and
Fall asleep without a friend
I've been hiding by the river town singing bridge again
I told collections I was sorry, "Try your best don't worry
I'll be back up on my feet soon".
Do you have some time to talk about death
Do you have some time to talk about death
A lot of things have really passed away
And I just wanted to be loved
Even though you called, I don't want you to feel like you gotta stay
If we're being honest, I know I sold myself in a million ways
If ever you mean what you say, or not, I'll be ok
Tell me, would you stay if I failed at something great
Tell me, would you stay
Sometimes I let the movie menu play
Tell me, would you stay
There's really not much of me left today
Tell me would you change if nobody else would stay the same
Lay my head down in the woods tonight
Like a fort when I was young
Keep the company of ghosts and care way too much
What they all think of me
What they all think of me
Home would move on and I just wanted it to stay
Wanted it to stay
A lot of things have really passed away
And I just wanted to be loved
Even though you called, I don't want you to feel like you gotta stay
If we're being honest, I know I sold myself in a million ways
If ever you mean what you say, or not, I'll be ok
Tell me, would you stay if I failed at something great
Tell me, would you stay
Sometimes I let the movie menu play
Tell me, would you stay
There's really not much of me left today
Tell me would you stay if home was like a chase
Running from the wings
Lay my head down in the woods tonight
Like a fort when I was young
Keep the company of ghosts and care way too much
But they don't think of me
They don't think of me
Home would move on and I just wanted it to stay
Wanted it to stay

P.S. Dear friend,
I suppose this music will find you somewhere after some familiar song or sound you like has ended. I guess these familiar sounds of mine are now like messages in bottles the moment I hit the "publish" button. If I were to wish them adrift to anyone, I would wish them along to the marooned soul. You're in a place I have been. I hope the music finds you like so many records have me. Pink Floyd's "Division Bell" on a lonesome drive from one desolate place to another. Porcupine Tree's "The Incident" in a bin at a mall that is certainly closed down today, or "Trains" over my tracks. Nothing's "Guilty of Everything" in the summer full of heat and weight when home isn't there. Boduf Songs "The Stench of Exist" when fall lifts the ache after death and dry leaves. This Will Destroy You's "Another Language" when all language stopped. On some Christmas drive to a little town "The Wall" became a new carol. "If you leave" for the road and "Holocene" alone the first time... better and worse in the best ways after that. Upstream Color asleep in a chair I borrowed and Interstellar in a world even more borrowed than that.
