It's completely batshit crazy to me that they're not a superstar. I only started listening to them like 3 (?) months ago and I feel like their songs have been there my entire life, like they lodged a bit of my soul in between the notes. Insane that everyone everywhere hasn't heard this song.

[@peterkillackey2045]

About to drive from Santa Fe to Austin on the backroads, blasting the album "everytime you go somewhere." It's going to rule.

[@wyattnestor-pasicznyk5397]

Love them. They're such an inspiration to genderqueer, nonbinary, trans folk like myself. especially to those in the community who are aspiring musicians

[@beebo7071]

Wyatt Nestor-Pasicznyk not her too!

[@machineislove4973]

Wyatt Nestor-Pasicznyk or just humans ❤️

[@ccb36]

Agreed. You don't often see genderqueer/nb/trans musicians, and it's good to see. Have you heard of Rae Spoon, actually? (I know this comment is from 2 years ago but alksdjf)

They're addicting, I literally cant stop listening to them

[@timotheemoth6797]

Mal uses they/them pronouns :)

[@arin2747]

you know this songs that just come into your life at exactly the right time? that's how this song was for me.

[@severlst2293]

There was A point in my life that i absolutely tried to destroy myself, but ended up being more resilient than I realized I suppose. Anyways, this song reminds me of working through that. It touches me deeply.

I have not been writing that many new songs How I wish I could stay longer, how I wish I'd never gone And you have not been writing me as often as I wish And sometime I think I left you just to see if I'd be missed And I saw my fortune scrawled out up against the wall In a crowded marketplace in a town I can't recall And the teller told me that I would be young and I would fall And my new friends all assured me that it all was surely false And back at home, you found religion in a dirty crystal ball In the back of a dollar store in that shopping mall And I found religion out in San Cristobal Now I feel that I've come far enough to give you a call, give you a call I have not been writing as often as I hoped But there are some things you're good at and then some you can't control And you have not been visiting; I can't say that I mind 'Cause every time you go somewhere, you leave somewhere behind And I saw my fortune scrawled out up against the wall In a crowded marketplace whose name I cannot recall And the teller told me that I would be young and I would fall But I didn't think he meant so soon, no, not so soon at all And back at home, you found religion in a dirty crystal ball In the back of a dollar store in that shopping mall And I found religion out in San Cristobal Now I feel that I've come far enough to give you a call So I'm calling now, but it says I don't got the number right. Your body looks to me a way it never has before And is this what's making you so sad? And what you did this for She said your body looks to me a way it never has before And is this what's making you so sad? And I can't do this anymore And I found religion in a dirty bathroom stall In the back of a liquor store in that mini mall And you found religion when you realized you could fall Now you say that you've come far enough to give me a call So you're calling now, but I lie and I tell you that I've moved. Everything's brand Everything's brand Everything's brand Everything's brand Everything's brand Everything's brand new
