Fireworks at the start of sunset
It was as late as the children could wait
White smoke drifting towards the valley
Slipping through the corn fields and trees
We were the last to exit the pool
Waited all day for it to be just us two
I lagged behind and watched you walk away
Pretty sure I fell for you earlier in the day
Heads turned up towards underwhelming blasts
Still, the kids gave collective ‘oohs’ and ‘aahs’
Bursts of yellow, purple, red, and blue
Through it all, I couldn’t help but look at you

A nostalgic record full of ambling rhythms, vivid imagery, and cotton-soft melodies tapped out on an ever-present ’70s synth-organ hybrid. Bandcamp Album of the Day Nov 11, 2021
