lyrics

Here’s some advice
Don’t take any of mine
In fact you should stop paying attention
I took my advice
Which means I didn’t listen
And now I’m in the situation that I’m in
Again

I've thought about a lot of things
Reaching only one conclusion
That thinking about anything is no fun
But I’m loyal to the suffering
It’s my ship in the confusion
To follow that star through storms and doldrums
But it’s so far away
Christ boy, what did I say?!

Don’t fall in love with the
First star that you fall in
Love with
Idiot
That’s what you did
Isn’t it
I told you my advice was shit

But I refuse to live it down

Don’t dare romanticize

Something romantic
It’s reactive
Sycophantic
Can’t get past it was
Fantastic

How can I be chasing
What I’m still embracing
I refuse replacing
What I can’t stand facing

My pursuit of a star that shone so long ago
And the light that I see now is eons old
Oh, I fucking know
By the time I reach it the light won’t be the same
That beckoned me to follow
The star will have changed
By the time I get there I'll be dead
But that's okay
It’s the journey
Not the destination
So it will work out in the end

Let myself down easy
A tender resignation
To soften the blow of that second chance
I'm a little achey from that first one
I admitted my misguidance
I constellate that consolation
I thought if I felt it was all of my fault
I thought feeling would finally be fun

about

Revered Vancouver, British Columbia

"Revered" is composer/front-man, Emmett Hall's musical experiment into pseudo-new wave/prog-rock cathartic nonsense.
Best described as an entertaining self-cleansing though acerbic revelry and bathos.
Much of which is in collaboration with producer, Pietro Sammarco.
