lyrics
The Decree
Now the Boy drives to the Girl,
Battles his heart, wrestles the rainstorm.
It washes his car clean, washes their sins clean away.
The Girl waits for the Boy,
Lays the wood with trembling hands and lost joy.
The spark of the match flares,
The spark in her heart flares into flame,
Oh, she knows this one will hurt like hell
Oh, he knows he is falling through time and brimstone,
And those old vows still flow through him.
So the Boy knocks at her door
Then she’s there, dressed in beauty and tears.
The blood and the love roar,
The mystery leaps forth.
Oh, he says, Girl I step into colour with you.
No, she says, Boy I don’t want to believe it’s true,
That I could feel this with you
That I still weep here with you
I don’t want to believe you’re true.
Hours fade as the gods weave their fate
Their splintered love yields to the coup de grace
She holds him like grieving
He leaves though it slays him.
Girl, he says, I’ll miss you more than you’ll ever know,
Boy, she says, you’ll meet me again in this world,
No, he says, don’t you know this will be our last time?
So as he goes she knows,
This was reality calling,
Through tangled secrets and mournings
From swallows turning and falling
It was reality calling.
Crafter of a curious blend of cerebral indie-pop with a twist of lyrical Americana.

Nick is an artist who truly deserves comparisons to James Taylor and Nick Drake. His intricate guitar-play and smooth vocals weave a careful web of melancholic beauty. Drew Worthley
Bazan sings with the existential angst and raw beauty of a man forever haunted by the numinous. His lyric "You're a god damn fool but I love you" will never grow old. Drew Worthley
