1.	I Knew You So Briefly, You Dead Soap Dog 03:29	lyrics	buy track
I’ll say I love you   To anyone I want to  That’s all I wanted all along Just to feel like I belong   I’ve got this idea in my head That if we quit moving we’ll be dead So let’s just keep moving on Singing our stupid songs On and on and on   And I’ll scream I miss you To everyone, it’s too true And I know it’s not okay I’ve been alone too long today   I’ve got this idea in my head  That if we quit moving we’ll be dead So let’s just keep moving on Singing our stupid songs On and on and on   It’s always better to be running towards something  Rather than away   From everything I thought my life   Would turn out to be   And when I close my eyes It’s hard for me to sleep   Cause I’m too eager to find out   Exactly where it is that I’m going
2.	I Lost My Dinosaur 04:45	lyrics	buy track
I always feel so unimportant Like everyone just has more to give than me I could stay in my room for a week or maybe two Cause everyone else has someone they'd rather see And who can blame them? I'm no better than the rest I don't like myself Just had to get that off my chest Messages on my phone only make me feel alone Well everyone just wants what they can get from me No one asks me how I'm really doing "Just wanted to check in and see if that date was free" And if I ask you if I matter Please tell me that you'll lie And I don't know if I'll get better Or quit wanting to die You can tell me I'm strong But I feel pretty weak It's pretty hard to belong When no one cares what you think Look at the man I am now And ask what he's got to give I guess that it's myself That's hardest to forgive
3.	Golden Sound 05:09	lyrics	buy track
You were golden   You’d lift me up  I made the most of you  Absorbed your love Golden sound In the ground I took your hand  I watched you fade  I could not hold you  You drifted away Golden sound In the ground    You were there as I grew  What will it be like to live without you   You were there as I grew   I don’t wanna have to live without you   I can’t believe you’re gone How am I supposed to go on?
4.	A Man To Please 02:43	lyrics	buy track
You were a sleepy fawn   But it was me who dodged the bullet You shouldn’t have given me a gun  I should’ve known not to pull it   But I feel fine And this time I’m not lying  Someday you’ll come around   But I’ll be nowhere to be found   You told me not to write about you  I told you I would use your name  Right now I’m thinking I won’t do it  But who knows that could change   I still think about you  Every now and then   Most of my thoughts consist of   How I never wanna see your face again   Yeah I’m fine  And this time I’m not lying  Someday you’ll come around   But I’ll be nowhere to be found   I am not your friend  This is how it ends  It’s about time that I stand up  And exclaim “I’m over you Amanda”
5.	No Promises 04:32	lyrics	buy track
Would you be lying  If you said I made you feel free?  Would you be willing   To do anything for me?    Cause I can’t say the same for you   Not after what you put me through   They say you shouldn’t make promises that you can’t keep   Well it’s that phrase that’s been bothering me for weeks  Why say anything when there’s no guarantee   That when I wake up there’ll be anyone there but me   I often wonder if you’ll ever feel how I did In that summer, endless bummer, nothing more than a stupid kid  It was late July when I felt like dying  Driving home from Franklin, dreading the next weekend  I should have seen this is how it would end. You wanted a second chance  A second glance at what I'd been through  Now I’m the one who feels bad For not being all there with you   They say you shouldn’t make promises that you can’t keep   Well it’s that phrase that’s been bothering me for weeks   Why say anything when there’s nothing that you can do  And when you wake up I might not even be there with you   I might not be with you    She asked me not to hurt her the way that she hurt me  But all that I could muster was a weak “no promises”

about

"When the going gets tough, the tough get going." If that’s true, consider Secret Stuff gone. The Nashville trio has been through its fair share of tough, and it comes out in droves in the band’s forthcoming release, This is Fine. Members Michael Pfohl, Nathan Childers, and Alexander Gonser juggled relationships, the hosting of bi-weekly house shows, and a full-time college course load while writing and recording the impassioned, ardent five song EP – multiple times. This is Fine captures the angst and misery of formative years, set on the backdrop of struggling to do even that. It focuses on shortcomings, the burdens of stress, overly critical self-analysis, and coming to terms with it all (the acknowledgement of which is where the title originates). Produced and engineered by Jon Hicks (Relient K, Haste the Day, Dance Gavin Dance), the band found a way to use their trials to define This is Fine — all five songs survey a fully focused mastery of songwriting, instrumentation, and melody.

Been following Somos for many years, feeling that they had an opus in them...well, here it is. Driving pop-punk sensibilities lend an upbeat tone in contrast to the grim lyrical proceedings, and they absolutely pull it off. Evocative music that's been on repeat for me all month long.
