    This is one of the most exciting things I've done! Cassettes sound great, they look great, and they're a perfect collector's item (I made a small run of 40). In addition to a digital download of the album (download card with code included with item), you'll get:

    a 2-sided retro-lilac cassette with metallic 'rich gold' pad-print lettering in a clear case; gorgeous cover artwork by Mila Kapustina; and that warm fuzzy feeling of satisfaction when that cassette clicks into place and the music starts :)

    Made in conjunction with Bee-Side Cassettes - beesidecassettes.bandcamp.com

about

inspired by Patsy, Dolly, and Irma

lyrics

When I was just a little girl I thought I knew love
Was waiting for the world to show my one and true love
And then I met the man that I am with today
It's only now I see we made a big mistake

Ooh ah, he used to give me violets
But now he turns away and all I hear is silence
Don't know what it means
Oh why's he gotten so cold to me?

I think back on the time when I was his one and only
But lately, now I find, with him I get so lonely
He'll never tell me what goes roaring through his mind
And so I lie awake and wait for him at night

Ooh ah, he'll promise me it's over
Ooh and I'll go on pretending I don't know her
What else can I do?
I'd die before I'd find somebody new

And all my friends, they tell me that I should pack it up and run away
But I don't think that they can really ever understand
That he can be so kind, so sweet sometimes
oh, the words that he can say
Besides, I know one day he'll come back to me again

Ooh ah, and so I will believe him
Because I know I'll never leave him
And I know I can't win
Oh, why do I do what I do for him?
