lyrics
Read the same sentence over
Over again
Scenery through glass, through eyes
The world outside
And I was overcompensating
And I was overcompensating
The world is all reflected light
Shine far too bright
Feel the ground on which we stand
Such shifting sand
And I weep for the man I could have been
And I weep for the man I could have been
I imagine all the sky
As sea
Somewhere in the middle
Is a world to find
And everyone around you knows
That the middle is the worst place you can be
That the middle is the worst place you can be
That the middle is the worst place you can be
Over again
Scenery through glass, through eyes
The world outside
And I was overcompensating
And I was overcompensating
The world is all reflected light
Shine far too bright
Feel the ground on which we stand
Such shifting sand
And I weep for the man I could have been
And I weep for the man I could have been
I imagine all the sky
As sea
Somewhere in the middle
Is a world to find
And everyone around you knows
That the middle is the worst place you can be
That the middle is the worst place you can be
That the middle is the worst place you can be

What a wonderful compilation for a great charity. it's a no brainer for £7. Favourite tracks by Bandicoot, Little Red, Eve Goodman, campfire social, Boy Azooga, Adwaith. Quite a few new interesting artists too.

Although I do agree I'd prefer more focus on the IRS era, this is a really solid collection of covers that delivers some unique takes. Totally inspired me to go back and listen to the original albums as well.

This debut self-titled EP from Mississippian Kate Teague is filled with poignant retro-sounding indie and folk tracks.
