Write me a catalogue of miracles Impossible, empirical Illogical and lyrical Give me a cure for the incurable A break from the unbearable A catalogue of miracles Cause I am terrified this morning I am terrified this dawning I am terrified I am breaking into buildings I am aching for the real thing I am terrified So write me catalogue of miracles A poem I can peer into When I am cut with fear in two Give me an omen from the oracle That's real, not allegorical A catalogue of miracles Cause I am ripping off the blinders And I'm looking for reminders And I am terrified In the static on the radio At the eye of the tornado I am terrified, terrified Tonight Cause dammit I want magic (I'm demanding) I want the magic in my heart To pull this little room (this little tomb) apart It's panic But I'm not asking much I just want you to write Write me a catalogue of miracles A cast of the ethereal Of madness made material All that confronts you unequivocally Monstrous and mythical A catalogue of miracles

about

Less an anthem of hope than a demand for it. Late-style, major-key postpunk, overflowing with love. A classic.

I wrote this lyric in September 2014, but I only understood what it meant when I was nursing my beloved Pie May in her final days. This record is for her. The b-side was an improvisation I played at the piano on her last night. She always loved to sit on the piano bench with me. She was the best cat I ever knew. 2004-2019.

This music is about joy. Don’t be afraid to feel it.
