Akron/Family - River

New single from Akron/Family River

Lyrics:

And you are no longer a river to me
And you are no longer a river to me
Though your coursing remain eager to acquaint me
And you are no longer a docile stream
And you are no longer a docile stream
Though your patience proves you into ease

And once this spark-met kindling
Forgets its gentle ambling
Becoming heat, becoming steam
Becoming luminescent glee
Atoms splinter, sparkling
Alive and nimble symmetry
And all along, this glistening
Blankets we and everything
Shadows dance triumphantly
A wordless whisper sighs and pleas
Little deaths envelope thee
You and I and a flame make three
You and I and a flame make three
You and I and a flame make three

And you are not glassy bay to me
And you are not glassy bay to me
Though my tired fleet abides in your gentle breeze
And you are now vast and open sea
And my mind travels you endlessly
And you beckon, toss and toss and swallow me

And once this spark-met kindling
Forgets its gentle ambling
Becoming heat, becoming steam
Becoming luminescent glee
Atoms splinter, sparkling
Alive and nimble symmetry
And all along, this glistening
Blankets we and everything
Shadows dance triumphantly
A wordless whisper sighs and pleas
Little deaths envelope thee
You and I and a flame makes three
You and I and a flame make three
You and I and a flame make three
You and I and a flame make three
You and I and a flame make three
You and I and a flame make three
You and I and a flame make three
You and I and a flame make three
You and I and a flame make three
You and I and a flame make three
You and I and a flame make three

thumbs up if you were waiting for the sun to rise

[Starlight6511]

Ooh, I Love this Song & Video!!! ...Very Beautiful!!! <3

[Homer8j]

I don't care much for this band as a whole, but I do love this song.

[CasualMasacre]

Hey guys, who designed the MitB skull anyways? Oh that's right, he copied it directly out of a medical textbook. It was never theirs to begin with.

[korbakorbaful]

Not bad music, but the people in this band are truly degenerate human beings. They recently played at my club. Besides treating the staff like they are slaves, they insulted people by using homophobic slurs. Do not support this band.

@GOxDIExSCUM

Oh that's what indie means thanks for letting me know! Sarcasm aside, my point was simply that now everybody who is into any kind of indie music, whether it's some obscure crust or some obscure folk, now know who MitB is. Anyway, this whole thing was an overreaction. I used to even listen to crust a lot until it finally dawned on me that most of them were just lame Discharge and Amebix rip offs. A few exceptions being crusty doom metal or grindcore.

[GOxDIExSCUM]

@ReechReynolds 'indie' means that you are a independently owned and operated band. Therefore crust is already 'indie'.

Like many of the people posting here, I was brought to Akron/Family from the MiTB articles--doesn't mean that anyone is going to buy their album. I don't see this as a ploy--I think Eric Wood is just pissed that such a mellow band stole one of their designs.

Now play nice kiddies...

[ReechReynolds]

Oh and one last thing before I go, I hope all of you crusties realize that this was one big ploy by both bands. Every crusty is looking up Akron Family videos to post nonsense, and now every indie loving "hipster" has been exposed to MitB. This story was even posted on Pitchfork!!!! PITCHFORK, the indie hipster Bible! Now crust is surely to become the next big thing in indie, which means it will eventually become the next big thing in the mainstream.

[ReechReynolds]

There's a shitty white rapper that goes by the name of MGK with a song called "Wild Boy". In that video he is wearing a Drop Dead shirt. Slowly but surely, crust is making it to the mainstream lol.

[ReechReynolds]

And now we have all of the Man is the Bastard fans coming onto corporate Youtube and running off their stupid mouths about the media and corporations. Who are the hipsters now? Go back to your mom's house in suburbia and reassess your shit. What a bunch of fucking babies. I can't wait til Hot Topic makes crust mainstream. Then what rock are you going to crawl under? And here's a bar of soap for the smell.

[duvalicious666]

fucking die you pieces of shit for stealing the skull

[Dicklaurent74]

AKRON FAMILY ARE HUMAN TOILETS
