DESCRIPTION:
From the album 'Only Good Thoughts Can Stay' (2011) • Pay what you want http://tndr.lv/1bQF218

I am trying to shake shake shake shake shake shake shake shake shake
shake all these blues away.
Only good thoughts can stay.
I am trying to burn burn burn burn burn burn burn burn burn
burn down this lonely forest
with a single chorus sung in a minor key.
I am trying to love what I'll have to leave
and I'm trying not grieve prematurely.
I am trying to calm you down but you're way beyond,
singing that same old song I'll never sing.

Constant lineup changes and improvised, infrequent rehearsals would cause many bands to suffer, but they’ve become the lifeblood of Jared Mees & The Grown Children, giving the group’s live shows a devil-may-care energy and keeping the songs honest and raw. The most recent incarnation of the Grown Children recorded 2011’s Only Good Thoughts Can Stay, at Portland’s storied Type Foundry studio. The result was the band’s most complex, rich, and fully realized album to date, full of the sprawling epic soundscapes and lucid lyrical imagery that Jared Mees & The Grown Children have come to be known for.
