Outworlder, by Get Set Go

Outworlder

by Get Set Go

supported by

John Brownell Mike TV has done it again (and again and again). This guy has more melodies in his trash can than most songwriters discover over an entire career. As a songwriter myself, it is a bit perplexing. He has seemingly uncovered this magical power to conjure heart-tugging tunes and heart-felt lyrics on demand. This album is no exception. Dig in! Favorite track: What My Head Tells My Heart (When It is Thinking Clearly).

wormstewmelike What? Another Get Set Go album? Thank goodness! I get to dive into another batch of catchy, hooky, wonderful and rich songs. They aren't too happy but that's my jam. Favorite track: My Doppelgangers & Me.

ericlea It’s impossible to talk about this album without reference to Get Set Go’s previous album. Well, maybe not impossible, but you’d be missing the point. Where “Juggernaut” started with a difficult-to-match youthful energy and degenerated into self-doubt, “Outworlder” picks up where “Juggernaut” leaves off and runs with it. It’s not easy to watch someone burn out in real time, but that’s what this album explores in spectacular fashion. Favorite track: See The Blood Flow.

1.	See The Blood Flow 03:53	lyrics	buy track
I want to punch you in the face just to see you bleed from the nose. Some people say I have unresolved issues, I suppose, But I don't know. I just want to see the blood flow. I want to drive my car off a cliff just to see if I can fly Maybe physics will ignore me just this single time, oh I'd like to fly, And I can't decide, is it worth a try? (chorus) All I know is the air is getting stale Oh, I cannot breathe, no I cannot breathe Will you breathe for me? All I know is these words are old and tired Let's set them on fire. Do you have a light? I don't have a light. I could use some help setting these words on fire. I want to spend one full year screaming at the top of my lungs. If I could spend one full year screaming I would finally be done. This song would be sung. And I'll have just begun. Chords: verse: E, A drop to Ab, F#, back to E chorus: G, B, F#, A drop to Ab, G 2x F#, F, E
2.	Self-Inflicted Wound 03:08	lyrics	buy track
I've been drinking way too much And I've been sleeping not all I've been finding that the things I want to do are just too tough, I can't scale these prison walls. And I don't know where I've been hurt I can't seem to find the wounds But I know with every passing day I grow a little weaker, Oh, yes, I know it's true. And I wanted to believe That maybe I could find A way to pull myself out of The self-inflicted wound that is my mind. I've hurt the ones I love Oh, I do it all the time I-used to think that I was gonna be a good man But I'm just a man, you'll find. And I'm barely holdin' on I'm hanging by my nails And it feels like everything I put my heart into is only doomed to fail. (chorus) (first part, then...) And I wanted to believe That maybe I could try To heal the self-inflicted wound That's become my mind. But, whatever. Hey, it's okay. I'm a fucking train-wreck I think I'm gonna stay wrecked But, hey. Hey, hey, hey. Oh, I'm gonna hold on I'm gonna press on I'm gonna keep on anyway I've been stumbling now for years I've been barely holdin' on I've been working so damn hard But I'm afraid that everything I've ever made is just poison.

3.	White Noise 03:56	lyrics	buy track
Stuck in the soundtrack of somebody else All alone All you wanna do is make your way home. Stuck in a song with words you've already heard With melodies that warm but never quite burn Give us the fire! Give us the fire! Give us the fire! Or nothing at all. Or nothing at all. Stuck in a sound that shivers but never quite breaks Frozen in place with simply no room for mistakes. Stuck with a heart that smolders but never quite glows Trapped with a soul afraid of the truths that it knows. Give us the fire! Give us the fire! fire! fire! Give us the fire! Or nothing at all. Or nothing at all. Now that you know this. Now that it's been made clear. You, you gotta deliver Or you, get the fuck outta here. Yes, you, you gotta deliver Or, clear out of here. Stuck in the soundtrack of somebody else, there's no doubt All you gotta do is claw your way out. out. out. Stuck in a song with words that perplex and confuse Toss 'em away and use your own personal truths. truths. truths. Give us the fire. Give us the fire. Give us the fire. Or nothing at all. Give us the fire! Give us the fire! fire! fire! Give us the fire. Or nothing at all. Or nothing at all.

4.	What My Heart Tells My Head (When the Doubt Creeps In) 03:36	lyrics	buy track
Every song we sing is pointless Every song we write is trash It's no wonder that we're barely holdin' on Why do we even ask? Everything we make is worthless Every note we sing turns sour Everything we've ever written only serves to prove That we've been wastin' hours. Oh, I know, we don't know why We do the things we do But maybe, we can finally Just stop, stop, stop, stop Every song we sing is poison Every word we sing is pain So why can't we just stop singing these songs And let go of these old refrains. (repeat end) Everything we do is failure No one really gives a fuck. All we gotta do is simply walk away and disappear disappear disappear disappear disappear disappear disapper disapper disappear disappear ----- Every song we sing is special How nice if that was true But no one ever seems to be listening So what are we gonna do? Everything we do is nothing And nothing might be too much Everything we touch seems to crumble away Our touch turns it all to dust Oh, I know, we don't know why We do the things we do But maybe, we can finally Just stop, stop, stop, stop Every breath we breathe is labored Every step we take is hard Every song is fucking pointless Why do we work so hard? Chords: Capo 4 Verse: G, Am, C7, Em7 Chorus/Turn: D, C, D7, C7 (hold C7 for 8 counts)

Oh, this song we sing Without us, oh, this song it wouldn't be. Oh, this song we play Without us, oh, this song is never made.

8.	Banshee 05:26	lyrics	buy track
She wakes up in a forest of bottles and tall boys She lurches to the toilet and sounds a frightening noise She staggers to the bed and searches about so frantically For a reason to keep going, a reason to believe Intro/Verse/Banshee That she's okay That she'll make it through the day. She searches for a shirt that might look like it is clean She dresses in a hurry 'cause she's late for everything She doesn't have a smoke 'cause she ran out late last night But she rolls one from the recycled butts and set the smoke alight Is she's okay Will she make it through the day. Ooh, banshee! Hear her wail, hear her scream Listen to the words that she can only shriek. Hear her wail, hear her scream The emptiness that tortures her The emptiness that bleeds Ooh, banshee! She lies about her drinking, oh she lies about it all The heart that beats inside her chest feels so very small There's something black inside of her that's feeding on her heart She know she has to face it but she's never gonna start Is she okay? Will she make it through the day? So here she sits again, in the middle of the night Surrounded by her emptiness, her cigarette alight She takes a drag and breathes it in, emptiness and smoke Dawn is fast approaching, where did the evening go? Is she okay? Will she make it through the day? Chords: Capo 3 Verse: Em7, Em (hammer on/off), C, C7 (ham) turn D, C Chorus: G, D, Em, C

John's newest record is the only album I have encountered that is trying to grapple with the idea that machines are taking over, and we're pretty okay with that. And that is pretty darn awesome! Get Set Go

Made of Metal

supported by 11 fans who also own “Outworlder”

I love how quickly it gets chaotic and they're singing different stuff on top of each other. Great to hear another voice singing with Mike TV. Not even jealous because it's so good and so different than anything else I've heard from him before but equally infectious. Production is top notch too. Love the dueling solos. There's a lot of gotdamn music in here. Sebastian A. Bach

by Eric Lea

supported by 7 fans who also own “Outworlder”

Look Out, Octosquid! Here Comes Crocogator! (Pointless Cryptids Vol.1) is a truly refreshing musical journey. Eric Lea crafts each song to be distinct, showcasing complicated yet catchy melodies. With his classical background (he’s a classically trained viola player), Eric's compositional genius shines through as he plays and sings every thing you hear. The brilliant and often hilarious lyrics elevate this album, making it SOOOOO fun to listen to. wormstewmelike
