Calming down Same washing One cycle down Eavesdropping You laughed out loud Cold cold clouded And turning out More reasons Not if but when You said we started I say begin Even though Any idols you find In the back of your mind Ceilings are closing in But where would we have begin Any idols you find In the back of your mind Ceilings are closing in But where were we If you find yourself in Vietnam With your 89 mirage turbo Run on sin like some On the radio has been Cause its Not if but when

Spoilers 02:16
Jamie was right The ping in your heart the love of my eyes the common thread a good vibe in your head bring us back to even won't you let us down again Oh but didnt you know what I didn't know? The pinks peeling slow changes through a small tv light what i never watched before you came that night Take two then call me in the morning Setting up for breaking it down When my last show had the darkest of blows and when the spirits are high and I'm reading through the synopsis online Was it right? Cause I made up my mind Was it right? Cause I made up my mind Was it right?

All along your way de-blooming Coming up on green too afraid to dream Where is my sweet buddy? I saw a stranger cry on the street just by It's not hard to hate but would tell myself it was just for me You got all the gear and all of the time just a 2x2 I love you but I'm a choke artist In my face I guess All along your way brought some tree of life to burn and how I'm getting on with my alter ego asking being cute to tide you over I'd wait forever I guess I know what I was talking about You wave like a flag for bringing me down talking all the ways you could wait for everything send it all on your way You've got all the gear and all of the time just a 2x2 I love you but I'm a choke artist In my face I guess All along your way

You’re saying I tried to I’m saying I tried to spend The whole day with you And your vital sounds And your furrowed brow You’re staring at the cafe Que Hora Es Don’t even know my discography Who? What are you a fucking owl? You’re saying Im climbing baby I like it high Your song is queued But what will I do with mine? Who? What are you a fucking owl? You’re saying Im climbing baby I like it my Promises from you Are a low low let down Your song is queued But what will I do with mine?

Track one over your eyelids Comebacks industry standard When the critical marauders pursue I’m sideways same as you All your energy I am Unplug fantasy island When the chemical mirages ensue I’m sideways same as you But you don’t like the hold in my speech When I’m keeping it honest And I walk on by as before You feel your haunted hand on you Im somewhere sideways same as you Don’t leave out hearts that hang on you Im somewhere sideways same as you And I wouldn't know what I would do I’m somewhere sideways same as you Unplug fantasy island And keep bombastically rhymin When the chemical mirages ensue Im sideways same as you

Wanna take a left to what’s right Wanna feel your temperature rise And I wouldn't know where to hideout for a little while Wanna take a break on good nights Wanna feel anything but alright And I would completely hide I would completely hide I don’t know what it’s all about I got the heavenly sway But they’re Lisa Simpson fangs And there’s nothing in my way Wanna feed your dream a goodnight Oh to completely fall behind and I would completely hide And I would completely die I don’t know what it’s all about I got the heavenly sway But they’re Lisa Simpson fangs and they’re nothing left to say Tell it to my heart tell me that we’re not going under Tell it to my heart tell me that we’re not going underground the Milk you spilt When time gets split My mind is safe Away from me

For a cold month the street stopped more than less is known I was old once the heat was on and calming down was broke Was a shoo-in, a cherry topped, a dying trend, a horror movie plot Mmm hmmmm hmmm Let me guess this right and when if you decide In the moonlight It should be you decide It's not unsportsmanlike Hold your own head up high Shoot for the moon and swing It should be you decide Let me guess this right It should be you decide You, you decide give a try hold your head up high (And let me guess this right) For a cold month the street stopped more than less is known

It's always something when its blown out Tongue tied and a trip to the louvre wide eyed and there's another side I'd rather go and choose let's wait for the ride over die I feel it coming on 2x2 and No one would hand it to you The blue of my eyes from the vine Its old not such better news woah message goes cold and I don't ask why Because the messengers drunk and I'm always high But I hate to lose (so/and) all I have to show for is My time in the sunshine My time 2x2 My time in the sunshine My time with Judy Blume

Hey when you’re blown away Freeze framed from the days Illness of vanity to Stay in your tidal wave Cars melt in the bay feeling off course from your Split Screen summers From the mouth of marbles Leave your antiquated hole When you say “hey, I don’t wanna lose” Then you stuck me with your pear plum blues When you’re razor thinning i will follow suit and you got me with your pear plum blues Wade in a blanket stare That’s hardly related If related at all again And end with a day in bed Planned out by committee Of Henry & tiki The men of action Nothing does happen An underbelly moan Stay away I’m fine Where have you been all this time all of this time bragging about how I Tidal waved cars melted from the freeze framed blown away illness of vanity

In an echo chamber of space and time Dual angles cropped making a sound So sad that you’re leaving Buying sunscreen for the season Don’t let being stuck Get you down And make some noise The Mystery of being a boy Mystery of being I know where to start so don’t get me wrong Diamond store diamond and a tiny round thing Let’s make this real easy fashion skips every decade How it actually happens aint allowed to say out loud Avoid The Mystery of being a boy The Mystery of being a boy The Mystery of being a boy The Mystery of being a boy (I got nothing going on) In an echo chamber of space and time Narrow hearts fall knee deep in the ground So sad that you’re leaving Buying sunscreen for the season Don’t let being stuck Get you down And make something.... Wait! out of your mind I don’t wanna waste what’s mine Wait! out of your mind I don’t wanna waste what’s mine On the Left side, right side The Mystery of being a boy One two hip not static Three four pouring concrete Same clothes in a row Turnabout is fair play New reflection of me Any wall hanging shame Where the Hair gods have heartbeats Let history remains its...

I'm staring down in between on a kick that i'm not proud of feeling some emotion fresh in my mind i like to write with my ring on sometimes go out sometimes get out of it nothing sometimes there's nothing at all my good vibes are how i wish you saw and i wish you saw an army of clowns i saved a lo fi bad guy red herring for you Wait. We were all thinking of you sun through the dark out clouds in my dishwater blonde for a reason stay fresh in my mind no rest for the wicked vampire or a cool sucker? I'm staring down in between on a kick that i'm not proud of feeling some emotion dead in your bed i like to write with my ring on And i wish you saw an army of clowns i saved a lo fi bad guy red herring for you Wait. We were all thinking of you sun through the dark out clouds in my dishwater blonde for a reason stay fresh in my mind no rest for the wicked vampire or a cool sucker?

about

When Drew Beskin recorded the first song with his new band, Drew Beskin & the Sunshine, one of his bandmates proclaimed that it sounded like sunshine. And it did — a break in the murky sadness of the Covid pandemic, a tongue-in-cheek tribute to Baskin’s favorite band, Oasis, and their obsession with that word. The song evoked nature, wildlife, the outside, where the band often recorded in its hometown of Athens, Georgia.

“I hate to be one of those people and say that it’s a Covid record,” Beskin says, “But the record was not expected, it was like a dream. Everything fell into place.”

Beskin connected with a cadre of pals in 2020, and decided to record fast and loose and see what shook out: Tommy Trautwein (Well Kept, Hotel Fiction, Wanderwild, Elijah Johnston), along with Elijah and Gideon Johnston (the Pink Stones, Hotel Fiction, Elijah Johnston). The crew recorded in a fit of spontaneous creativity at Trautwein’s home studio, We Bought a Zoo, compiling an 11-song record, Somewhere Sideways Same As You, that’s equal parts rocker and sunshiney pop.
