lyrics
i woke up today, feeling like an inspiration
but to my dismay i was left without a choice
filing systems overflowing leaving entropy unchecked
make it go away and replace with something more important
[chrous]
try to define memories that i no longer want
try to assign salience to what needs to be seen
how can i justify to you that all the shit i put you through
won't be just so much wasted time, why should you trust me?
i am made entirely of information
DNA, terabytes of life
but out of all these details, there are few i really need
pointlessly saved data wasting space
[chorus]
when i sing this song, you're welcome to sing along
i know it might make you blush, but give me something to remember us
as we are today
i woke up today, feeling like an inspiration
if i had my way, i'd inspire you
five hundred billion neurons, firing like fireworks
sparking in sequence, sparkling just for you
but to my dismay i was left without a choice
filing systems overflowing leaving entropy unchecked
make it go away and replace with something more important
[chrous]
try to define memories that i no longer want
try to assign salience to what needs to be seen
how can i justify to you that all the shit i put you through
won't be just so much wasted time, why should you trust me?
i am made entirely of information
DNA, terabytes of life
but out of all these details, there are few i really need
pointlessly saved data wasting space
[chorus]
when i sing this song, you're welcome to sing along
i know it might make you blush, but give me something to remember us
as we are today
i woke up today, feeling like an inspiration
if i had my way, i'd inspire you
five hundred billion neurons, firing like fireworks
sparking in sequence, sparkling just for you

Don't believe the name of their latest album; jangle-pop hooks and stacked grunge guitars are two of the Bay Area band's greatest gifts.

It’s hard to make a reunion record feel necessary—but on their first album in 22 years, Hum most certainly have.

I Tried To Fight It But I Was Inside It
by Nervous CurtainsDark but designed to move you, this Dallas group uses menacing synths and popping live drum to make heavily rhythmic post-punk.

Twelve nervy power pop tracks punctuated by hairpin chord changes that arrive like sucker punches.
