Pet Grief

HK Like a bittersweet reverie, Pet Grief stirs the soul with remembrance of love's warm embrace, swirling with long-held wishes and the wistful magic of memory. There, in the clouds, the golden days of childhood linger, along with every first dream, every starry-eyed belief... In a tender rush, The Radio Dept. call them all back to me.  Favorite track: Sleeping In.

winter pageant Every track makes the most out of the instruments used, and combined with a soft melancholy from the lyrics, the outcome is absolutely gorgeous… my favorite radio dept album at least. despite going out of its way to encapsulate more of an 80’s-90’s electronic/new wave sound, it feels ahead of its time, especially with acts like Boy Harsher and such having cult followings these days. Music exactly how I want it on a winter afternoon.

“what commitment, what grace, to just refuse to be alive”

Pet Grief 03:10
PET GRIEF And then he’s gone Never put up a fight You think you know someone, right? Maybe you never did, and how that scares you I’ll shut my mouth for you Just like your friends would do And this pet grief It’s just too bad I’ve never seen you this sad And if you need someone who doesn’t talk back I’ll shut my mouth for you Anything you want me to What can I say? What can I do? Don’t mean to analyze you It is a double bind I can’t win this one I’ll shut my mouth for you Anything you want me to

A Window 03:27
A WINDOW I’m proud of both my hands I just won’t get loud about it I’m proud of both my hands I just won’t get loud about it Don’t want to shout about it Can’t brag about it, no I’m proud of both my hands I just won’t get loud about it I don’t consider this a chance Or a window Still proud about it I couldn’t live without it No doubt about it, no Can’t get into the swing Of things Entanglements Embarrassments It always ends like this

I WANTED YOU TO FEEL THE SAME I sometimes got to tired of our game I wanted you to feel the same And did I say I liked you on the plane? I wanted you to feel the same I wanted you to feel the same It breaks my heart to say that when I was in pain I wanted you to feel the same But nothing gets you really It’s a shame I can’t believe you didn’t feel a thing I wanted you to feel the same

THE WORST TASTE IN MUSIC He can’t forget you You’re quite a find In my mind I see how he gets you To close your eyes Kiss the skies You race down the stairs in the morning A kiss is half promise, half warning Why would you bother to hang around? Even for some time, now There will be others to frown upon If it turns you on But he’s got the worst taste in music If I didn’t know this I’d lose it He’s got the worst taste in music If I didn’t know this I’d lose it
7.
Every Time 03:44
EVERY TIME Change your mind We’ll drink some other time One night out You won’t miss out that much I won’t be held responsible this time It’s not my fault if you don’t change your mind Change your mind This problem’s yours not mine You always find Someone to pin things on Just don’t make me responsible this time It’s not my fault if you don’t change your mind
8.
WHAT WILL GIVE? Bloody but unbowed You turn to face the crowd How can you bring yourself to even care? Show me a weakness if you dare What will give? Be sensitive Keep it pure, be secretive Of this I’m sure How I want to hide Like Jadek before playing live You fell on deaf ears after screaming cheers You’d seen it all before In your mind You saw it all before In your mind

Sleeping In 03:31
SLEEPING IN Sleeping when the day breaks Dreaming as the evening falls He’s got no more headaches Leaving us with empty walls The last of many efforts I know it’s not my place But I don’t even wonder why What commitment What grace To just refuse to be alive
11.
Tell 03:09
TELL Betrayal is always sad Needless to say what you could have had Of course you have it still But based on a lie that you always will Repeat till it clings true I’ve been lied to by the likes of you From that point of view I get the privilege to enlighten you On what I’m doing to help her She needs some shelter And if you’ve felt her loyalty what can you do? Will you keep this up, As long as you can if I don’t make it stop? I don’t have a clue Of what you are about to do Would you fool me too? I’ve been lied to by the likes of you From that point of view I get the privilege to enlighten you On what I’m doing to help her She needs some shelter And if you’ve felt her loyalty what can you do? I’m trying to help her She needs some shelter And if you’ve felt her loyalty what can you do?
12.
ALWAYS A RELIEF It’s always a relief to see you again It’s as if you don’t change and you always complain We hate different things And different tastes How people sing What they create Want to feel the illusion The confusion Some nerve to go against me now that we’re ahead You want to know how hard you’d fall if you did? It feels like our time has gone to waste Want to feel strong and not like a waste Want to feel the illusion The confusion
