landingstripgirl Honestly, love his voice; the surf-y guitar accompanies & compliments his voice in a fine way. Pedal steel is a sure way to melt the heart- well done.

you're my baby when I'm lucky but I'm yours all of the time I had to go cause you had to grow and I couldn't come for the ride but I'll just be gentle try to stay present no thoughts of the future or the past where I can hide you said you can't stand it when I'm not around but that your real self is still to be found It's not that you want it but you need it so we said I love you and that only time can tell I cried through the winter with you out of sight and I felt stronger lost all track of time but now I feel heavy like something's gone inside and that's when I realize that there might be No Summertime

All I Want 04:52
life was a future forthcoming now it's a lucid dream driving in my car we could go anywhere in the water we don't have to think for years I wanted my freedom too now all I want is you all I want is you all I want is you all I want is you your scent on the nose of resentment you're climbing out of a bottomless pit for now all you want is to be free someday all you'll want is me all you'll want is me all you'll want is me yeah all you'll want is me all you'll want is me all you'll want is me all you'll want is me yeah all you'll want is me

In a dream I followed a rainbow to Kansas cause there I'd be my best but in that small town with nothing around we looked back at the arch's crest and I felt it in my chest should I love should I resent I'll just walk away because it suits me best yeah what does it mean don't make a scene if it was meant to be you'll see yeah

In Dreams 04:13
if you don't like it then don't believe it or you can lie it all away cause in dreams you don't have to look behind you in dreams what you love's beside you but for dreamin you abandon everything I want to dream with you a while what's the truth who cares just smile just smile cause in dreams what is real is wild in dreams you're still a child but for dreaming we abandon everything

I never thought i'd be the one that got away but since you left I've been feelin' that way I was in love with the brightest sun but I'm feelin more fine livin' on my own time and I'm still yours but only in your mind together forever what a terrible lie i'll be your baby one more night I'll make you dream one last time yeah you can dream you can dream you can dream I never thought I'd be the one that got away you're somewhere countin' the days but I'm here ready to play you thought a tattoo was ring but it was just for fun baby your hope was strong but now I'm gone but I'm still yours but only in your mind together forever what a terrible lie i'll be your baby one more night i'll make you dream one last time yeah you can dream you can dream you can dream

about

Blanky embodies the languor left of a perfect day gone past. After listening to the Lawrence, Kansas based four piece you’re left with a residual feeling of warmth. Something similar to the lingering effect of a sunny yesterday. Their midwestern origins and minimalist compositions compliment one another quite naturally. Their music conjures up scenes of a stereotypical Kansas summer. Unending plains. Interstate diners. Smoky old pool halls and golden hour sunlight. While the soft/loud/soft dynamics of their songs may be a nod to the likes of The Pixies or The Breeders, Blanky has avoided being pigeonholed to any one genre and have managed to successfully land upon a musical aesthetic which incorporates a myriad of underground sounds from genres including surf, new-wave, goth, western and dreampop. While the music can be easy listening at some moments and more dissonant at others, the lyrical narratives hold your attention the whole way through.
