Best Man EP

each breath I take is another turn on an endless roundabout each hole in my heart just drains the love from all I had to give each month I shine another light goes dark inside me I’m holding back this brittle night I’m holding out for the perfect day I want a new life... I want to reach that blue horizon I want a new life... but I never seem to find it I want a new life... I want to reach that new horizon I want a new life... so I can give all my dreams to you I sent my dreams away to the land they promised me if I just believe no path to chase though I always try to find it anyway each step I take pursuits turn into painful memories I’m counting off the time I lost just take it from that perfect day I want a new life... I want to reach that new horizon I want a new life... but I never seem to find it I want a new life... I want to reach that new horizon I want a new life... so I can give all my dreams to you each month that I live there’s new life to give each month that goes by, more nothing survives

too cold in the winter too hot in the summer too bright in the nighttime too light in the day “selfish” is rewarded with too much “us” and “them” too much love of nothing too foolish for honest words too close but isolated and strung too far apart “living with each other”: a broken, foreign art one day I’ll move on this play will be over may this day be done may this day be done with time left over

I could tell you I'm sorry  I can't tell you why  Got a head full of reasons I suppose I could sell  An excuse is just a lie that we tell ourselves  I could tell you I’m different  I don’t feel that way  I got a heart full of intentions I repeat with each breath  Even the best of intentions dies a real quick death  I swore to myself I'd never let you down  I swore to myself I'd figure it out  I swore to myself I'd never be like him  But here I am, here I am  I can't tell the difference  I keep trying to change  Say I'll start today  Got these lines around my eyes, for every mistake  Oh destiny means nothing 'til you're caught in its wake  I swore to myself I'd never let you down  I swore up and down I'd figure it out  I swore to myself I'd never be like him  But here I am, here I am  I can't tell the difference

about

On this beautifully constructed and haunting EP, Chicago’s Bounte (working with Alan Ruffin and Catcher James) takes inspiration from author Colby Cuppernull’s short story collection, Best Man, capturing both the emotional exhaustion of the characters and the picaresque misery of the stories’ setting.

This Zen Dozer Records re-release includes instrumental versions of all three songs.

about

Bounte Chicago, Illinois

Chicago-based indietronica producer Bounte crafts darkly emotive and uniquely structured songs that forge new harmony from disparate ideas, intricately weaving flowing beats, warped guitars, sweet orchestrations, and gnarly bass.
