You know grandma went crazy
Stayed up all night talking through her teeth
And when I think about my family
Who hasn’t thought they might just lose it completely
And when I look at my brother
And there’s no sense to his face
Just a why are you looking at me
It’s nothing I could explain
A good man is just a man
If my mom got real sick
So she couldn’t recognize me
Could I still be her baby
If she fought me off like a thief
And for my friend who hit his head
Spent four years now recovering
Still has some trouble with his memory
What if he’d lost it completely
A good man is just a man
When I look at my reflection
And see a shadow of a person
Someone who lost his head
Someone who might as well go out killing

Nobody writes songs like Shy Boys: gooey pop miniatures, odes to the melancholy and mundane. Talk Loud is their densest and biggest album yet, lush with keyboards, coloring their Smile-era Beach Boys sound with tinges of '80s Genesis, XTC, and Yes. Can't wait to hear the vinyl. Tyler McGaughey
