Here You Are 03:38
HERE YOU ARE Where did you come from Starlight and chewing gum Stay with us here Stay for a hundred years Brass tacks and tissue paper Broiled up you little caper Stay with us here Stay for a hundred years I see your face and forget to ask it This galaxy in a tiny basket Little one You burning sun Drift into the slip and land her Go to sleep you weary rambler Here you are Yes, here you are Where did you come from Shoebox and sugar plum Stay with us here Stay for a hundred years Wheat-pasted funny paper Wrapped round and round to shape her Stay with us here Stay for a hundred years Cause here we go up back down Here we go up So here’s to love and to all things growing Forgetting things that we came knowing Little one You burning sun Here we stand at the subway station We’ll flail and fight in adoration Here you are You burning star I see your face and forget to ask it This galaxy in a tiny basket Little one You burning sun Drift into the slip and land her Go to sleep you weary rambler Here you are Yes here you are

Stop, Wait 03:04
STOP, WAIT Stop, stop wait Stop, stop wait, C’mon cmon. Sing to me my words and I’ll hear them like they’re new Love me with your hands and face and make it feel true I think we’re both pretend but it’s my best show yet I mean everything I say and I’ll give everything I get Can we sink inside this bed and trip against the lie Hearts and toes and collarbones and holding back a sigh I’m dreaming double dreams so baby please don’t tease Hold them all in you and you I squeeze between my knees Turn, turn back Turn, turn back again... (I want you to stay for one more day, I want you to stay) Give me back those seven years, the five when you were gone Cut back all the leaves in me, the storm is coming on I know I can pretend that he is dead in me I’m not making promises, I’m here to be set free

LONG HARD DAY It’s been a long, hard day And I’m coming home to you I’m coming home to you Next year It’s been a long, hard day And I’m coming home to you I’m coming home to you Next year We used to go dancing Down the road Stepped on your sneakers When we rode I knew that one day we’d grow old Not apart, not alone Not apart, not alone I’m coming home It’s been a long hard day We’ll gather what’s left at the bottom Together we’ll fight ‘til we caught ‘em And put them to bed Cause I’m coming home again I’m coming home I’m coming home again I’m coming home It’s been a long hard day (I’m coming home again) And I’m coming home to you (unlock the door again) I’m coming home to you (untie your shoes again) I’m coming home to you (I’m coming home) It’s been a long hard day It’s been a long hard day

Two Hearts 02:18
TWO HEARTS Two hearts beating from behind Two hearts beating, one is mine Your heart’s beating under mine Yours or mine We are fine We’ll make the light of day Two minds resting wanting time Trusting in what’s left behind All that’s kept are seeds and rinds Morning’s kind We are fine We’ll make the light of day Doo doo, doo doo doo doo... Two hearts beating from behind Two hearts beating, one is mine Your heart’s beating under mine Yours or mine We are fine We’ll make the light of day Doo doo, doo doo doo doo... Morning’s kind We are fine We’ll make the light of day

Morning 03:20
MORNING Morning is our time You and I, you and I Morning is our time Here it comes Here it comes again Go to sleep my love So morning comes So morning comes Go to sleep my love So morning comes So morning comes again Days and months and hours fly Stars are born and stars will die As we stay so still We stay so still Close your eyes and drift away Stay forever here this way As I hold my breath And your little hand Morning is our time You and I, you and I Morning is our time Here it comes (morning is our time) Here it comes again I don’t want to let you go I’d grab the earth and make it slow If it saved today If you’d stay this way But round and round and round we spin In our little bed of oxygen And we’ll greet the sun My little one Morning is our time (go to sleep my love You and I You and I (here it comes again) Morning is our time (here comes the sun) Here it comes Here it comes again (you and I, you and I) Days and months and hours fly Stars are born and stars will die As we stay so still, stay so still I don’t want to let you go I’d grab the earth and make it slow If it saved today If you’d stay this way Round and round and round we spin In our little bed of oxygen And we’ll greet the sun My little one Sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep Sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep It’s just you and me You and me and seven billion falling free Sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep As we spin and spin and spin and spin and spin Around and round this tiny pin, this tiny pin Sleep sleep sleep sleep As we sleep Sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep

about

Nothing about Call Me Spinster is ordinary. The closer you look at this trio of sisters from Chattanooga, Tennessee, the harder it is to locate something about their sound, background, or energy that delivers predictable results. From their arrangements that employ both pristine vocal harmonies and unorthodox instruments to the streaks of self-aware humor that sneak into their videos and social media presence, Call Me Spinster blurs old-timey traditions with modernized pop fun without ever landing in expected territory.


On their self-titled first EP of original material, Call Me Spinster manages to illuminate various keystones of their sound as they explore new impulses, the songs cohering around their steadfast musical vision, intricate personalities, and the type of telepathic musical connection that only siblings can share. It’s a brief introduction to their wide-reaching but somehow singular sound, and a stellar starting point for becoming acquainted with a band that’s truly unlike any other.
