Andrew Jervis Making heartfelt, a little eccentric, folk-leaning pop, Jacob Snider is definitely one to watch. Favorite track: Try To Hide It.

every night will you try to be on my side if we're not if we fight will you run and hide so speaks her gaze he knows it too well she's got something to say and it's tearing her up but the kid's in the way every night will you try to be on my side if we're not if we fight will you run and hide so speaks her gaze I know it too well she's got something to say this time she says it outloud I think I don't mean to do what I do that can't be me as told by you maybe sometime I'll speak my mind and sing it straight my love and be on your side if we're not if we fight will I run and hide so speaks my gaze you know it too well I've got something to say and it's tearing me up but the kid's in the way every night will you try we will fight we will cry save for the light on the front porch at night there is nothing that shines no one gets out alive it comes as surprise worse than I feared how can you leave babies and years and though I try to speak my mind I can't sing it straight my love or be on your side

I am in the wrong I have the right and though I wanted it all to be all right there is something in my blood and I am not all right nice to ask if I need a meal on the sidewalk how am I to feel? that a question? or just really: "you are not all right" you don't let me be what I oughta be why do I become a lie? words I say even if planned out tend to change from a whisper to a shout what happened to the power that lit my way? nothing's neat arranging for an audience though I train to speak in my defense I am unprepared to fight when I am not all right they don't let me be what I oughta be why do I become a lie? I am not all right do I have to yell? why can't they see through this shell? I wonder sincerely wanted it all to be all right but there's something in my blood and I am not all right I am not all right

Carrier 03:14
I'd say I hope someone gives you a taste of your own medicine seems that someone gave you too many rounds of something empty I don't wish you well and now diseased you spread it around unwittingly and tragically I call you a carrier you're called a carrier if and when you happen to lick yourself accidentally you may swallow what you carry well and now diseased you spread it around unwittingly and tragically I call you a carrier you're called a carrier I call you a carrier made me a carrier

tell me what's the worst thing that could happen? all I'm saying is don't try to hide it I'll tell you what'll calm you down I've seen it all I've been around kitchen flower I see her in the harvest in the darkness sunlit river catskill trees that tower under stars I'll tell you what'll calm you down they've seen it all they've been around and live past human clockwork think it over there's no rush to talk and talk but tell me what's the worst thing that could happen? I'll tell you what her bike went down she screamed a last call from the ground all I'm saying is don't try to hide

To Think I 03:02
how dare you make me lose my train interrupt with nothing to say an off the mark remark to decode and deal with you make assumptions and they are wrong you make your voice and opinion known you make yourself at home uninvited how will I tell off a now known toxin? can I just leave silently walk away I spend a whole lotta time thinking up what to say so I have to fend you off silence doesn't do the job to deflect your unrelenting mission some level know you're missing the mark only makes you louder bark more shots in the dark same ammunition how will I tell off a now known toxin? can I just leave silently walk away I spend a whole lotta time thinking up what to say It's tasteless so it mixes well with a smile or I'm joking pal entry you allow toxic your body tells you something is wrong either to continue along or if not what to say and in what tongue? how will I tell off a well known toxin? I just leave silently walk away to think I spent a whole lotta time thinking up what to say

constellation I hate it being along news doesn't come my way a half choice of my own when the well had run itself dry I settled down out among rusted leaves brave is being alone if you wanna know, you find out off but not by much was bad intelligence abandon ship if the wind picks up again I will not hear no one do I seek with hell to raise rain's bound to come I'm out here all alone if you wanna know, you find out I wasn't built for this labyrinth no one lives nothing grows hate is being alone if you wanna know, you find out

I am the oldest one one among heavy litter we must have lost the course of course I won't tell the youngers welcome back come aboard take a map draw the oar there's a crack in the hull but keep it quiet keep it low smile onward god's love is so kind no one can tell you who is the captain is anyone gonna save the ship ocean water keeps coming in and nothing will make it quit I climb to the highest point I pray for a shoal to come under I stare into the eyes of ghosts the crew is starting to whisper majors all have to meet you might want to take a seat there's a crack in the hull so keep it quiet keep it low smile onward god's love is so kind no one can tell you who is the captain is anyone gonna save the ship no shit water keeps coming in and nothing will make it quit used to know who not anymore are we gonna make it? and what does make it mean?

Foreground 04:25
streetlamp is lonely how can it be that a gentle halo upon receiving such silence still forgives each visitor approaching? those background lies latent fears they always rage to the foreground run up from the underground small change makes noise the mother who mentions a bike out of nowhere reveals a window quietly inviting you to open and give form the shapeless
