Sylvia 03:25
It's the same old set And you know what's left And you circle about don't go there now Can we not express What they meant by it if you're cold and wordy Keep me up all day Within (or without) But I don't want more What you hear through the floor Singing muffled by years Crawling through broken chandeliers Sylvia (would you sync back without them?) How would you know? How would you know or feel? (Sylvia) How would you know How would you know fear? (Sylvia) How would you know How would you know What you know yet? (Sylvia) And I do my best Though I haunted it And I wanted it to rest But you go open past wounds again How would you know? How would you know fear? (Sylvia) How would you know How would you know or feel? (Sylvia) How would you know How would you know What to show them? What to show them?

to my delight deny you're not about to burn it up And if you tell me anything Then I will say my peace And then give up It keeps you below It keeps you there by the phone With your ends all straightened up It keeps you the same It keeps you all done and divided It never seems any other way But you, you see It's never gonna be It's never gonna be what you thought up Do you feel like it was all that you wanted And everything that you were sold But it's not yours No it's not yours It's theirs now And it can't be bought back And all that you can do is remove yourself from the truth

about

songs written, recorded and mixed by The Hydrogen Trees using out-dated cassette tape equipment and poor quality instruments.

Sylvia was recorded on a Tascam 4-track that has seen better days and then mixed down to a stereo cassette deck.

Pyrite Suplex was recorded through the built in mic of an old Ferguson mono cassette recorder, with minor overdubs added in mixdown to the stereo deck

about

The Hydrogen Trees Scarborough, UK

In the back bedroom of a Scarborough terraced house strange little songs are grown on old cassette tapes; the misshapen fruit of the hydrogen trees.
