Saw the preacher pass by Armstrong’s gate
The way he walks his life is the way he walks his fate
Didn’t hear the brass band playin’
Callin’ for the saints to come marchin’ in
To these streets that I ride
Streets that I ride
Streets that I ride
Streets that I ride
The Shepherd’s got his cane, he’s got his flute
Gonna play his horn all the day through
Better listen good cause he’s one of the best
(and) he’s playin’ for you
In these streets that I ride
Streets that I ride
Streets that I ride
Streets that I ride
Washington, if your honesty is true,
Tell Jackson and Napoleon too,
It’s so hard to live outside the cracks
Somebody’s got to come, bring our people back
From these streets
Streets that I ride
Streets that I ride
Streets that I ride
(solo)
So here I am, I’m authentically me,
I ride these streets and I see the things that I see
I’m gonna lay all my burdens down by the river side
And hope I can survive
Within these streets that I ride
Streets that I ride
Streets that I ride
Streets that I ride

This remix LP reframes songs from Dear Nora’s “Skull Example,” sometimes making them sleeker, sometimes disassembling them entirely. Bandcamp New & Notable May 14, 2019
This restless experimental band bounces from bossa nova to indiepop to math rock to freak folk for songs that are curious and wide-ranging. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 28, 2018
