I’m still living with a curse From the time I tried to unify the multiverse Now it shows me everything I’ve done and seen Said before and in between Can’t forget a thing Can’t forget one damn thing no Doesn’t feel like I am free This light it owns me Strips me down Forces me to be At peace with all I’ve done Thought before And used to dream. Can’t forget a thing Can’t forget one damn thing I’m still living with a curse From the time I tried to unify the multiverse Now it shows me everything I’ve done and seen Said before and in between Can’t forget a thing Can’t forget one damn thing no

Hey hey Mr. Lonely Who you hiding from Sit in your house Doing nothing What the hell is wrong Linger all day Wasting your life away Hey hey Mr. Lonely How long you been inside Open up some Take a chance now Get yourself some pride It ain’t a sin To let somebody in He hey Mr. Lonely My time is done The world is waiting Waiting for you Can you overcome You’ll shine in the sun Cause you know I’m always there

It's a shame I can't repay The worst you done to me. More than sure It's well deserved Forgiving won't be easy. Stop leading me on It's not mine Stop dragging this on It's not mine anymore. How many times I bought the line You were In it for me The return Same old burn This time it’s on me Stop leading me on It's not mine Stop dragging this on It's not mine anymore. It's a shame I can't repay The worst you done to me. More than sure It's well deserved Forgiving won't be easy.

More I Can Do 02:29
lyrics

We were fading Barely alive Understated Cold and contrived. I've got no rights over you It's not mine left to choose Go live the life that you wanted Got me thinking there's Something more I can do Forget the reason Just slow your mind It's worth saving If we take the time. I've got no rights over you It's not mine left to choose Go live the life that you wanted Got me thinking there's Something more I can do I was lazy Couldn't make things right Forever taking Never once provide

Sent her off in the loudest way There was no cause for it I was so enraged I was Held the pain for several days Until it would finally fade But by then It was too late. Eyes never focus again Lost in the notion Desperate to welcome you in. Don't know why IIt takes so long To get past the wrong If I only tried If I.. Eyes never focus again Lost in the notion Desperate to welcome you in.

Take it all Take it in I can’t believe it All the ways you tried To slow me down I don’t notice I don’t notice Don’t think at all Just take it in I can’t believe it How many times you tried To hold me down I don’t notice I don’t notice Take it all Take it in I can’t believe it Of all the ways you tried To shut me down I don’t notice I don’t notice Can’t think it all Just take it in I can’t believe it All the ways you tried To hold me down

What You're After 03:06

Feel it coming oh no Got to have it more and more Give me something Soft and slow Oh ease this mind Thoughts coming on so quick Step aside I need that fix Tell my brain to throw the switch It's time to ride. When all you are Is what you're after.. You can roll But it won't show It all goes away Best now to Settle your debts Just simple cause and effect Oh that feeling I've come to expect Leaves me every time. I've got lifetimes left to master It's so slow But I know It all goes away. Feel it coming oh no Got to have it more and more Give me something Soft and slow Oh ease this mind

I’d like to thank you for tonight I really had a super time I think I drank way too much wine I’ll be alright Just one thing I want to say Before you come home with me Take a good look at what you see And before you stay with me Lets be clear You won’t want me here In the morning The sun is up and your still here You didn’t fully get the plan What was so hard to understand Before you came home with me We agreed you would leave And before you stayed with me We were clear You would not be here In the morning

Wish Them Peace 04:10

You don't have to worry About the beginning or the end You don't have to worry Why light bends The only thing that matters Is how you treat a friend Wish them peace You don't have to change them It’s just the way it is You don't have to save them To help with how it is The only thing that matters Is how you treat a friend Wish them peace You don’t have to worry I’m here to help you thru You don’t have to worry This love will get you thru The only thing that matters Is how you treat a friend Wish them peace I was looking for I was searching for my way I was leaning on Counting on some grace. I was trying For a little kindness Just a little timing Can you give it to me I finally see What you mean We’re halfway to the bottom I was climbing Tethered to this lightning Hell bent on finding Oh.. Oh give me silence to breathe. I was tired Slaving to desire Grasping at this fire Oh, where’s my relief I finally see what you mean We’re halfway to the bottom yeah. Lets go forward Get me off this ocean Stop this standing motion Oh Oh give me silence to breathe.

about

Building on the blend of driving Southern California psych rock and surf-gaze melodies unearthed in its first two studio outings, Los Angeles-based Particle Wave raise the bar this spring with its third studio LP, Grand Unifier.

The new recording represents a brush with the past for Particle Wave, as the quartet reconvened in late 2013 at New Monkey Studios in Van Nuys, Calif., site of their first recording (2009’s Interference Pattern). Continuing on that theme, the quartet enlisted the services of producer Nick Luca (Iron and Wine, Calexico, Neko Case), who also manned the boards for Interference Pattern. The sessions yielded a familiar and comfortable vibe resulting in the band’s most dense and challenging recording to date. By stepping into the past, Particle Wave has conjured up its vision for the future.

A hauntingly melodic musical and lyrical journey, Grand Unifier invokes the experience of bittersweet enlightenment balanced with simple, yet unshakable optimism. Using Interference Pattern and 2011’s sophomore effort Painting On Shadows as stepping stones, Grand Unifier delivers a humble homage to the group’s classic rock roots and influences, while expanding sonic boundaries to create a modern garage rock sound. By layering a fearless mix of ethereal effects-driven guitars riffs and complimentary keyboard licks on top of a rock-steady rhythm core, Particle Wave took aim at advancing that smooth California style and tone present in its earlier efforts. The result is authentic and lush soundscapes that are both elegant and extremely listenable.

Particle Wave’s journey began in 2006 when long-time friends Chase Harris (The Meeting Places), Brian Arthurs and Bryce Stoddart joined forces with songwriter Greg Maechling.
