about

This Thing Called We

I won’t watch while you wander away
I don’t want to watch while you wander away
From here, from me
This thing called we

I broke the glass and I brought down the blinds
I gave my hands and I stopped asking why
From you, from me
This thing called we

I’d wait a thousand years (and then we’ll move on)

I’d call you down but you’ll always remain
Stationed to the wall at Chapel Cabaret
Up there, from me
This thing called we

I won’t watch while the others observe
The last thing that we get is the first we deserve
That’s you, that’s me
This thing called we

I’d wait a thousand years (and then we’ll move on)
Only to have you here (and then we’ll move on)

We don’t know
Who we are
Where we’ve been
When we’ll be restored

I’d wait a thousand years (and then we’ll move on)
Only to have you here (and then we’ll move on)

about

Northern Arms Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Northern Arms are masters of haunting moods and striking storytelling. Helmed by singer and songwriter Keith Richard Peirce, the ten-piece band incorporates dark imagery with a musical mystique that hits on jazz, folk, and gospel, and blends it with gothic Americana in the vein of 16th Horsepower, Tom Waits and legendary Austin cult faves Lift to Experience.
- John Vettese, WXPN The Key
