Stop and Smell Thee Roses Lyrics

NOt to say that we're not fortunate to be born in a world that encourages us to grow, but sometimes propetual motion moves so slow.
Hungry for a change of scenery and drive north in search of snow, were you prepared for certan shadows to fallow you everywhere that you go.
My body's been decaying all this time, and now it's finally starting to show.
Are you having second thoughts about that path that you chose.
Now that the fire in your eye has burned down like coals to a warm consistant glow.
Well hey the smoke has cleared, you regain the use of your nose.
So take a second now to stop and smell the roses, just like you never thought you had time but always thought that you should.
At least for now it's okay to take life in smaller doses, something new has come to town seems like it's doin you good.
And
I've come to a new town, sure it's somewhat the same.
It feels good to be aware of but still not focus on the cause behind that pain.
Sometimes when the moon is right it feels like every inch of nothing's changed, but in some way but not for one second has it stayed the same.
So you remember to eat dinner, remember to feel better.
Remember your friends will think that you forgot them if you only write in secret letters.
Remember not to focus on the feelings that you lack, just might give yourself a heart attack.

"Less of a band than an exuberant orbit of bright weird planets circling the joyful kinesis of main-songster Theo Hilton, Nana Grizol's debut album "Love It Love It" sees release on Orange Twin on May 13, 2008. Recorded in their hometown of Athens Georgia directly after a month-long tour of DIY spaces across the States, this record finds the band brimming with energy and rightly well-honed where live performance is concerned; "Love It Love It" sacrifices none of the band's beloved, sweat-stained essence.
The crew augments Theo's book-open vocals and beautiful fingerpicking with a suitably eclectic array of instrumentation. Laura Carter and Robbie Cucchiaro, both formerly of Athens' legendary and notoriously horn-buoyed Neutral Milk Hotel, head up a brass-and-winds section comprised of Laura's celebratory trumpet, Robbie's Baritone Euphonium, a couple clarinets, harmonica, recorder and whatever else you can pack into a touring-trunk and bring along for a blast. Rhythmic backbone comes courtesy of Southern punkrock siren Madeline Adams' bass, Matte Cathcart's drumming and some right-on Fender Rhodes piano provided by Hot New Mexicans' mainman Patrick Jennings.

The catchy, heartfelt crunch of the album's opener, "Circles Round The Moon," segues seamlessly into the brassy, beautiful circus-lullaby, "Tambourine-n-Thyme." Things get sad and stripped down with "Tiny Rainbows" -- a gentle plaint nudged toward the light by the brilliant horns. And "Broken Cityscapes" gets positively naked: Theo's adamant vocal sounds above his acoustic guitar and a couple rattles.

Theo's lyrical voice is ruralist, lovelorn and punkrock in the most primal way: he looks to explicate a world gone way wrong on the most basic, inhumane levels. Experiences gained on the touring road and at his home at the Orange Twin Conservation Community have led him to question the empty life of the modern American, and the disquieting ways the inherent Dystopia have made itself manifest on our own interior landscapes."
