Hold Still 02:52
This film was a great reminder Hold still if you choose to find her (The rules were meant to break for me) This tape has a different ending (At least you made a mess of me At least you got the best of me) Old reels will resurface unique (The rules were made to break for me) This film made me think the whole time Of her and her ways the whole time Hold still Hold still (At least you made a mess of me At least you got the best of me) This tape has a different ending (At least you made a mess of me At least you got the best of me) Old reels will resurface unique (The rules were made to break for me) This film Hold still This film made me think the whole time Of her and her ways the whole time This film made me think the whole time Of her and her ways the whole time

Take my fate And leave it outside today Make mistakes Ignore the outcome and wait The awful sound kept me away Your awkward poise Had much to say The obvious result Time wasn’t decent Or meant for us The ticking clock enumerates What our avoidance helped create The end will surely show Time wasn’t decent Or meant for us

Go To Sleep 02:58
Go to sleep I’ll be here When you wake Later on It will soon leave you Underneath all the pills And the gin Later on We will find nothing left Find and fill Your place with something else Now I fill Your place with someone else My stock in your kind is dead My stock in your kind is dead My stock ends
4.
Ride Home 03:38
For all the plans we made I should have stayed And took my chances When we were face-to-face At the same place Where I lost it When we cleared the shelves (Is this sign a reason) We erased ourselves (Is this sign a reason) We tried Took us down A new way home We failed The path was always Shorter alone We could ride home On the train We could get off At the closest station (Closest station) Walk an old path in the rain Leads us to your house again We tried Took us down A new way home We failed The path was always Shorter alone
5.
It changes my mind When you speak in time To my missteps Guiding the rest Tonight I’m gonna find Another bed to make Tonight I’m gonna find Another path to take Tonight I’m gonna find Another light to shine Tonight I’m gonna find A place and call it mine The wait is over (And we talk And we play And we talk)

Borders are coming down Militia men defeated First Jan steps down Then old joe Is finally unseated We’ll write new songs Protest the lawns Let’s post a blog To incite the racists We all can dream That things will be Better one day As control escapes us There’s a celebration At the right-wing station Where the guns are waiting

about

RAD-079:

10 year anniversary:
- All new drums by Timothy O’Brien (RIP Garageband drum loops)
- Updated vocals
- Updated bass on some songs
- Remixed
- Mastered for the first time!

What didn’t change from 2013:
- Same guitar tracks and effects
- Same vocal and bass effects on updated recordings
- Lyrics

Special thanks – Charles Barth, Robbie Pfeffer & Rubber Brother Records, Eric Thompson, Mitchell Hillman, Garageband drum loops, and anyone else who heard our early rough recordings of these songs and still believed in our potential to be slightly less rough sounding with future releases

Celebration Guns is preoccupied with time. It’s clear in the titles of their last two releases–2020’s On Aging Gracelessly and 2021’s The Visiting Years–and in their song titles: “Something About Hindsight in 2020,” “Old Man Yells at Cloud,” “Better Days,” “The Me That Used to Be.” The idea of a focus on time, the passing and wasting of it, isn’t anything new for an emo band. But the members of Celebration Guns aren’t teenagers pining for the good times with their ex, they’re all in their 30s, and they’ve been doing this for over a decade.

So when the words, “Can I repent for wasted years?” are choked out over a sparkling math riff, you know they mean it. There are any number of bands out there who want to be the next Algernon, the next Snowing, the next Hightide Hotel–and a lot of them rock. Celebration Guns isn’t doing that. They’re just trying to make the music they want to make. There are elements they share with bands like those, though, the bright and jaunty leads, the sticky pop-rock hooks, the wild time signatures. When it comes from Celebration Guns, it just sounds more real, somehow. Call it aging gracefully.
