Half Alive
On my dime a dozen mornings
You can smell the sweet salt rain
And the bitterness that rots beneath the land
It’s a long line of raw deals, honey
In this crooked game
I’m just sorry it was me that
Dealt your hand
One or two white lies
And then God’s honest truth
I was only half alive
Without you
In my dime a dozen daydreams
I am running hard and wild
Where the sky is held up
By the snowy pines
I’m not running for my future
I’m just running for my life
And to fall across that
Golden state line
One or two white lies
And then God’s honest truth
I was only half alive
Without you
On my dime a dozen death bed
I will dream up gentle hands
That tried to wring some goodness
From these bones
If you can’t outrun your history
You don’t stand a goddamn chance
And in my dreams
I’m always running home
Time can tell no lies
And my time’s coming soon
I was only half alive
I was never really alive
I was only half alive
Without you

I love these alternative versions of the 'Murmuration' songs. The stripped down instrumentation creates an intimite vibe, while the poem intertwines them into a concept-like album. As a result, this is a new album that stands out on its own and that is more than just a complement to 'Murmuration'. 'Ordinary' already was a beautiful song, yet 'Extraordinary' adds something extra for me. And because the piano intro somehow calls up some recognition. Another beautiful album by Emily Barker! rbergman
Inspired by John Carpenter’s 1974 film “Dark Star,” the beautifully moody songs on this LP present a voyage into the unknown. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 21, 2021

Kris, this is a fantastic record. I don’t normally get as excited over best of’s, but this is so well done. New versions of already excellent songs, bringing new perspectives and some excellent new songs to boot. I highly recommend it; anyone that’s thinking “naw it’s just a mash-up of existing songs”, it’s definitely not - buy it, you won’t regret it. poolo
