Aleph nul "When I Decide to Kill You" is such a fantastic bad friendship song. Favorite track: When I Decide.

Paavo Bergmann One of my favourite albums. Of all.
I like both Nataly and Lauren on their own a lot, but their collaboration is something very special. "Room for ghosts" came out just when it was time for me to move on in my life, and it fit perfectly. Thanks, you two! Favorite track: The Daylight Here.

Alex Marshall You'd think that two really rather different artists would make an album that feels quite jarring, but not this time. Nataly and Lauren come together to make a wonderfully smooth and musically sublime album experience. Favorite track: The Daylight Here.

Darlin' there's a river near the house where I grew up And I think it might be moving fast enough And there's a silence there so thick that you could stick a knife in it Or anything that you've been dreaming of And you should know that my affections are always true And my heart's got a tricky valve that beats for nobody but you And when I decide to kill you I'll do it with my hands And fine gloves worth the death of a gentleman My words may seem mighty hollow But don't doubt that I can 'Cos I've got long fingers for a woman Last night I found a note you wrote and left inside my room And picked apart the words you didn't choose I wrote out every one and then I hid them around your room This love is bound with heart and guts and glue May I say that my intentions are through and through And there's a twitch in my left eyebrow that tics for nobody but you And when I decide to kill you I'll do it with my hands And fine gloves worth the death of a gentleman My words may seem mighty hollow But don't doubt that I can 'Cos I've got long fingers for a woman If I should seem distracted Oh, you needn't be confused 'Cos darlin', you have no idea the things I'd do for you There's a hole that's in the wall there And I put it there for you 'Cos darlin' you have no idea the things I'd do to you And when I decide to kill you I'll do it with my hands And fine gloves worth the death of a gentleman My words may seem mighty hollow But don't doubt that I can 'Cos I've got long fingers for a woman

To my mother, I'll be sorry that I gotta go To my brother, I'll be sorry that I gotta go To you I wish that I could say I wish you well But I think I'll be waiting until I'm honestly able. I'm sure the air is lighter on the seas In every city settled far away from me Now I'm negotiating with the fear That something's wrong with the daylight here And I can't fix it. Crooked or kind, if I'm free, if I'm fine Either way, whatever I do Whichever coast, there'll be room there for ghosts Either way, I'll be thinking of you. When gone I have sworn that I will worry not Of satisfaction, justice, or the will of God I'm not sure there's any difference in the three Whatever the conscience decrees I hope we both feel right. Crooked or kind, if I'm free, if I'm fine Either way, whatever I do Whichever coast, there'll be room there for ghosts Either way, I'll be thinking of you.

We don't always see eye to eye But we see how the time's flying by And we live with a daunting suspicion That it might not go into remission So against all the odds we're competing Though we don't know for sure what we're reading In the old testament we'd get fire and torment But the new one says something 'bout healing We're dying to live We're trying to live We're dying to live Cause there's so much to live for Miracles don't seem all that fair If I were God I would know who to scare And I'd try to repay all the losses That were caused by incompetent bosses They knew how to launch an attack While unarmed you lay flat on your back And wait for the poison to cure you Since faith ain't enough to insure you We're dying to live Cause there's so much to live for Angels always get the best lines Fear not must have worked back in biblical times But we're full of the facts it's the cross on our backs When we pray are we just closing our eyes
