about

It's Happening took on many shapes over the course of it's 5-6 year writing process. At it's earliest point, it contained a mini album within it, songs that were written about a romanticized instance of living with Brigid Pierce. At the time, we had a very good relationship and were co-captains of the ship we helmed. We were growing terrible weed and were collaborating and living out our fantastical lives. I wrote 5 songs about the Wasteland we lived in. This is the first one.

lyrics

I woke up beneath the Sunset Tree
It confirmed what I firmly believe in
See, it's as simple as a blade of grass
All it does is breathe

If it rained diamonds, we'd be rich
But we'd forget the more there is
The more they will increase in pricelessness

This ship runs on confidence
And constant spirits, honest spirits
Promise and a bland appearance
Take the trouble with the treants

Nothing like living in the Westland Wasteland
Think you can take our joy when you take our things?
We'll throw a party with all of the best men
Gonna get real high, gonna grow green wings
So grab your barrel if you play the drums
Our captain plays 360, our pilot does the drugs
Sing a song, if you think it's dumb, sing a song
Just give it a go cause you can't go wrong

This ship runs on confidence
And constant spirits, honest spirits
Promise and a bland appearance
Take the trouble with the treants

It seems that if we grew a forest then we'd have a place to stay
We'll plan our schemes by the order
We'll plant our seeds by the water
For lonely artists who are tired and they need a place to stay
We'll build our homes to the thunder
We'll sing our songs to the water
For the magic that remains in our periphery
It's just slightly out of reach
Don't keep reaching
Start building
Even if supplies are scarce, keep building
If the windows slamming shut, keep building
When the darkness covets light, keep building
The darkness and the light keep building

about

The Pineapple Army Michigan

I've always been terrible at writing biographies so why stop now. We're probably a band from Michigan. We don't adhere to a specific genre which causes mild schizophrenia in certain individuals. We will write commercial jingles for the right price and we do NOT play at weddings, only funerals. ... more
