Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Midweek loneliness, AM radio
Tape hiss sounds like rain
We recorded it before anyone asked
Half-inch tape in Portland air
[Chorus]
On the particular quiet of Wednesday evenings
Splice clicks left in like a clock
Mixed entirely on tape
No digital edits to unlock
[Verse 2]
The band left the tape splice clicks in
They sounded like a clock ticking
Wednesday evening on the tape
And the loneliness was thick and quick
[Chorus]
On the particular quiet of Wednesday evenings
Splice clicks left in like a clock
Mixed entirely on tape
No digital edits to unlock
[Bridge]
AM radio hums through the night
Midweek and no one around
Tape hiss sounds like rain outside
And no digital edit found
[Chorus]
On the particular quiet of Wednesday evenings
Splice clicks left in like a clock
Mixed entirely on tape
No digital edits to unlock
[Outro]
Midweek loneliness
AM radio
