The song, "Let it Grow" is on the album, These Good Days Last by Aware of the Bear

lyrics

Let it Grow

Contentment settles like dust in the attic of my mind
Comfort is a sickness that leads to pain
Sleep is a coward state for one who can’t face life
Green grass now works to keep me from my task

Trees sing in low whispers so that I must raise my head
I’m blinded by the Sun, who is my enemy
He teases me with intermittent warmth and shade
The birds are causing tricks with my ears

Keep off the lawn
There’s a sign that’s written wrong
Let it grow is a better way to say
That I have fear and Death is always near
But standing still won’t make him go away

How pretty are the vibrant colors of hanging baskets
That choke my inspiration as I’m forced to gaze
How precise and finely trimmed are the leaves
That cut me as I watch their endless sway

Trees sing in low whispers so that I must raise my head
I’m blinded by the Sun, who is my enemy
He teases me with intermittent warmth and shade
The birds are causing tricks with my ears

Keep off the lawn
There’s a sign that’s written wrong
Let it grow is a better way to say
That I have fear and Death is always near
But standing still won’t make him go away

Keep off the lawn
There’s a sign that’s written wrong
Let it grow is a better way to say
That I have fear and Death is always near
But standing still won’t make him go away

Let it grow

"Aware of the Bear writes pop gems with melodies reminiscent of Wilco and Big Star - with maybe a little Badly Drawn Boy thrown in for good measure. The horn section driven Unified Theory is a great example of his retro-leaning production skills, intelligent lyrics, and vocal style." ... more
