    *A NOTE ON SHIPPING COSTS*
    I get a lot of emails about the pricey shipping costs so I just want to address it here. I'm not scamming you. These are the actual costs of the US postal service priority mail right now. Especially shipping outside of the USA, the costs are very high, I know. I wish I could do something about it to make this more accessible but I can't. I only send priority mail now instead of a cheaper media mail because I've had so many issues in the past with things getting lost or destroyed if I don't send priority mail and then I end up having to reimburse the cost of the record as well as the shipping and I've lost a lot of money that way so this is really the only option for me shipping right now unfortunately. Just know that all the shipping costs are going towards actual postage, I'm not pocketing any money beyond the cost of the item. I understand if you can't stomach the shipping cost, I don't blame you....love you anyways :)

    Includes unlimited streaming of You Had Me At Goodbye via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

about

i wrote this song as response to the song "wichita lineman" by jimmy webb. i love that song and how vague and existential it is. i wanted to write a song from the perspective of the women that the wichita lineman is missing in the song. so i tried to be a bit corny in my usage of phone imagery. i tried to imagine what was keeping them apart and what their relationship was. that's really all this song is.

lyrics

I woke up to the thought of you/All alone in the heat of noon/And every chance that I get, when I pass a phone/I sing a song for you into the dial tone/And I know how it seems/But I smile when you call/Smile when you call/Smile when you call/I know work is work/We do what we gotta do/And I left you for somebody new/And although I’m tied in with a ring on my hand/I just can’t forget my Kansas lineman/And I know how it seems/But I smile when you call/Smile when you call/Smile when you call/Smile when you call/Oh those forbidden days/When your voice makes its way through the wire/Do you feel a little less tired?/Because I do/Smile when you call/Smile when you call/Smile when you call/Smile when you call/Smile when you call/Smile when you call
