On it, you'll find the original HD studio masters in their native 24/96 sample rate, the highest possible quality VBR MP3 transcodes of the master CD, lyrics, the original artwork and charts, and a short note from me with some thoughts about the album and how to best take advantage of the high definition FLAC files on the drive.

  • Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    This is an extremely limited edition 2 LP set of Tears of Men in 180 gram audiophile Vinyl, replete with custom artwork. There are 250 in Black and 250 in Blue Colorlight (please specify which you'd prefer in your order). The black sounds slightly better, however, I may at some point repress in Black if there is demand, whereas the 250 in blue are the only ones that will ever exist. Of course, you'll also get a free digital copy of the album along with your purchase, but frankly, the Vinyl sounds infinitely better than the digital could ever dream to.

lyrics

Can't you see?
We've crafted a perfect tautology
We'll scare up a victory face
To cap this improbable race

Suddenly
We're living the life that we ought to be
We don't even have to keep score
We can't really fight anymore

Could it be
That we have finally arrived?
Do you think that we made it on time?
I suppose it's ok if there's still a song to play

Do you think they're all waiting for you?
Do we even have half a clue
Of what we're supposed to do?

But it's alright
I know that it's been a long fight
I'm an older man
It was hardly a high school romance
In the end
I wish we'd been better friends

I miss you Catherine

It's quite a sight
To see you awash in the limelight
Your eyes have a tenebrous haze
A subtly resigned kind of glaze

I hope you're right
You look so abandoned tonight
I don't even know how to answer
What will change if I say I was afraid it would end this way?

The world is entirely too small
You won't ever escape it all
Eventually the act's got to fall

But it's alright
I barely remember the last fight
I'm an older man
And I'm not even sure that I knew you
By the end
We should have been better friends

I miss you Catherine

Quiet night
The very last leg of a long flight
I'll be home soon
I'll leave the rationalizing all to you

Just let it be
You wouldn't do well to see me
I'm scarcely the man that you knew
But I still can remember a younger you...

And it's alright
It's not worth beginning a new fight
I'm an older man
It's enough just to think that you're happy
With the end
I can't make us better friends

I miss you Catherine
