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

It’s not a good time
I’ve got a lot on my mind
And I just feel like going home

It’s all I can say
To keep you away
And keep my phantom world condoned

There’s a part of me that wants to be
On the good side of the analogy
But I don’t have the right to throw in one more fight
And say that you’re just being cold

I’m getting old
This sadness is familiar
And my first romantic impulse is to fold
Nobody told me
What I’d have to cover
Or my future in another dying soul
I’m getting old

That night in November
Is all I remember when
She asks me who you are

She already knows
And so she supposes
That you simply broke my heart

I would be polite if she were right
And at least I’d take her out tonight
But I don’t care to stand before the promised land
Pretending I should feel consoled

I’m getting old
My pride is just a memory
And this emptiness is all I have to show
I could behold
A thousand brilliant colors
And not recognize the pallor of my own
I’m getting old

The mystery in what you see
Is right before your eyes
It’s hardly a surprise that I’m alone
Apologies aren’t new to me
So don’t pretend I’m owed
I know exactly why you have to go

You’ll see me quite often
It’s usually the common tale
That’s never really told

I’m getting old
I’m tired of running backwards
But I just can’t find a forward way to go
My life unfolds
One cross after the other
But I don’t know how to play another role
‘Cause I’m getting old
