Sinking ship, how long can you hold still? Your illness spills against my face Sinking ship, how long can you hold still? Oh, can’t you feel the coming waves A perfect Sunday portrait of my mother painting horses all alone Of lovers and of leavers still believing they are free to come back home Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Sinking ship, how long can you hold still? Your illness is all that you are A portrait of my father as a baby sleeping underneath the stars A small pill of forgiveness I am giving to myself, it’s what I need A small gift of fulfilment I am hoping you will open and receive Ooh Ooh Ooh Oo-ooh Sinking ship, how long can you hold still? Your illness fills this empty room A portrait of your lover softly drowning in the warm waters of June A perfect Sunday portrait of my mother sending signals through the drum A portrait of my sadness finding shelter in the safety of my home Ooh Ooh Ooh Oo-ooh

kills me how many beautiful unreleased songs they have
At least we can hear them!
This song should've been re recorded for "On Avery Island
This one has a strong Elliott Smith vibe to it.
This is so great!! I love fan made NMH videos. This totally looks like something Jeff would enjoy.

I love that Steampunk/Turn of the century vibe I get from them like Im nostalgic for a time period literally nobody I know was alive for. ❤
Love the sea horses! man, so meaningful.
Holy cow I love that song, and this video is perfect.
If only this was on Spotify…

I really hate it
@@kingamity1985 ion remember asking
@@Vaeren222 you stated your opinion you gotta be ready for others opinions
@@benmosher8895 I agree
I like it buddy
I wish they released this
EGStein they did it’s on invent yourself a shortcake
@@karolbielik1966 I'm talking about a official release, not a demo tape
@@RockfordRoe yeah and unfortunately it’s one of the only songs on the Shortcake demo that isn’t just noodly bullshit.
@@iamdamosuzuki_ that tape was meant to be more collage sounds than a real album, or "sounds of sounds"
Hey another furry who listens to NMH! That’s really great (:
I whole heartily believe this song is about crippling depression
where's the footage from?
Jack's Dream - Joseph Cornell
any idea when this recording is from?
this is a beautiful, perfectly crafted video
