I stood at the top of the highest mountain
And still couldn’t see the light
And I walked the width of the universe
To lengthen this short sight
So we’ll rally the troops, let’s go to war
And die side by side
The sun will set, scarlet red
Sat in a Monet sky
Side by side we’ll die
Is it so hard to be
Hard to be free
When everything is crumbling
And it’s hard to feel
Like I’m not on a spinning wheel
Round in circles tumbling
I thought I conquered the unconquerable
But there’s nothing to show for it
You look at me, your eyes so miserable
And it’s so hard to admit
I’m the reason for it
Is it so hard to be
Hard to be free
When everything is crumbling
And it’s hard to feel
Like I’m not on a spinning wheel
Round in circles tumbling
The stage is set for war
Hear the peasants roar
The stage is set for war
Leave them wanting more
Is it so hard to be
Hard to be free
When everything is crumbling
And it’s hard to feel
Like I haven’t burnt the last reel
The finale is a mystery

Guthrie sounds lovely. It was originally released as a Japan-only bonus track on Little Oblivions. Thanks for sharing these with the fans, can't wait to hear the other two when they are released! Dave Wirth

I just started listening to this album today and am IN LOVE! Every track is perfect.
I'm slightly sad I didn't start listening to boygenius until but happy to be a fan of their music <3 lissie_a
Released in 2001, “The Convincer” is a gentle gem in the Nick Lowe catalog; an anniversary edition provides opportunity for rediscovery. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 20, 2021
