Cada Año 03:11
talk all that you want, there's no hand to mediate, no left-minded heart to bait in Saturday sun you look like you're wise, maybe you've come along, remorse beats inside your songs, well, what have we learned? some things I need are living away from here, but those chords, they still hold me dear and I'm not done yet all while some dream is happening while you're awake, you've been staying up too late, I could read in your eyes you should stop giving up while they're acting unconcerned, just 'cause the coals don't burn, you're still sparking light of all that you want, there's my hand to mediate, my confounded heart to bait in Saturday sun

loosen out the rope swings, and play with all the sun spring was our messiah, and summer is turning on and I want to be calm fly from open windows, and land beneath the shades chance with all the car rides, you're young, and that's my face and I want to be calm tried to reach the ceiling, no more dreaming dark be young while climbing dogwoods, I won't be drifting far and I want to be calm and I want to be done

if there was a way I could move around all of these trees, then you could show me how to make all of this easier from all of the hints that you drop, I really never heard them for what they are and I am thankful for the canopy that keeps on shading me from the sun I just need to hear your voice I know you don't make sense until later on, I just don't prefer all of this waiting 'cause when I looked, there was nothing there, then they left, now it's like I owe them all something better so did I waste all this time lying in pastures, for thinking of lessons I won't remember? I just need to hear your voice so I'll watch the leaves just float on by, and it's faster when I close my eyes, and you didn't care when I lied, but only for a little while

Field Hymn 02:09
stop and look, the birds are flying north I watched them tower over in December but I stay here, in the field where the lilies never die, I live your lie the leaves are born, the birds are flying north you lost and found your lover in November but I'll stay here, in this field where the lilies never die, I miss my life close your eyes, the birds are all up north I watched them tower over in December you're nowhere near the lonely field where the lilies never die, and you are just fine
6.
well I spent another week living in hell what's wrong here? she passed it down to me, didn't get to see what's wrong here she said, "what's the deal with you? I cannot deal with you much longer than I should." can you wait for whatever you're turning from?

Equinox 03:04
lips close as I said I'm only as good as dead the world just left us here, and I can't feel a thing, so watch me close my eyes that no one could satisfy you are selfless, can't you see? and you are far too different from me and I can feel my heart go lower as you walk away you used to drive all night, and you would call me, and see if I might go with you out in the dark, and I loved the idea, but I don't know who you are when you talked like you had plans, 'cause you were older than I could stand with the light on, I thought of a meaning of what I swear, I swear I'm feeling but I know it can't be true, I'm too dumb to do that to you. and I can feel my heart go lower as you walk away

with the water in my eyes, I am petrified the sun is way too bright, I am not alright believe me, I don't want this perfect bodies don't understand, everybody has got their man with the sunlight going down, I am out of time the spotlight is burning out, no, it's not right believe me, I don't want this perfect bodies don't understand, everybody has got their man
10.
there's no believing Anna Belle's father, he really wants her to live at home so long, all you Terry and Julie's, most of them fall out halfway through Lily, don't wonder why, I'll keep driving high I wonder what comes of living in shelters, when you used to live downtown open your eyes and wash your hair, tomorrow is a newfound way to be living Lily, don't wonder why, I'll keep driving high there was a stillness while reading Ephesians, the mothers that heard it wept all night I've got a future next to the harbor, got no money and I'm a little bit nervous Lily, don't wonder why, I'll keep driving high
11.
I Was Tall 08:13
you punched me in the mouth, and I started bleeding out with the eyes all worn and bruised, now I don't feel good. from the day that we over-read, then everyone gets upset, and you shouldn't have brought him, you knew how I'd begin to talk about the ocean stirred inside my chest, while you weren't impressed with me at all, when I was growing tall. and I gave those records up, c'mon now, just shut up. I'm nothing but a talk, and I'll never learn to walk. I just now hung up the phone, I really don't have a hold on this garden anymore; it's overgrown and it's full of thorns. but I really don't think you know how often you made me calm, like the anxious circumstance, my blood goes pumping then I'd hold your hand. I'm always relying on luck that you're close enough to look up, but you rarely could do that, and you should kill me for getting mad. so you can punch me in the mouth, then I'll start bleeding out, with my eyes all worn and bruised, now I feel so good.

"Remorse Beats Inside Your Songs: A Practice Shots Retrospective"
ericolsenjr.com/practice-shots/

Over six years and 70 officially released songs after its initial release, Joshua Aubrey Jackson returns with a remaster and reissue of Practice Shots—his fourth full-length release under the Fiery Crash name. Now sounding better than ever, the album has cemented itself as the defining record of his early career.

Originally released exclusively on Bandcamp as Jackson finished his junior year of high school in 2013, this reissue grants Practice Shots its first appearance on major streaming services. Acting as an introduction for many to Jackson’s prolific output, the record earned the attention of numerous blogs and organizations that would shape his creative direction.

In recent years, Joshua Jackson has made more mature and higher-fidelity records—even in his home-recorded projects—but Practice Shots still stands as a testament to blossoming wisdom and craftsmanship. It’s more than just a turning point in his artistic career. Practice Shots strikes a delicate balance. It captures the melancholy of teenage years without the wallowing of similar projects, and it shamelessly memorializes a time that many would wish to forget.

The new remaster of Practice Shots will be available on all digital platforms on November 8. Joshua Jackson lives in Auburn, Alabama. His current musical outlets are Make Sure (his primary studio outlet) and Summerooms (his home-recorded side project).
