i'm watching the sky as it starts to go dark and i hear a hush falling over the park i don't know what changes a decade can bring but i know an eclipse can mean only one thing oooooooooh it's just a game and these are just sounds but it's hard when the umpires are staring us down every day is the same it just goes round and round but how can i think when the thoughts are so loud we are all love this game that we've found but how can we play when the sun has gone out oooooooooh we just keep on, keep on, keep on running we just keep on, keep on, keep on fighting we just keep on, keep on, keep on loving when the world is wrong you've still gotta keep on we just keep on, keep on, keep on winning we just keep on, keep on, keep on swinging we just keep on, keep on, keep on living i know it feels wrong but you've gotta keep on oooooooooh i know that the gods don't respond to petitions but we do our jobs in the worst of conditions the moon hides the sun and we all hold our breath and we pitch and we bat and we stare into death i'm tired of wondering how i can manage if my life's just acceptable collateral damage don't want to be forgotten, don't want to forgive is it so bad that i just want to live? we are all love this game that we've found but how can we play when the sun has gone out

about

all the music that jennifer cat and rolo brookwood have released with the garages so far, this is a real mixed bag of genres, styles, and themes. hoooo boy, if you like tonal whiplash with pretty much every track, this album is for you.

all the songs are (somewhere between firmly and loosely) based on happenings of the eldritch baseball simulator browser game, blaseball

the garages are an anarcho-syndicalist blaseball band from the fictional location of seattle. they make songs about being gay, the apocalypse, and fighting the gods. check them out at thegarages.bandcamp.com
