My Current Favorite Voyces Song: "It Never Just Goes"





"It Never Just Goes" is one of the incredible new songs on the incredible new CD from The Voyces, "Let Me Die In Southern California."

Majestic. The tune distracted my brain for many listens and it was not for a long time that I paid much attention to the lyrics, which I think are the album's most poetic and gripping.

On a CD awash with alliteration, far more than any previous Voyces effort, "It Never Just Goes" melts the ears like a resplendent aural painting.

The only thing prettier than its melody are its words used, and the only thing prettier than the words used is its actual underlying message.

LISTEN: The Voyces - "It Never Just Goes"



IT NEVER JUST GOES                             (B. Wurschum)

I know that you’ve been good to me
Let’s get back to where we want to be
The unknown can shine enchantingly
A lover can be a mystery

Hold on, all I am trying to say
Is I know what spun us out that day
It’s alright, oh God, I hope you’ll stay
It’s alright, oh please, oh please, don’t slip away

Love, it never just goes
Like leaves that land and get blown
Down streets
And never are shown
And wash away all alone
No, love, it never just goes
Love, it never just goes
Can’t hide or fight it, it flows
Real love, it never just goes
No, love, it never just goes

Distance – the kind of distance that stings
Missing – the kind of missing kissing brings
Madness – the kind that clips beautiful wings
Madness – the kind that breaks the prettiest things

But love, it never just goes
Like leaves that land and get blown
Down streets
And never are shown
And wash away all alone
No, love, it never just goes
Love, it never just goes
Can’t hide or fight it, it flows
Real love, it never just goes
No, love, it never just goes
