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

"Let Me Die In Southern California" Lyrics
Let Me Die in Southern California (B. Wurschum)
I’ve packed my bags, I’m gonna leave the city
The story leading up to this is long
But those big bright lights that sometimes seem so pretty
Lose every bit of allure when you,
You feel the weight of the world
Desert winds, please blow all that behind me
We know it in our hearts when we are home
Jasmine, take me to a place I’ll find me
Where the ocean catches the sun sinking
And taking all the undone
Ending where it begun
Let me die in Southern California
Big blue sky, you’re golden in the sun
As we fly through Southern California
Down the 101
A winding highway spilling through the canyon
A mission-style tavern packed with fools
Who laugh and raise their glasses up to heaven
As sunlight flickers off the tops of pools
It’s kind of like the sound of spirits thrashing
These waves that kiss this highway up and down
And calming is the calling of their crashing
And all you’ve loved, it just swirls in you
Yes, everything that you’ve loved
Yes, everyone that you’ve loved
Let me die in Southern California
Big blue sky, you’re golden in the sun
As we fly through Southern California
Down the 101
