“Speake’s beautifully haunting voice and her equally absorbing lyrics, which combine to create a melancholic, sentimental, and sober tone.”
— Cowboys & Indians Magazine
lyrics
I was drivin’ back to Georgia in this car without a heater
On the coldest day of the year, New Year’s Day
I was thinkin’ about my choices, the loves I’ve lost, how dark my soul is
How I gave it my all, just to give it away
And may old acquaintances be forgotten
That line’ll break my heart every time, and
I wanted to love you, but you wouldn’t let me
I wanted to leave, but I was too afraid to try
And we may grow old, but it won’t be together, no
I gave it a go, but I was too worn out to try
On the shoulder stands an old ghost
A rattlin’ chains from the hopes lost of a weary tired motherless child
And, well, all’s done gone bitter
Colder than it was in December
Here we go again, another New Year’s Day
And may old acquaintances be forgotten
That line’ll break my heart every time, and
I wanted to love you, but you wouldn’t let me
I wanted to leave, but I was too afraid to try
And we may grow old, but it won’t be together, no
We gave it a go, but I was too worn out to try
Roll down the window, feel the frosty air
Find a stranger, take ‘em anywhere
‘Cause old acquaintances be forgotten
That line’ll break my heart every time, and
I wanted to love you, but you wouldn’t let me
I wanted to leave, but I was too afraid to try
And we may grow old, but it won’t be together, no
I gave it a go, but I was too worn out to try
I wanted to love you, but you wouldn’t let me
I wanted to leave, but I was too afraid to try
And we may grow old, but it won’t be together, well
We gave it a go, but I was too worn out to try

Nikki & the Phantom Callers’ debut LP, Everybody’s Going To Hell (But You and Me). The 11 track collection of boot-stomping
alt-country & jangly indie-rock weaves a series of stories exploring a beautiful darkness in stark contrast to their predominantly sunny tonality; a Southern Gothic study of grief soundtracked by country-tinged ‘60s pop....more
Shantih Shantih is a four-piece band founded in Atlanta, GA. Combining rock ‘n roll with dreamy harmonies over twanging guitars. Nikki & the Phantom Callers
Each year the same story: My wife (handmade pop music) and I (black metal maniac) go on holiday. We need some "soft" but honest music for long car drives. It is a tough week in advance to dive deeply into musical scrap to find some pearls like MARGO PRICE! She presents easy going country pop, smooth and with pleasant vocals, reminding me sometimes even at Stevie Nicks. The title track is one of my favourites, but also the other songs are catchy and performed with smooth energy, H.L.
Hearing this was like discovering Desire, or London Calling for the first time. Derivative yet original, the songs are immediate and the melodies will get stuck in your ear for days. tideracer
Irresistible classic country music abounds on “Listening To The Music,” full of lap steel, walking bass, and heartwarming melodies. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 5, 2020
