watchhouse “0f which there is no like”
from:such jubilee, 2015
“Every nights just like the last
And those summer rains keep fallin
I’ll know I’m home at last
When these thoughts no longer call me
Away from the arms of my darlin’
And into the dark dark night
Out to sea, such jubilee
Of which there is no like
All the faces and the names
Pass me by in colors
We dance among the blameless
Our only friends and lovers
Away from the arms of my darlin’
Out in the dark dark night
Out to sea, such jubliee
Of which there is no like
Every night comes to an end
A fading heart for every star
One by one is overcome
By the pale blue light of the dawn
Hold me tight tonight my darlin’
Out of the dark dark night
On the sea, such jubilee
Of which there is no like”
Emily Frantz and Andrew Marlin are a married couple from Asheville, N.C. whose vocal acumen creeps up on you. Originally known as Mandolin Orange they have subsequently decided to call themselves Watchhouse. Whatever their band nomenclature ,you’ll find wall to wall musical aptitude in their outpourings. You can usually expect a quality song when it has a title of such specific dignify. How bout the record cover?
Such jubilee.
