Comes and it Goes Sometimes pain is evident, never is it permanent The fear is there it makes us human Underlies our every movement It comes and it goes Everyone knows It comes and it goes That’s just the way Nothing’s worth the hell you make Everything is give and take Accept the fact it makes you stronger The time you waste is longer It comes and it goes Everyone knows It comes and it goes That’s just the way Comes and it goes Oh everyone knows Comes and it goes Away, away…

Give It Away 02:58
Give It Away Give it away to all the drag queens Give it away to all the homosexuals Give it away to all the lesbians Give it away to all the heterosexuals I don’t know why it’s such a big deal When I was a child I rode a big wheel I don’t know why there’s even discussion When I was a kid we carried no weapons Give it away to all the drag queens Give it away to all the homosexuals Give it away to all the lesbians Give it away to all the heterosexuals I don’t know why there are so many talk shows When I was a kid we had 13 channels I don’t know why we’re making a big fuss When I was a kid I had more than enough Give it away to all the drag queens Give it away to all the homosexuals Give it away to all the lesbians Give it away to all the heterosexuals Give it away

Woke Up 04:05
Woke Up Heard it from a distance Saw it in the sky I thought it was salvation Until it kicked me in the eye And I can’t remember now why I didn’t write it down Woke up to the end of the world Woke up to the end of the world Just in time to see my baby crying Just in time to hear my lover’s voice I had no choice It’s the end of the world It’s the end of the world It’s the end of the world It came to me in silence And it never said a word But I understood the message Though it never had occurred Why I didn’t take the time to read between the… Woke up to the end of the world Woke up to the end of the world Just in time to see my baby crying Just in time to hear my lover’s voice I had no choice It’s the end of the world It’s the end of the world It’s the end of the world

Setting Like the Sun Expi-aladocious, ollie-oxen-free What the hell does that mean? Not a thing to me Can you feel my sorrow? Can you feel my grief? You still have tomorrow, I live for relief And I won’t be the only one Your time is gonna come It’s setting like the sun I can still remember the day that I was born I remember thinking I’ve been here before But, I won’t be the only one Your time is gonna come Setting like the sun Expi-aladocious, ollie-oxen-free What the hell does that mean? Not a thing to me And I won’t be the only one Your time is gonna come It’s setting like the sun No, I won’t be the only one Your time is gonna come Setting like the sun

On and On Phenomenon Does a child wonder: what’s the point of living? Does he see it coming from the other side? Why is he breathing? Why is he growing? Where is he going? Do we fear the light when we come to life? When we come to life do we fear the light? Do we fear the light when we come to life with our eyes on fire? On and on phenomenon On and on phenomenon There’s a baby crying. Does he hear a voice? There’s a mother dying. Does she have a choice? Why a beginning? Is there an ending? Is there an answer? Do we fear the light when we come to life? When we come to life do we fear the light? Do we fear the light when we come to life with our eyes on fire? On and on phenomenon On and on phenomenon Why a beginning? Is there an ending? Is there an answer? Do we fear the light when we come to life? When we come to life do we fear the light?

My Whole Life Has Been a Nightmare My whole life has been a nightmare Ever since you had the sense to leave And I’ve never been so frightened Every night I wake up with your blood all over me Should have stood in front of your moving car Should have believed in all you are What should have been so clear now keeps me in the dark My whole life has been a nightmare Even god has lost his faith in me Still I beg for your forgiveness And I live on hope of what’s to be Should have stood in front of your moving car Should have believed in all you are What should have been so clear now keeps me in the dark

No Temptation My girl is beautiful and terrifying My girl beats me when she knows I’m lying My girl comes from far away Comforts me when I’m afraid Says she always wants to stay together My girl wears those 6-inch platform shoes My girl cuts me then she licks my wounds My girl comes from far away Comforts me when I’m afraid Says she always wants to stay together Only when I close my eyes She comes from somewhere in my mind And stays until my nightmares go away My girl always filled with deep surprises My girl waits for me in warm dark places My girl comes from far away Comforts me when I’m afraid Says she always wants to stay together

Desert World 03:21
Desert World The arid heat is all that I can feel The dusty plains have gotten into me The cactus tall and mighty like a god The world I’m in just seems to be unreal Only wish that I could live and die in a desert world I wish that I could be with you in a desert world And I wish that I could fly I wish that I could fly The tumble weeds roll by like they’re going somewhere The rattle snakes play along with the sounds in my head The Life out here is like the scene’s you see when you’re tripping The world outside just ceases to exist Only wish that I could live and die in a desert world I wish that I could be with you in a desert world And I wish that I could fly I wish that I could fly And I wish that I could fly I wish that I could fly

Trailer Park Life Pack your things and run with me Let’s begin a family This can be a brand new start We’ll find it in a trailer park Beneath the southern sky We can live until we die They can’t tear our world apart In our trailer park Silver bullet waits for us It used to be a Greyhound bus Sunshine will replace the dark Love is like a trailer park I’ll trade my vanity If you commit yourself to me We can share the same big heart In our trailer park Pack your things and run with me Let’s begin a family This can be a brand new start We’ll find it in a trailer park Beneath the southern sky We can live until we die They can’t tear our world apart In our trailer park.

1982 the first day of summer taking me back in time funny sometimes when I smell the air I can smell her hair We would go to the bridge on the lake The place where my good friend died That’s where we would explore all possibilities That crept up within our minds Been years since I even said hello to her Years and a day I can’t forget about that girl When summer comes along I can’t forget about those days The heat of the summer keeping me warm inside Like when we had no responsibilities All we had was time It’s been years since the first time that I touched her Years and a day I can’t forget about that girl When summer comes along I can’t forget about those days

Down Now Never believed the day was coming Never believed in what was to be Never believed my world was coming down Cried for the ones who were born without chances Lived everyday in a life without ending Never believed my world was coming down Tell everyone there’s no world without ending Tell everyone there’s no use in pretending Tell everyone the sky is falling down Never believed the day was coming Never believed in what was to be Never believed the sky is falling down NTWCH Night the witch came home I was there alone Crawling through the dark…only candle light Laid upon me and her breath was cold She converted all my beliefs Black became my temple, black became my eyes Black is taking over, black controls my life Black is on the windscreen, black is in my veins Black is in the weather, black is my remains Now I lie awake and I’m marked for life Never saw her face, never saw her eyes Laid upon me and her breath was cold She converted all my beliefs Black became my temple, black became my eyes Black is taking over, black controls my life Black is on the windscreen, black is in my veins Black is in the weather, black is my remains

about

Originally recorded in 1994, the first version of this largely acoustic based audio tome was completed the morning of Kurt Cobain's suicide and was promptly dedicated to the visionary artist. "The Wind Sweeps Over Everyone" is an ambitious collection of songs about life, death and soul-searching written and recorded in raw, 8-track analog form. The 3-disc collection has been updated twice since its inception and here it is presented with the original intention, albeit with a few additions and deletions. It was remixed and remastered for this Bandcamp official release. The title was derived from a line in a poem by Ted Rosenthal entitled "How Can I Not Be Among You?" written in the early 1970s.
