Liner Notes

This year's ambitious project: "Write and compose 12 songs in the style of 1980's R.E.M., and try to make them sound as finished as possible, although a touch of lo-fi is perfectly fine. Present them as an album."

We used the magic of A.I. to beef up the backing tracks and convert our own less-than-adequate vocals to something more pleasant to the ears, but all lyrics, melodies and riffs are our own. A.I. should be used as a tool, not a crutch. We have mixed the songs to the best of our ability, which is mediocre at best.

Lyrics

Adriana remembers Adriana watched everything burn She said it Not quite like that She watched everything burn

Adriana What did they tell her? She thinks she remembers But does she remember?

Just follow Teresa's lead The kettle pours out tea Tea, tea, Teresa Reading in the sunlight On the back porch Adriana She was only twelve Going on forty Adriana How can it be? Adriana Can't hold her breath forever Adriana Precious little pearl Purdy, purdy But she said never Too pure to be naked Too naked to be pure Adriana Adriana Adriana

Adriana forgets Adriana watched everything fall She said it Not quite like that She watched everything fall

Adriana How come they killed her? She feels she’s a savior But is she a savior?

Just follow Teresa's lead The kettle pours out tea

Tea, tea, Teresa Reading in the sunlight On the back porch Adriana She was only twelve Going on forty Adriana How can it be? Adriana Can't hold her breath forever Adriana Precious little pearl Purdy, purdy But she said never Too pure to be naked Too naked to be pure Adriana Adriana Adriana

She’s the Virgin The Virgin Saint Felicity Virgin fallen from grace Lost in her place How can she be alive? How is she still alive? How do we give life? She gives And gives And gives life

Adriana She was only twelve Going on forty Adriana How can it be?

Adriana Can't hold her breath forever Adriana Precious little pearl Purdy, purdy But she said never Too pure to be naked Too naked to be pure Adriana Adriana Adriana
