We Can’t Afford to Stoke Idle Hearts
From the beginning, Mother’s Mistakes sought urgently to exorcise demons–of whatever type–that chattered in the artists’ ears. “Elegy”, from the groups self-titled album, is a song about racing against time.
“You know that birds, they only fly away
It’s a matter of perspective indefinite
Time moves in a linear fashion
But the human condition moves infinite
You and I, we have but little time before it’s all over
And our stabilities are all abstract
We can’t afford to stoke idle hearts
And regret after the fact”

Plans for a Pro Music Video Foiled
Noah and the Chilly Boys managed to acquire enough aluminum foil and LEDs to realize their dream of creating a music video that perfectly fits the tone of their debut single. As a team of five “adults”, it can be difficult to manage the hurdles that come along with time management, teamwork, and creative collaboration. It’s nice to see that they’re not afraid to poke fun at themselves and have a good time along the way.
Watch and giggle: “Abduction”
Entombed by a Sweet Embrace
On this day in 1919, a 30-foot-high, 2.3 million gallon sugary tsunami of death unleashed its fury on the streets of Boston. 21 people died, and many more were injured.
This real-life molasses disaster is the subject of a song named after it, by metal band Outnumber the Living.

Outnumber the Living – The Molasses Massacre of 1919
Our greed had gone too far
So by some act of fate
With a banshee’s groan
The tower collapsed and sweet death spilled forth
The slow rush of inevitable disaster
A crawling mass
Consuming and suffocating
Trees uprooted
Our strongest towers toppled
Overwhelming in a tidal wave of childhood dreams
Everything I had to give is now
Lost in the flood
The enchantment of being entombed
By a sweet embrace
Is too hard to resist
Caught up in rapture
None can turn away
Then it’s upon you
Now a writhing mass of syrup and the dying
A piece of cake, you’d say
Such a thing could be outrun
It keeps holding on
It keeps holding on
It keeps ahold
It’s everything we are
It has my legs
But it will never have
The love I share with you
It’s otherworldly
Some alien presence
Has chosen its time
To feast
Everything I had to give is now
Lost in the flood
The enchantment of being entombed
By a sweet embrace
Is too hard to resist
It feeds on all our fears and passions
