What do you say
We run away (?)
holding our hands
in a suicide jump
holding our breath
under the fray
not caring too much
but caring enough
and you are a beautiful thing
bathed in white
and angel wings
before the fall
and you are a beautiful thing
bathed in white
and angel wings
before the fall

There's a shadow behind your eyes
make up and harlequin
hope the sun God is great
keeping those thoughts away
don't have to carry the weight
carry the weight
alone
angels in outer space
will help you along
of you I'm so fond
of you I'm so fond
chasing the car
throwing your pain away
spaced out junkies
won't help you find your way
Neil Young is singing Cinnamon Girl
angels in outer space
will help you along
of you I'm so fond
of you I'm so fond
I know the sun hurts your eyes
I know your mind is full of lies
come and we'll fade into another place
another place
of you I'm so fond
of you I'm so fond
don't have to carry the weight
carry the weight
alone
angels in outer space
will help you along
don't have to carry the weight
carry the weight
alone
angels in outer space
will help you along
don't have to carry the weight
carry the weight
alone
angels in outer space
will help you along
of you I'm so fond
of you I'm so fond

Plastic Fantastic

Walking through the fire on hot coals
mystifying, multiplying fools
Hiding Jules at Katy's house
for a slice of Heaven
Leaving crystal prisms on the couch
Surfing at Dog Beach, the fires out
Quantify the stars in the sky
falling in the cool grey water
Close your eyes and
We are only Stardust
Plastic Fantastic Stardust
Carving out a perfect line
Hydrogen and helium
creation of the alien
the sega and the salient
a nuclear reaction
Dancing on horizon's razor blade
off the lip around the satellite
collecting rocks and shells along the coast
chasing ghosts and skipping stones
Seven swells a mission from the past
Five O'clock the dolphins serene glass
drop in late and floating in the haze
chasing the thieves of summer
Close your eyes and
We are only Stardust
Plastic Fantastic Stardust
Carving out a perfect line
Hydrogen and helium
creation of the alien
the sega and the salient
humanity, the sanity
the cradle and the grave in space
flash of life, the baby's face
transmutation of the soul
a nuclear reaction
It's coming close
It's so hard to find
pushing against the edge
we had a beautiful time
Walking through the fire on hot coals
mystifying, multiplying fools
Hiding Jules at Katy's house
for a slice of Heaven
for a slice of Heaven
for a slice of Heaven
for a slice of Heaven
for a slice of Heaven

Always Is

She can't break the spell
carries it on her back
when her world collapsed
she holds it in her hands
and it was like it always is
like it always is
and it is like it always was
and it was like it always is
like it always is
She fights and fights
balls up her tiny hands
she cries at night
it keeps her sane
and it was like it always is
like it always is
and she was like she always is
like she always is
She can't break the spell
carries it on her back
when her world collapsed
she held it in her hands
and she was like she always is
like she always is
and she was like she always is
like she always is

Shadow Box Butterfly

razorblades and silver sine waves
painted nails and glitter shoe lace
straight jacket escape
walking on the wire
dancing on the marquee
just like Marilyn
She's a boy, a girl, a girl, a boy
seven years she knows just what she knows
and she just hates to stay at home
cuz her mama don't treat her right
and her daddy don't kiss her good night
she just wants to be a butterfly
and fly away
cellophane halo with Christmas lights
shadow box with pictures and some drugs
slicing through the night to find the people
who'll love her for who she is
and who she'll become
She's a boy, a girl, a girl, a boy
seven years she knows just what she knows
and she just hates to stay at home
cuz her mama don't treat her right
and her daddy don't kiss her good night
she just wants to be a butterfly
and fly away
razorblades and silver sine waves
painted nails and glitter shoe lace
straight jacket escape
walking on the wire
dancing on the marquee
just like Marilyn
She's a boy, a girl, a girl, a boy
seven years she knows just what she knows
and she just hates to stay at home
cuz her mama don't treat her right
and her daddy don't kiss her good night
she just wants to be a butterfly

Dying Star

You are
a dying star
and in your car
you lost it all
you are
a dying star
and your heart
is much too scarred
drowning in a wishing well
holding secrets you can't tell
you can't find it
if you lost yourself
you are
a dying star
moved too far
from the ones you love
you are
a dying star
you fell apart
at the seams
drowning in a wishing well
holding secrets you can't tell
how can you find it
when you've lost yourself
when you lost yourself
when you've lost yourself

No Matter What Planet

wish there was some way
some beautiful telepathic way
I could be in your gaze
in this moment
in this world of lying strange
in my eyes there is sunlight
in your smile there is moonlight
what I wouldn't do
across the neon blue
just to be with you
Fall into your arms
no matter what planet
Fall into your arms
on top of eclipsing rays
on top of eclipsing rays
We are somewhere
we are disgraced
take me to that place
to your beautiful world
the world I cannot take
I can swim in
in, in your moonlight
the splitting cell of truth
in this moment
inside your electric smile
there is nothing I wouldn't do
but
Fall into your arms
no matter what planet
Fall into your arms
on top of eclipsing rays
on top of eclipsing rays
and say "everything is alright"
and say "everything is alright"
Fall into your arms
no matter what planet
someway
No matter what planet
across the neon blue
No matter what planet
on top of eclipsing rays
on top of eclipsing rays
on top of eclipsing rays
No matter what planet

skin to skin
eyes open breath
dirty bare feet
hands against the wall
and I
I want to rain down on you
I want to rain down on you
I want to rain
down
skin to skin
breath to breath
now
behind
take it all inside
I want to rain down on you
I want to rain
I want to rain down
skin to skin
eyes to eyes
open breath
dirty bare feet
hands against the wall
and I
I want to rain
down on on you

Those bedroom eyes
watching the frames
in the sky again
ashes fall
from the cigarette
the cigarette
Lipstick smile
tiny hands hold back
the beast again
baby calls
the silence is all
the silence is all
you drift into the headlights
you shed your skin on the open road
secrets are burned and buried
it's all to close, it's all to close
that shiny car
hides a dirty mind
that spins again
music kills
on the radio
on the radio
you drift into the headlights
you shed your skin on the open road
secrets are burned and buried
it's all to close, it's all to close
I dream electric dreams
electric dreams I dream
of you
you drift into the headlights
you shed your skin on the open road
secrets are burned and buried
it's all to close, it's all to close

High

His sins fill an ocean
killer devotion
why do you stay here
when it feels so wrong?
you take the poison
swallowed with roses
picture perfect poses
and a funeral song
and what do you get
but a hit that keeps you high
and what do you get
all his shit that makes you cry
what do you get?
what do you get?
what do you get?
it's no illusion
bloody and bruising
a clouded confusion
a chaotic calm
it's in the bottle
the spoon or the needle
when suffering feels normal
this can't go on
and what do you get
but a hit that keeps you high
and what do you get
all his shit that makes you cry
what do you get?
what do you get?
what do you get?
gone oh oh
what do you get?
what do you get?
what do you get?
what do you get?
what do you get
but a hit that keeps you high
and what do you get
all his shit that makes you cry
what do you get?
what do you get?
what do you get?
what do you get?
what do you
get?

Donker Los Angeles, California
Donker is Robb Donker Curtius- a singer-songwriter from California. Some of the songs come from improv songwriting sessions that are frequently posted on Instagram. The once acoustic only songs expanded into full blown rock band tracks collabing with Chris Magallon (drums on "Dying Star" from The Pocket Rockets and former band mate Matt Donaldson (guitars) both in California. ... more
Donker recommends:
Stellar album that coalesces past and present sounds into a dreamy pop album
go to album
Hello Beautiful Nothing
by Wall of Ears
I love albums that transport me elsewhere and C.W. Lott is a space man when it comes to the psychedelic aesthetic. The album is trippy and vast. Feels like you are time traveling.
go to album
The Hollow Down by the Flare
by burnt pixels
Burnt Pixels take proggy rock / noise rock to dreamy places. I am inspired by the soundscape they produce and their tendency to take chances to push thing to the front that you normally would not.
go to albumIf you like Donker, you may also like:
Drifting dreampop and snarling grunge, with potent vocals wrapped in gauzy textures one minute, surrounded by jagged riffs the next.
go to album
The four songs on the new EP from Rylie DeGarmo give country melodies a mysterious glow, recalling the best of Cowboy Junkies.
go to album
A moody, enveloping record from Zane Coppard, where dense and intricately crafted atmospheres cradle yearning vocals.
