Know Me More 02:40
Caveman painting on the wall Essays of young radicals Sage detective expected it all He was unaware of you Men in the balcony greet their lord A bit too impressed with power chords Their sport and snorts mean little to me I am their enemy, but I’m not your enemy Snuff the angels’ light right out You think too much about my love I really am just as I say Drunk in lust for you I can’t afford to fall on my sword Love is something more than I swore It’s a sentence I will serve So you better know you’ll know me more Send me off to so far bed Lie awake and wish me harm By morning all your venom’s gone But the poison’s still in me The clouds that gather round my head Take the form that sailors dread I swear to you I love you still I’m ill but I will live So bring me coffee and Advil I’ll wash the dishes and sing to you There’s little good that I can do But you seem to like me still

Black eyes bright in the years spent against Solemn and true Ecstasies you’ll taste when you’re dead A decadent dread Your heroes have only torn themselves down The powers that are are unafraid now Discipline won’t make your body your own She wants what you won’t So come in the violet hour and see me again Your thick skin is aflame in January wind I am nothing you want your true love to be But in the violet hours you’ll still run to me The old complaint painted over again But the wound still remains Your heroes have grown indifferent and wan The powers that are are more powerful now You’re chained to the mast as the waves rush round You’ll drown if you must So come in the violet hour and see me again Your thick skin is worn, your spirit unbent I am all that you want to leave in defeat In the violet hours you’ll still run to me In the violet hours, you’ll lie down with me

Home 03:49
I swam deep in the quarries, I still have the stones in my skin I stumbled through the wasteland, strawberry wine in my hand I saw my young life vanish, like lightening on the lake I knew I’d die forever, and I knew that you felt the same I’ve been down, down, down every road and all I want is to turn back home I’ve done wrong so many times old friends started turning away I know you come from plenty, and there’s plenty that I shouldn’t say I’m still sewn to the scent of your body, so long since you’ve been a girl Gilded and ill in the summers of hell, back then I could never be sure Now all I’ve got to tell you is written in lines on my skin And silently I’ll show you, I’d do it all over again

about

Kip Berman (former singer/songwriter of The Pains of Being Pure at Heart) has begun recording and performing as The Natvral. Drawing inspiration from the lyrical folk rock of icons like Richard and Linda Thompson, Leonard Cohen and Ted Leo, this EP finds Kip channeling his lyricism with newfound intimacy and emotional candor.

This project is a chance for Berman to create new music that connects in sound and substance to his present life. Since the recording of the last Pains record in 2016, Berman has traded his beloved Brooklyn for the collegiate charms of Princeton, NJ. As for the name, “I wanted to pick up my guitar and sing songs in a natural way, without all the things about music that aren’t music.”
