Too scared to love me, trees, or anyone.

Emphasizing mood and expression, Arto combines deeply personal narrative, and passionate performance, concerned with the lives of every day people, personal integrity, and after a recent move to Milwaukee, the stagnant drear of city life, isolation, poverty, and the seeming inviability of love in the modern-industrialized world. The band digresses from their eponymous 2008 release, continuing to play around the state, with an expected sophomore effort release in mid-2010.

is this my PROMISED LAND(!)? or will this be THE KNIFE in my side?

I'm going away,

but only for a little while.

question:

why?

expansion on question:

is it the spark of the fire to move, to go away?

or do I really want this, even?

will I be better or worse for this?

will it matter?

later the song will follow this. it's funny how things come at you in pairs, first something that strikes us as minutia, and then something that reminds us how little in life is really little. or maybe how little in life isn't little.

"shit matters. even if we can't figure it out. even if our days are ruled by devils."
