about

Marbury Park is pure dream pop, containing some of the more esoteric lyrics on the album. At the beginning, the vocalist advises the listener to “shed the mortal coil, embrace the daydream a while.” This cut exudes an earnest Cocteau Twins vibe, replete with opulent harmonic structure. “Marbury Park doesn’t exist as a real place,” McMurtry explains, “but it’s a place in your head where all your most creative thoughts escape, and anything is possible.”

lyrics

Shed the mortal coil,
Embrace your daydream a while,
Bide some idle time
Inside the slipstream away.

It keeps your hair on end,
where up is down, and not is in,
The deja blue begins
an endless, swirling wind

Keeping rhythm with the sacred dance
Chemically feeding the never-ending trance

Haunted by the ghosts I’d chased
Indelible years won’t erase
Another enchanted day with you in Marbury Park.

Faded pages of the mind
Sifting through the grit of time
Another enchanted day in Marbury Park.
