I had no choice but to hear you You stated your case time and again I thought about it

You treat me like I'm a princess I'm not used to liking that You ask how my day was

Your love is thick and it swallowed me whole You're so much braver than I gave you credit for That's not lip service

You are the bearer of unconditional things You held your breath and the door for me Thanks for your patience

You're the best listener that I've ever met You're my best friend Best friend with benefits What took me so long?

I've never felt this healthy before I've never wanted something rational I am aware now I am aware now

You've already won me over in spite of me Don't be alarmed if I fall head over feet Don't be surprised if I love you for all that you are I couldn't help it It's all your fault

And THEN FECKING 'Sometimes when we touch' by Dan Hill plays on the radio and I know I haven't made a gifset since the finale but that chorus almost makes me wanna create on their trifecta hug scenes.

You ask me if I love you And I choke on my reply I'd rather hurt you honestly Than mislead you with a lie And who am I to judge you On what you say or do? I'm only just beginning to see the real you

Song Review: The Steel Wheels - “Yes I Know”

Dan Hill may have met his match with the Steel Wheels’ “Yes I Know.”

The ostensibly bluegrass-Americana Wheels roll backward toward 1970s soft rock on this fourth single - read Sound Bites’ previous coverage here - from the band’s forthcoming (Feb. 9, 2024) Sideways.

Built around Trent Wagler’s acoustic guitar and double-tracked vocals, the song carries hints of mandolin, violin and electric guitar, and even more dread and regret.

I can say your name/I can see your name frozen in a perfect block of ice/it keeps me paralyzed/it will leave a mark/mark on me I know everybody says so/so young and foolish, Wagler sings.

“Yes I Know” is pretty. But it’s also pretty morose.

Grade card: The Steel Wheels - “Yes I Know” - C
