    Between the Outfield and Outer Space is an examination of the dark side of nostalgia, self-delusion and ignorance. It is an album about struggling to make sense of the incomprehensible during unprecedented times. It both celebrates and despairs over the individual's smallness against the great gears of society and the universe at large. We put our entire selves into it, and we hope you can take something worthwhile out of it. Limited count of 300 12" LP's on translucent green vinyl, release by Denver champion of independent rock & roll Snappy Little Numbers.

lyrics

I spent my day at the mall
Buying our way through our brand new nightmare dawn
I saw stranger’s faces, wondering what they thought
But I couldn’t erase the feeling I got that I’m to blame
For thinking everything would be okay
Yeah the universe wouldn’t let it end this way
Cause I just wanna watch the game

I’m wide awake and it’s morning, and I’m paralyzed
I had a moment of peace and then I opened my eyes
It wasn’t just a bad dream late last night, yeah that was real life

Aaron would you pick me up?
I got my jacket on, I’ll be waiting for you out front
I know it’s killing you, it’s killing all of us
We’ll go to Carmine Lonardo’s and chase it with a sub
Cause this is not the time to lose our minds
Yeah Arty says we’ll all be fine
But it really feels real this time

I wanna know what I’m made of
We made a mistake
Will I stand up and fight or just sit and wait?
I ended last night at 7-11, I swear I’ve woken up a different person

Is it too soon, for us to think about something nice?
Are we still going to that show tonight?
Are you worried about what’s gunna happen if we get high and overanalyze?
Oh man, it’s a valid question, cause I don’t wanna go there tonight

It’s all coming into focus
I’m gunna live a life of purpose
I can hear it all in stereo chorus
I’m done sitting waiting for it
I’m gunna live I’m gunna live a life of purpose
No more feeling weak and hopeless
I’m gunna live a life of purpose

Yeah, I’m gunna miss so bad
All the fun times that we could have had
I swear that version of me is dead
I’m a brand new man
