    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 tell it all to you because I know you’ll listen
And just nod your head and agree
Tell me I’m right and it all makes sense
Right now affirmation’s all that I need
Cause for all my triumphant verbiage about living a life of purpose, all I’m really doing is learning how hard it is to become a different person

And I can cling to my vengefulness and my self-indulgent self-righteousness only if I’m willing to admit it’s all completely worthless in the end
And I can keep rooting for my side, hanging onto my hometown pride
only if I realize reality will never be so black and white

Still I just wanna watch the game
Gary, Keith and Ron take me away
I’ll take it any way I can these days, I just want an escape

And when all the party bands stop singing songs about beers in hands, arms around friends and upbeat jams about how the good times will never end
I wanna believe this too shall pass
But there’s a voice in my head saying “b-b-baby, you ain’t seen nothing yet”

Cause some crazy things happen man, yeah some things that are bigger than us
Yeah they’re bigger than us
And we can turn the amps up to 11 but it probably won’t accomplish much except pissing the neighbors off

Welcome to the block!

When you’re alone in a crowded bar surrounded by friends and you can’t find a reason
To fake it and raise your fist and sing along once more to Don’t Stop Believing, well that song sucks anyway
We got a million more to sing

I don’t know if they’re still making them
But I wanna watch the movie where the good guys win in the end
