![]() I’ve been smoking on the peace pipe I’ve been wondering, just what would peace be like? I’ve been staring into head lights Swallow and hold, finding my peace of mind I’m just trying to see the moment Trying to love the little things Even if they’re hard to love Monumental, unspoken Carved in stone, willing to come undone Watch & Listen: “High” – Sir SlyĬonsider our expectations met. Sir Sly have finally returned two years later, and it’s amazing to see how far they’ve pushed themselves. “I’d rather write about my insecurities about changing belief systems, or feeling isolated in a world that I’m struggling to understand,” mused Jacobs in mid-2015. ![]() ![]() “ Now I have nowhere to run and hide.” This intense reflection on self-imposed stress was a reminder of both the sonic and human qualities that allow Sir Sly to consistently stand out from their contemporaries. “ How did expectations get so high?” sang a vulnerable Landon Jacobs.
