Elastic No-No Band

Elastic No-No Band was a musical group based in New York City's anti-folk scene. Started in the mid-2000s, the band's name was initially just a pseudonym for its leader and main songwriter, Justin Remer. After 2005, Elastic No-No Band's line-up also included pianist Herb Scher and multi-instrumentalist Preston Spurlock. In 2005 and 2006, the band would perform sporadically with Clint Scheibner, who would play a bass drum attached to his chest, as though he were in a marching band. In 2007, the band added drummer Doug Johnson (who plays a standard drum kit) as a regular member. During the recording sessions for the band's 2010 album, Fustercluck!!!, electric guitarist John Mulcahy was also added. more »

Is time grains of sand
That slip quickly, so fast?
Is it ticks of the clock
That just won't stretch or last?
If it's true time ain't nothing
But pieces of sand
How can so little time
Do so much to a man?
He's been traveling so long
He ain't sure quite since when
Some nights he stays up wondering
Just how long it has been
Staring up at the sky
Trading thoughts with the moon
He sings it a lullaby
When he remembers the tune
Lonesome stranger
Rides in the day and the night
Faces the greatest uncertainty
Hopes that he'll put the wrongs right
The sand shifts and swirls
As he sings a refrain
Like salt in a wound
It just adds to the pain
They say smoke in your eyes
Will bring you some tears
But the sand wears you down
And leaves the mark of the years
Lonesome stranger
Rides in the day and the night
Faces the greatest uncertainty
Hopes that he'll put the wrongs right
