lyrics

Love is not made of gold
No matter what you’ve been told
It’s nothing but a lie
It’ll begin to rust
Tarnish and turn to dust
Where once it used to shine

Cause it’s only an illusion
A cruel trick of the light
Blinding your sight
And that warm sweet delusion
Will soon enough turn cold
Crumble and corrode
Love is not made of gold

Love is not built to last
It shatters just like glass
Time and time again
No more precious than jewels
Just a game that’s played by fools
That always ends in pain

Yes it’s only an illusion
A cruel trick of the light
Blinding your sight
And that warm sweet delusion
Will soon enough turn cold
Crumble and corrode
Love is not made of gold

It’ll turn a beggar into a believer
Build a shrine
And fall to his knees
Cause it all glitters until
It deceives you
Curse the day
That he finally sees

Well it’s only an illusion
A cruel trick of the light
Blinding your sight
And that warm sweet delusion
Will soon enough turn cold
Crumble and corrode
Love is not made of gold

This is my favorite guitar instrumental album of 2021. Tom Bukovac also put out a solo album that year titled Plexi Soul. Both of these albums have been on repeat for a while. I need more like this. It's not always about how fast you can play......the more melodic the better. Jason Landry

A fantastic album. I can see why they didn't continue under the name The Evens, as it's a different sound with the bass added. Coriky is the Evens + Joe Lally from Fugazi on bass. If you can imagine The Evens with a slightly more funky, aggressive sound like Fugazi... that's what you get! And there's no way that can ever go wrong. What a great debut album!! smiledozer
