    They say the third time is the charm, and that is certainly the case here on Tiny Blue Ghost’s junior LP, “Between the Botanicals”. With the addition of guitarist Kyle McDonough, bassist Andy Vlad, and keyboardist Kristoff Lalicki, the band has found themselves a tightknit unit. On the Count Your Lucky Stars debut LP, vocalist/guitarist Marissa Carroll trades in her college-rock background for more complicated arrangements as Joseph Wright remains the backbone on drums. Gone are the simple pop songs as Tiny Blue Ghost mix elements of pop, indie-rock, prog, and more. Lovingly self-produced by the bands Wright and Carroll to convey exactly what the band was going for.

lyrics

There’s a story I’ve been meaning to tell
I’ve been backtracking to see where I had fell
I’ve climbed the highest peaks to get a better view
But it doesn’t get easier the second time to tell the truth

Sometimes falling down is the best part
Losing your balance can bring you some better perspective
When you hit the ground you start to fend for yourself
I’m not giving up or looking back

Just don’t look back

Spent too much time trying to adjust how I’m perceived
I’ve built my foundation based on who I could appease
Now I’m shifting my focus to discover my true form,
By shedding the layers of expectations that I’ve worn

I reflect upon
The person I’ve become
I could only hope I’ve made
My younger self proud

I am an optimist
With an acquired bitter taste
Cuz I have grown so tired
Of holding everything in place

Sometimes falling down is the best part
Losing your balance can bring you some better perspective
When you hit the ground you start to fend for yourself
I’m not giving up or looking back
