    Default heard on ktsb austin in '91... a real stumper

    Been looking for 17 years for this band/song! Always wanted to buy/explore this band but never found out who it was, even called the station at the time i but wasn’t able to pin it down. I’ll be pretty darn impressed if someone knows it.

    Recorded in the Fall of 1991 off of KTSB 91.7 cable fm UT Austin Texas. It is a female vocalist---college/alternative indy sound. Other stuff on the tape to give you a feel: Throwing Muses, Let’s Active, Pixies, Velvet Crush, Mekons, Joy Division, Kelly Willis, The Wannabes, Psychic TV, Lida Husik, The Golden Palominos, Heidi Barry, Barbara Manning… to name a few

    It is possible it was a local Austin band and may be lost to history, still, if it’s out there would love to support this band and put this mystery to rest once and for all. The lyrics are as follows:

    ==============
    Just today I looked away
    Afraid of what I learned
    You didn’t have a word to say
    Your expression gives you away
    I can tell you what you might find
    I can use some peace of mind
    You’re looking for someone to show you

    You’re alive
    You’re alive
    You’re alive

    I know that if you go now
    If you go
    You’ll not return
    You will not return

    Yesterday I took a train
    Back to my return
    If I could go back
    I would not go back
    Not to my return
    Yesterday I looked away
    Afraid of what I thought you’d say
    I’m looking for someone to tell you

    I’m alive
    I’m alive
    I’m alive

    And so it was (?) it’s only love
    And so it was (?) it’s only love
    That was not returned
    That was not returned

    When I looked into the sky
    Like a thousand past (?)
    Then I turned my sight inward
    The question’s unanswered
    Today I took from innocence
    Away from my return
    ‘cuase I’m looking for someone to show me

    I’m alive
    I’m alive
    I’m alive

    I know that if you go now
    If you go
    You’ll not return
    You will not return
