about

Almshouse's "October Song" is “cleverly composed” and “keeps the listener in a trance-like feeling.” The band is “[c]learly an intelligent group of musicians,” the vocals are “top notch" and the players "show off their instrumental prowess with effectively arranged and played parts. The song features quality production work that enhances the song’s character and vibe… October Song is a well written and well performed song [that] exhibits a level of musical sophistication that is rarely heard in most of the market’s current pop/rock selections, but still remains accessible to everyday music enthusiasts. The members of Almshouse are masters of their craft, and are building momentum and interest for their unique sound.” - indie-spoonful.com

Time is running out.

If he could love her like she always dreamed
There would be love without the mystery

Love is liquid, love pours over
Love is running out.
Time is liquid, time pours over
Time is running out.
