Buck Meek

The Mirror

Ashburn

A gleaner of the forgotten, Buck Meek tips over the familiar and turns the unknown into a companion. On The Mirror, the artist’s fourth solo record and second album released by 4AD, there’s a tender power, countered by immutable vulnerability. With an uncanny curiosity, Meek conjures twin worlds to reveal the uniqueness in the mundane. Inviting in reflection as collaborator and demon as friend, The Mirror doesn’t seek to know but to ask, looking to the shape of a question rather than the illusion of its answer.

The partnership of Meek and producer, <a href="spotify:artist:4eEDUmQbFKt7p4UNEwuUUi" data-name="James Krivchenia">James Krivchenia</a>, emerged from a decade of work together in <a href="spotify:artist:5QdyldG4Fl4TPiOIeMNpBZ" data-name="Big Thief">Big Thief</a>. Conceptually, The Mirror emerged from the idea to combine Meek’s band’s live, kinetic energy with an oblique electronic world. The pair invited a collective atmosphere in which simultaneous experiment could occur–the musicians responded to each other in real time, while their instruments triggered modular synthesizers and electronic magic boxes. The Mirror welcomed in friends, family, longtime collaborators from ranging musical eras of life as vital co-creators.

Lexical mirrors are handheld, tactile, and kept close throughout the record––each one holding up a new truth. The Mirror aptly embraces the unknown with an abiding curiosity and Meek continues to reveal his skill as translator of human feeling and its endless portals. The Mirror looks for duality, finding it in the weeds and overgrowth.

Buck’s continues to make songs that always feels fresh listen after listen. He takes the old country rock formula and injects energy and grace; he’s got a gift no doubt.

I&#39;m going to give the swimsuit, cap, and boots wardrobe a try for my next meeting with clients

Caro Buck, hai fatto un album immenso! Ti dico grazie!❤

Oh man, this RIPS! Fuzzed out guitar with that classic country groove, this is heaven. Really great stuff, whole band should be proud of this one.

From the catchy melody to the heartwarming lyrics, it’s impossible not to feel like tapping your feet, singing along, and ultimately falling in love with it. I’m sure seeing this performed live would be an unforgettable experience!

Can’t express how much I love Buck! Wonderful

he plays the guitar so effortlessly like it is an extension of himself it is so magical to see

They played this on the radio in Milwaukee, Wisconsin this morning--it was so refreshing. I love this song.

This is honestly the best song he&#39;s ever written. Unbelievably beautiful lyrics.

This is honestly the best song he's ever written. Unbelievably beautiful lyrics.

This has the feeling of an epiphany after a come down.

Thank god this came out in the middle of winter or else I would re-download Hinge

I flushed a toilet right at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jlX-R9F6aH8&amp;t=20">00:20</a> and thought it was part of the mix. I was like what an interesting choice

I flushed a toilet right at 00:20 and thought it was part of the mix. I was like what an interesting choice

In one million years, maybe I’ll be a light beam A lonely laser in the vacuum And maybe she’s a photon too and we’ll pass through each other, tied in quantum &lt;3

In one million years, maybe I’ll be a light beam
A lonely laser in the vacuum
And maybe she’s a photon too
and we’ll pass through each other, tied in quantum <3

This song gives me chills! I just played it ten times on repeat. Now eleven...

My favorite song rn, i really hope the whole album is gonna have the same feeling

LYRICS:

innocence is a light beam 
you’re doing your thing 
with your arm out the window 
up highway nine

when it’s too much to handle, burn me a candle 
when you don’t have a candle 
let me burn on your mind 

the song of the sirens 
caught up with me down wind
my nose started bleeding by the second note 

heaven is a motel 
with a telephone seashell 
check out’s at eleven 
and don’t ask for more time
 
did your eyes change? 
i remember them blue 
or were they always hazel?
still the same face, with a line or two
the same love i always knew 

i try not to call, but i think i'm being followed
it's been about an hour or so

i hate for you to hear me scared
otherwise i'm well
i guess you're still the first place i go

did your eyes change? 
i remember them blue 
or were they always hazel?
still the same face, with a line or two
the same love i always knew

Lyrics:
before I lived here on this haunted mountain
I was walking through the valley on my own
darkness all around me, I looked to the sky and saw you
wreathed all around in a golden cloud

all of my life I’ve been a rounder
traveling across this green land
but now that I live here on this haunted mountain
I know I’m never coming down
no I’m never coming down
I’m never coming down again

every dewdrop on this haunted mountain
is like a tiny crystal ball
early in the morning, I peer into the living leaves
and prophesy with the light of dawn

all of my life I’ve been a rounder
traveling across this green land
but now that I live here on this haunted mountain
I know I’m never coming down
no I’m never coming down
I’m never coming down again

I drank the water of this haunted mountain, saw a younger reflection in the falls
the river rose around me
I was swept up in an eddy
drifted a mile and nearly drowned

all of my life I’ve been a rounder
traveling across this green land
but now that I live here on this haunted mountain
I know I’m never coming down
no I’m never coming down
I’m never coming down again

Lyrics:
Making words up while we made love
one month and she’s in my blood
Ooheeah lalo, faroosee mneykro
Will it be me or it will it be her
to say I love you first?

Built a fire with oak and juniper and cypress
gasoline, I knew she’d like it
She drew Orion on my belly with her finger
Then I asked if I could kiss her

Making words up while we made love
one month and she’s in my blood
Ooheeah lalo, faroosee mneykro
Will it be me or it will it be her
to say I love you first?

We lay in silence through the morning
Until language slowly started forming
She hummed a lullaby
I recognized from when I was a newborn

Making words up while we made love
one month and she’s in my blood
Ooheeah lalo, faroosee mneykro
Will it be me or it will it be her
to say I love you first?

In one million years, maybe I’ll be a light beam
A lonely laser in the vacuum
And maybe she’s a photon too
and we’ll pass through each other, tied in quantum

Making words up while we made love
one month and she’s in my blood
Ooheeah lalo, faroosee mneykro
Will it be me or it will it be her
to say I love you first?

LYRICS:

the halo light was humble
our heather died
but tomorrow i’ll buy roses
nine hands high, little forest
o jenny, why did you tell the horses?
willow walls entwine you
your mother called
we spoke for seven hours
i found the hole you climbed through
but it’s too small to follow with the flowers
though all our love remains
so why do we feel sorrow?
pain came in seasons departed
our bodies left alone
all our love will stay
to live again tomorrow
woke at dawn, reminded of secret songs
by the warbler and the robin
i swear i heard you humming
in broken tongues through the curtain
faces form on our ceiling
a summer storm’s little arrows cross my chest
the sparrows mourn your leaving
with silent rises in their breasts
though all our love remains
so why do we feel sorrow?
pain came in seasons departed
our bodies left alone
all our love will stay
to live again tomorrow

LYRICS:

pareidolia, with your head upon my lap on the buffalo grass 
the clouds are moving fast 
sippy, tell me what you see

“maybe it’s a baby
maybe it’s a cottonmouth swallowing its tail
that one looks like lady guadalupe with an airplane in her hair

it’s paradise 
the sun is just a glow, though shade your eyes 
there goes a phoenix with the last light”

baby, it’s an omen
let’s fly to puertecitos, where the five turns to sand
i’ve seen them burning statues of the virgin by the roadside

remember the time 
you snuck in through the bathroom window 
and waited for me there? 
hidden in the shower for an hour

when i went to fill the tub
i found you wrapped in linens like a ghost  
my heart froze, i fainted 

fold me a rose 
with that holiday napkin on the floor 
as payment for your fortunes i predicted 
you said “bite me, hell no 
you’re lucky i don’t fold you boy!”  

pareidolia  
with your head upon my lap on the buffalo grass 
the clouds are moving fast 
sippy, tell me what you see

LYRICS

go down to logan town, look up ruby bates
don't call the police, they won't help none
two tons of turtle doves, from out of state 
just tell her i sent you, for the discount rate

my man with the moving van's looking for a job to do
he'll work for cheap, but he'll change you 
blue eye on the left hand side, hazel on the right 
he'll cut right through with the second sight

but i work for free
and love is all i need
yes i work for free
because love is all i need

oh no, my swimming hole is full of turpentine
it's raining mud from a bad sky
i can help to clean this up, but i don't think i'm qualified
we've got to find someone who can purify

but if you have a need of which you can't describe
a feeling of the third kind
that's my specialty, that's easy 
we can draw up the plans of a new design 

and i work for free
because love is all i need
yes i work for free
and love is all i need

Lyrics:
tell me baby, what was that you said?
what was that you said? 
you said something about paradise 
and it shot straight through me

sweet baby, lightning struck me twice 
lightning struck me twice 
you stopped my heart
when you said something about paradise 

you can talk about it 
I see it in your eyes
tell me about living in the afterlife
a home in roses made of light 
I see it in your eyes

tell me how you got heaven in your eyes 
heaven in your eyes 
“I fell into a black hole with the hot flux of hazel”

tell me how you got heaven in your eyes 
heaven in your eyes 
“I nearly died when I fell into the halo”

you can talk about it 
I see it in your eyes
tell me about living in the afterlife
a home in roses made of light 
I see it in your eyes

you can talk about it 
I see it in your eyes
tell me about living in the afterlife
a home in roses made of light 
I see it in your eyes
I see it in your eyes

Lyrics:
my dad rode a 750 when he lived alone in Siskiyou County
he’d memorized the curves of the forest route up Shasta to his home
once he flew around a bend, and elk were scattered across the road
no time to brake, so he closed his eyes and prayed

there’s too many stories to remember
too many stories to tell
too many stories

years later in Greece with my momma shining blue and gold
playing honey take the wheel on a windy Cycladean road
with a heavy rain falling, their car lost all control
and slid over the line towards a trailer truck head on

there’s too many stories to remember
too many stories to tell
too many stories

the way I remember them telling me, they slid right through the truck
not around or under, but in one side and out the other
it broke the laws of physics in my childhood memory
but they said “you made that all up”
when I retold their story recently

there’s too many stories to remember
too many stories to tell
too many stories

there’s too many stories to remember
too many stories to tell
too many stories

pinwheel, it's a bad deal
falling upside down 
man, may came soon 
i hardly got to see you 
sue, how are you? 

slow dance, romance 
come on joe, it's your last chance
and she won't catch you, man i’d bet you 
she won't catch you when you fall

two saviors fighting over a soul 
a black eye leaves a black hole 
it seems the glass has cracked it's getting cold 
"hold me, hold me joe"

new light, we had true sight
falling inward out
won't you recall, bonsai's on the dashboard?
a warm refuge from a cold storm 

five eyes, those were bright nights
even orion's got a soft side
but he won't catch you, suzy i'd bet you 
he won't catch you when you fall 

two saviors fighting over a soul 
a black eye leaves a black hole 
it seems the glass has cracked, it's getting cold 
hold me, hold me
"no, i need to be alone
to know my home
i know no home
but hold me, hold me joe"

LYRICS:

fireflies to show me around
every hole in new york town 
my eyes are getting old 
but i don’t mind the blue and gold
the blue and gold 

up at hadley’s five and dime
ten years of killing time with sam and outside joe
black jack and egyptian rat
kick-the-can and the biscuit dance 
our eyes are getting old
but we don’t mind the blue and gold
the blue and gold

“race you down to the well” said sue
“last one surrenders their family jewels,
you’re quick, but hunter i am too”

all the ways that she laughed
made me want to make her laugh 
knock knock, no one’s home
i saw the dog of a drifter, out on the sidewalk yesterday
she said “hey sure i’m grateful, but how long do you think this walk will go?” 
i don’t know
oh my jokes are getting old

“race you down to the well” said sue
“last one surrenders their family jewels,
you’re quick, but hunter i am too”

Lyrics:
blue moon, blue mood ring
the perfect pair of jeans, no tattoos
but she drew a face on everything
sometimes she’d draw wings on you

naked at the center of a pond
at midnight in The Bronx
screaming “Hunter boy come on
the water’s warm, be cool”

she pierced my ears in green light
with ladybugs in flight
silence spoke in white lies
broken by our rite of truth

I dreamt we woke in flames
that night she dreamt the same
the fire burned our bed
our bodies left woven and unscathed

waking slowly with the bells
our secrets told themselves
making echoes in the well
we nearly fell into

kissing only with our eyelids
butterflies entwining
laid down in a field of dead lilies
felt our lives begin again

LYRICS:

our dream daughter 
candle on the altar
blue eye on the left
your mother’s brown on the right

you grew taller, taller than i am
in white light from her breast
i touched your hand 

who are you? 
who would you have been? 
blue jay stuck in my kitchen 

just cold water 
the shadows getting longer 
though bright nights hold my breath 
for silver on the rise

i took all the blankets 
and slept out in the yard
moon fall, i swear i saw gold behind the stars  

who are you? 
who would you have been? 
blue jay stuck in my kitchen 
fly away

'Ring Of Fire' taken from 'The Mirror' out 27th February, via 4AD.

https://buckmeek.ffm.to/themirror

Lyrics:
Be my bride, my lover
Would you be the mother of my child?
All my life I’ll sing and buy you things

like this diamond ring of fire, ring of gold
Ring of fire, ring of highway road

I swear I’ve never seen a girl so pretty and wild
A thousand hearts you took
with that look in your eyes

Ring of fire, ring of gold
Ring of fire, ring of highway road

I’ve seen angels fly every night above our bed
But all I see is white fluorescent light in this hotel
Ring of fire, ring of gold
Ring of fire, ring of highway road

Music is in my soul
Rock and roll is in my blood
So many years I’ve bled in the red for the love

But all that love I’ve found in the sound and the songs
I’m saving for my girl back home

Ring of fire, ring of gold
Ring of fire, ring of highway
Ring of fire, ring of gold
Ring of fire, ring of highway road

'Worms' taken from 'The Mirror' out now, via 4AD.
https://buckmeek.ffm.to/themirror

Lyrics:
Worms fighting over graves
Two gods fighting over souls to save
Sucker punch to the face
They’re knocking planets out of place

The sun pushed around the moon
and now she’s hiding in her room
Crows fighting with a hawk
A young bride’s having second thoughts

But my baby don’t fight fight with me, my baby don’t fight with me no
My baby don’t fight fight with me, my baby don’t fight with me no

After the flood
all the kids were playing in the mud
Blood’s thicker than water
We see it our in son and daughter

We’re all looking for love
I’m praying that the angels come
The angel of fear
I’ve been fighting with him in the mirror

But my baby don’t fight fight with me, my baby don’t fight with me no
My baby don’t fight fight with me, my baby don’t fight with me no
My baby don’t fight fight with me, and I don’t fight with her either
My baby don’t fight fight with me, my baby don’t fight with me no

My baby don’t fight fight with me, my baby don’t fight with me no
My baby don’t fight fight with me, my baby don’t fight with me no
My baby don’t fight fight with me, my baby don’t fight with me no
My baby don’t fight fight with me, my baby don’t fight with me no

'Heart In The Mirror' taken from 'The Mirror' out now, via 4AD.
https://buckmeek.ffm.to/themirror

Lyrics:
Lost my voice singing about evil and the people that I’ve lost
Backwards love is easier to read

When it’s tattooed on my heart in the mirror
My heart in the mirror, my heart in the mirror

Tried to choke the lump in my throat, but it only got bigger
Backwards life is easier to write

With a finger on my heart in the mirror
My heart in the mirror, my heart in the mirror

Many years I’ve lived in fear of bullies and critics
But now I know the thing they loathe
is seeing their own fear in the mirror
Their fear in the mirror, fear in the mirror

So I’ll try to dive and breathe underwater
And I’ll try to write a song that is not for others
That is not for others, that is not for others

Kissing apples, kissing bread at the grocery market
Not for practice, I just love kissing the carpet
Kissing the carpet, kissing the carpet

Kissing the carpet, kissing the carpet
Kissing the carpet, kissing the carpet
Kissing the carpet, kissing the carpet
Kissing the carpet, kissing the carpet

Lost my voice singing about evil and the people that I’ve lost
Backwards love is easier to read

When it’s tattooed on my heart in the mirror
My heart in the mirror, my heart in the mirror

Lyrics:
Memories are disappearing
But he’s still got his soul feeling
Hands and knees are starting to freeze
But Charlie’s heart is still beating

Soul feeling
Soul feeling

New born baby staring at me
Made him laugh with funny faces
rock-a -bye, he starting to cry
“You are my sunshine”

Soul feeling
Soul feeling

La la la la Mississippi
Swimming in his blue jeans
Skin tight, friday night
When they’re dried in sunlight

Soul feeling
Soul feeling
Soul feeling
Soul feeling

Still remembers every word
of dirty songs on Bourbon
Every line of Auld Lang Syne
Though acquaintance be forgotten

Soul feeling
Soul feeling
Soul feeling
Soul feeling
Soul feeling
Soul feeling
Soul feeling
Soul feeling

Lyrics:
Another day wasted on feeling bad
The green gates closed with a bang bang bang

Let myself feel it, I’ll try to keep it
for the times when I’m happy, for the times when I’m sad
It’s kind of outta body, I’ll keep it for that

I saw Elysee die in a waking a dream
I held her, and brought her to life again
Blood orange growing on a branch with limes
we grafted when I was only five

Let myself feel it, I’ll try to keep it
for the times when I’m happy, for the times when I’m sad
It’s kind of outta body, I’ll keep it for that

I still hear her every now and then
Though maybe I’m just hearing things
Ingrid Bergman kissing on the silver screen
Am I crazy or did she just wink at me?

Let myself feel it, I’ll try to keep it
for the times when I’m happy, for the times when I’m sad
It’s kind of outta body, I’ll keep it for that

Lyrics:
The more I get to know you, the less I know of love
Is it science? Is it art?
Can I learn to give away my heart?

Held a newborn baby
Crying in my arms
Jesus save me, Jesus save me
Jesus save me and carry him from harm

The trees are changing color
Changing by the hour
Pretty flowers, pretty flowers
Show me how to come into my power

Come into my power
Without being mean
Mean and greedy, mean and greedy
The garden weeds are making it look easy

Little wild roses
Meadow Death and clover
They’re taking over, taking over
To pull them out you would need a bulldozer

Ringo ate the jimson
And nearly lost her mind
Up all night crying, all night crying
Why O why O did the poison flower O?

The more I get to know you, the less I know of love
Is it science? Is it art?
Can I learn to give away my heart?

Lyrics:
Eat your heart out rock n’ roller
you can sing for god, you can sing for glory
but that don’t make you a holy man

When I get drunk I’m nice to people
I’m not asking much
Just don’t be cruel, holy man

I watched you suffer
I watched you cry
I tried to hold you
but god knows why you spite the ones who love you

Maybe you see joy as weakness
Or maybe you just hate yourself
And that made me hate myself

So read your books, and write your bible
But judge not, lest you be judged
holy man

I watched you suffer
I watched you cry
I tried to hold you
but god knows why you spite the ones who love you

I watched you suffer
I watched you cry
I tried to hold you
But god knows why you spite the ones who love you the most

Lyrics:
When I meet my maker, when I lose my life
I hope to find a phone line

So I can call you just to hear your voice
I’ll call you just to hear your voice

From a pretty painting of paradise
I’ll say your name through the frame

You may meet a stranger, asking for the time
With blue eyes that remind you of mine

I’ll call you just to hear your voice
I’ll call you just to hear your voice

Can’t shake the feeling of deja vu
When sunlight fills your room
I don’t know the meaning of your dreams
Though tell me everything

I’ll call you just to hear your voice
I’ll call you just to hear your voice
I’ll call you just to hear your voice
I’ll call you just to hear your voice
I’ll call you just to hear your voice
I’ll call you just to hear your voice
I’ll call you just to hear your voice
I’ll call you just to hear your voice

Lyrics:
Be my bride, my lover
Would you be the mother of my child?
All my life I’ll sing and buy you things

like this diamond ring of fire, ring of gold
Ring of fire, ring of highway road

I swear I’ve never seen a girl so pretty and wild
A thousand hearts you took
with that look in your eyes

Ring of fire, ring of gold
Ring of fire, ring of highway road

I’ve seen angels fly every night above our bed
But all I see is white fluorescent light in this hotel

Ring of fire, ring of gold
Ring of fire, ring of highway road

Music is in my soul
Rock and roll is in my blood
So many years I’ve bled in the red for the love

But all that love I’ve found in the sound and the songs
I’m saving for my girl back home

Ring of fire, ring of gold
Ring of fire, ring of highway
Ring of fire, ring of gold
Ring of fire, ring of highway road

Lyrics:
Making words up while we made love
one month and she’s in my blood
Ooheeah lalo, faroosee mneykro
Will it be me or it will it be her
to say I love you first?

Built a fire with oak and juniper and cypress
gasoline, I knew she’d like it
She drew Orion on my belly with her finger
Then I asked if I could kiss her

Making words up while we made love
one month and she’s in my blood
Ooheeah lalo, faroosee mneykro
Will it be me or it will it be her
to say I love you first?

We lay in silence through the morning
Until language slowly started forming
She hummed a lullaby
I recognized from when I was a newborn

Making words up while we made love
one month and she’s in my blood
Ooheeah lalo, faroosee mneykro
Will it be me or it will it be her
to say I love you first?

In one million years, maybe I’ll be a light beam
A lonely laser in the vacuum
And maybe she’s a photon too
and we’ll pass through each other, tied in quantum
Making words up while we made love
one month and she’s in my blood

Ooheeah lalo, faroosee mneykro
Will it be me or it will it be her
to say I love you first?

Lyrics:
I try to write to contain my life
To love my wife
I try to write a broken wing
Try to sing pretty things

Found a tunnel underneath the road
A place I go to sing with echo echo echo
I thought I let go, thought I let go

Been trying to receive it but my demon’s still breathing
I thought that I had killed it but it’s crawling in the weeds again
My demon is my darkness and my darkness is my angel
I taught him how to read, now I’m teaching him to write

Six dimensions unobserved
The shape of love in Calabi-Yau manifolds
The more I learn the less I know

Stole that last line from my friend
Tucker Zimer-zim-zim-zimmerman
The line between us all is thin

Been trying to receive it but my demon’s still breathing
I thought that I had killed it but it’s crawling in the weeds again
My demon is my darkness and my darkness is my angel
I taught him how to read, now I’m teaching him to write
