Biography:
"Less of a band than an exuberant orbit of bright weird planets circling the joyful kinesis of main-songster Theo Hilton, Nana Grizol's debut album "Love It Love It" sees release on Orange Twin on May 13, 2008. Recorded in their hometown of Athens Georgia directly after a month-long tour of DIY spaces across the States, this record finds the band brimming with energy and rightly well-honed where live performance is concerned; "Love It Love It" sacrifices none of the band's beloved, sweat-stained essence.

[Verse 1]
E
Mississippi swells I know
E
Ever-drawing line to another time
F#m
To the sirens of Chicago
B
Or Memphis' eerie glow
E
Not quite cause you're chosen so
E
But in drains we draw in to drown
F#m
It's such a small town so your instincts made you go
B
And you reflect on things you now know
E G#m
Like how Cindy said "it all seems the same"
F#m
Embedded in patterns you don't notice
B
The future's out of focus
E
It's a shame
G#m A
The flashlight just falls in the direction you're headed
[Verse 2]
E G#m
But you just knew there's nothing to gain
F#m B
No measure of light among the sightless, immobilized and righteous
E
It was pain
G#m A
So you pointed your beam in the direction of anywhere
[Chorus]
C#m A
And though urbanity was not without its flaws
B
You found the time and space you'd need to sharpen your claws
A E
And hone your eyesight on the skeletons upon which all your little interactions carry on
F#m
Those that are visible and not
F#m
Metaphysical and hot
B
The anatomy of everything
[Verse 3]
E
So when I got to your city, it was summer
F#m
It was pretty and we walked around because we had the time
B
You remarked on all the places that you hadn't seen in ages
E
Disconnected from the metro city lines
F#m
And on the closed doors of the fire stations
B
Testament to forced displacement
E G#m A
Shocked me so to see it from the ground
E B A
What seemed so functional from great heights looking down
[Chorus]
C#m A
But cities observed from planes
B
At some point, so deceptively, all start to look the same
A
You get distracted by the light below the clouds
E
It seems to shine on through the night, you know
F#m
And how it seems so lit up to some line
F#m
Feel the brightness so confined
B
Only skyscrapers shine
A
The tallest buildings do define
[Trumpet Solo]
E G#m A B E G#m A (x2)
E F#m B
[Verse 4]
E
In letters now you wonder
E
The lights you're living under
F#m
And the vantage points you've yet to even come upon
B
You dream of transportation, infrastructure, the bus stations
E
On the blocks between the shops the lights flicker on and off and on
F#m B
And my imagination too travels those streets
E F#m A
Thinking of places and the people that we meet
E B A
And conversations with strangers on bus seats
[Chorus]
C#m A
Like you and Arthur on the 28
B
The 45 fading from sight of the day
A
Saying "Oh it is magical and cold
E
The place where cities and starscapes collide"
A E
I think of the people alive and awake on Magnolia's steep side
F#m B A E
The living room lamps and the headlights of cars are like fireflies in the night sky
E
Mississippi swells I know
E
Ever-drawing line to another time
F#m
To the sirens of Chicago
B
Or Memphis' eerie glow
E
Not quite cause you're chosen so
E

F#m
