    ALSO AVAILABLE ON A LIMITED RUN of 50 AQUA BLUE CASSETTES available via Drip Tapes:
    driptapes.storenvy.com/products/10474689-metro-together-cassette

    These are about as DIY as it gets. All handmade by me, so none of them are PERFECT and no two look exactly the same, but hey it gives them character. The CD comes in an eco friendly sleeve and each disk is hand stamped, so the text on your disk might be a little smudged. Nothing major though. Included with the purchase will be a neat sticker and a code to download the album for free. Each CD sleeve will be hand numbered out of 20.

    Includes unlimited streaming of Together via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

Subordinate 00:48
time is on my side is on my mind tonight and every night
2.
Now Now 02:03
woke up with a fever that lasted all day i told myself i don't wanna go away i woke up with that feeling in my chest again the one that says "hey, lets just be friends" i said baby baby baby it's 'gone be alright if you trust in me we'll all be fine just a little bit of me under your skin tonight have faith in me all we do is lie
3.
theres a crack in the floorboards there are stains in my sheets from where i cried over you for fifty seven weeks and into my dreams we kissed on your sofa and the floor but all you said was "no more" you're inside my brain now but you have a boyfriend and he's in your pants but he's all you've got you keep insisting and he'll drunk text you while we're kissing my hands are down your sides where his have been but your skin feels no different than it did
4.
i wanna talk about you usually but i'd rather just talk about me i see you sitting in the passenger seat i hope you're thinking of me i wanna let go of everything that isn't real but my head is spinning a silhouette of myself beside me in the passenger seat i've seen a million of your faces in every day things and i have seen the trees in san francisco grow new leaves but i'm still stuck on last summer it seems
5.
2 Weeks 03:37
I’ve seen a lot of day dreams but none of them are bad I’ve seen a lot of wormholes can they take me back please just take me back dreaming in the colors of your bathroom the tile feels so cold against my face got seven years up under this old belt of mine but none of it is weight I’ve had a lot of nightmares and most of them are bad I’m trying to forget about you yeah dont worry about that but I worry that I can’t I worry about that got a list of reasons why it failed and all of them are my fault got ink under my fingernails most nights my wounds are filled with salt
6.
Espoir 01:54
i’ll go back to writing songs about girls who won’t listen and i’ll beat myself up again and again and i’ll kiss your face in a dimly lit car but it won’t be 'til morning that i see who you are 'cause the moonlight is a liar and i guess so am i but we all make mistakes and we’re all hung to dry i’m a sinner wrapped up in the arms of a saint you’re a little black dress that we both know will fade in the morning what seemed like a pretty good thing will seem bleak in the eyes of a girl with a purity ring and i’m honest to you so you could at least do the same let it be set me free let it ring let it ring let it ring
7.
Electricity 01:41
i am the electric hum you hear when it rains in this suburban home you are the rubber beneath my feet keeping me safe from electricity and as it puddles and pulls us in i see you smirk i see that grin if i died right now i'd be a better human a better man
8.
Aeroplane 02:55
i fell asleep on an airplane i woke up next to a man without a name i fell asleep in your king sized bed i woke up in a daze i don't know whose bed i'm in i saw a ghost with a flashlight last night i've been myself again i've been wandering aimlessly with a map drawn on the back on my hand i see a city in the small of your back i see myself in the smoke when you exhale i've got a ticket to somewhere and you've got a bitter taste left in your mouth
9.
Splinters 01:56
i’ve seen everything and i know all the things that go on inside you i’ve seen better days but i can still breathe nonetheless splinters in the sheets and water in-between getting dressed and staying clean getting best at a routine and sundays car alarms and dirty things getting better every day i know this i’ve been climbing all these trees in search of you but i’m afraid you don’t exist
10.
Shower 04:16
i dreamt you were in my shower using all of my soap but then you walked across my room and through the wall just like a ghost and i know that it's hard figuring out who you are but its getting yeah its getting really old i dreamt you were in my bed again i dreamt we were sleeping skin to skin and i know that it's hard figuring out just who you want but its getting yeah its getting out of hand
11.
May 17 2014 01:17
i fell apart and i would know i'll find your face and i'll carve it into stone i'm floating i'm going and i think about you so think about me

Adieu 02:52

about

"There is some absolutely ace songwriting ( and singing) happening here. It’s like some lost post punk classic from 1981, but doesn’t sound remotely dated. Metro’s newly released Together album is full of spare, confessional beauties (and hey, the vocals are pretty fine as well )." – Hope (dontneednomelody.com)

"Your songwriting is fantastic, some of the best I have heard in a while. Keep it up!" – Andrew Seymour (pulcherfight.bandcamp.com)

"Together is the latest album from New Orleans singer/songwriter Metro, aka Beth Hollingsworth. The twelve tracks are intimate lo-fi gems, that are compelling in every way a record can be. Hollingsworth is a gifted songwriter, whose post-punk anthems stylishly draw one into her world, never to return." – (floorshimezipperboots.blogspot.com)
