Mal Blum - San Cristóbal (full band version) [Official Audio]

Mal Blum - San Cristóbal (full band version)
Nobody Waits b/w San Cristóbal

LYRICS
I have not been writing
that many new songs
how I wish I could stay longer
how I wish I’d never gone

you have not been writing me
as often as I wished
sometimes I think I left you
just to see if I'd be missed

I saw my fortune scrawled out
up against the wall
in a crowded market place
in a town I can't recall
the teller told me that I would be
young and I would fall
but my new friends all assured me
that it all was surely false

back at home, you found religion
in a dirty crystal ball
in the back of a dollar store
in that shopping mall
I found religion
out in San Cristobal
now I feel that I've come far enough
to give you a call

I have not been writing
as often as I'd hoped
but there are some things you're good at
and then some you can't control
you have not been visiting
I can't say that I mind
'cause every time you go somewhere
you leave somewhere behind

I saw my fortune scrawled out
up against the wall
in a crowded market place
in a town I can't recall
and the teller told me that I would be
young and I would fall
but I didn't think he meant so soon
not so soon at all
back at home, you found religion
in a dirty crystal ball
in the back of a dollar store
in that shopping mall
I found religion
out in San Cristobal
now I feel that I've come far enough
to give you a call
so I'm calling now but it says
I don't got the number right

your body looks to me
a way it never has before
and is this what's making you so sad,
and what you did this for?
she said,
your body looks to me
a way it never has before
and is this what's making you so sad,
and I can't do this anymore

I found religion
in a dirty bathroom stall
in the back of a liquor store
in the back of a mini mall

you found religion
when you realized you could fall
now you say that you've come far enough
to give me a call
so you're calling now, but I lie
and I tell you that I moved

everything's brand new.

[PunchKickLipstick]

going from San Cristóbal to San Cristóbal (full band version) is transition goals. I will not elaborate.

[Megan-dscc]

I got my 7" today and this song KILLS. God bless Saddle Creek for getting a re-recorded version of San Cristobal for us because we needed this.

[Ignatius_riley]

Damn, I just discovered mal Blum on Spotify and am addicted to all the available songs. Very talented.

[matildatheoboldt]

This song is so raw and emotional, really captures the feeling of a love that lingers years after you said goodbye and went on with your own life but yet you never really "moved" on from it. I can't think of another song that conveys that longing and loss

[SuperNoOne]

I heard them perform this version of San Cristobal last year in concert and have been hoping for a rerecording of it!! SO excited they decided to put one out

[SwagMasterDank]

An absolute banger. Always wanted a full band version and this exceeded any and all hopes.

[killbots]

So I'm sure I'm in the minority here but I actually prefer the solo version. Not that the band is bad I just prefer the vocals and acoustic combo. Is there any chance the original will make it's way onto Amazon music?

[nahyutarightsactivist]

GOD OH MY GOD I LOVE THIS SONG I DIDNT KNOW HOW BADLY I NEEDED A RE-RECORDING UNTIL I SAW IT ON TWITTER ITS SO FUCKING

[michealbounds]

Here because of Riley Hopkins and Their Amazing Friends.
