Perfect Day
The Constellations Lyrics
The wind blows cool across my face
I can the smell the taste,
A trace of lace
There's something sinister in place
It leaves me restless
With no peace
To fade away
It's a perfect day to
Turn away and run
It's a perfect day
To go and tie one off
It's a perfect day
To waste away
A perfect plot to play
Just another
Perfect day,
But before you know,
It's gone
My mind slips
Further from what's real
Take my hands away
From the steering wheel
I'm crashing,
Coming down in waves
I wipe the sweat
From upon my face
And it's a perfect day
To leave this place
It's a perfect day
To hide in my own home
It's a perfect day
And it's taking its toll
It's a perfect day
To waste away
Your perfect part to play
Just another
Perfect day,
But before you know,
It's gone
It's a perfect day
To hide down in my home
It's a perfect day
And it's taking its toll
It's a perfect day
To waste away
Your perfect part to play
Just another
Perfect day,
But before you know,
It's gone

Dubbed an Atlanta supergroup by locals, The Constellations officially formed when vocalist Elijah Jones teamed up with Grammy-winning producer Ben H. Allen (Animal Collective, Gnarls Barkley) to create Southern Gothic. Jones and Allen tossed ideas around for two years before finally recording. Now the band and its ever-changing line-up of Atlanta musicians is playing sold out shows in Atlanta’s most popular venues, from the Earl, Star Bar, Lenny’s, the Drunken Unicorn, and even Athens’ the 40 Watt.

Allen (Animal Collective, Gnarls Barkley) to create Southern Gothic. Jones and Allen tossed ideas around for two years before finally recording. Now the band and its ever-changing line-up of Atlanta musicians is playing sold out shows in Atlanta’s most popular venues, from the Earl, Star Bar, Lenny’s, the Drunken Unicorn, and even Athens’ the 40 Watt.
Recorded at Maze Studios, Southern Gothic (?Make Records Not Bombs?, 2008) is a meandering tour of the underbelly of Atlanta, lead by Jones’ gruff delivery and parabolic lyrics. Lush production invokes the muscular rhythms of ‘70s Fela Kuti, the propelling pop sensibility of the Gorillaz and the vocals of a modern-day Tom Waits. Cee Lo of Gnarls Barkley and newly signed SRC artist Asher Roth are featured on the album, with a revision of Tom Waits’ “Step Right Up” as a centerpiece. Also on the album are Atlanta musicians Brand Hagen (Trances Arc) and Julian Dorio (The Whigs). The Constellations live show consists of a five-man band backing Jones’ trademark vocals and persona: James Arnold, Ryan Davis, Jamie Gordon, Wes Hoffman and Jason Nackers (Second Shift). A crowd-pleasing, all-girl “Clap Squad” covers back-up vocals and completes the spectacle. The band plays locally monthly and will begin touring nationally this summer.
