Red House Painters is an alternative rock group formed in 1989 in San Francisco by singer/songwriter Mark Kozelek. They are described, along with American Music Club, as one of the linchpins of the slowcoremovement in alternative rock. Kozelek used this group primarily as a vehicle for his very personal and emotional songs of despair; pain and suffering.

tell me and take your time
set free this soul of mine
freeze frame this sedate moment
lie me in your quiet ground
i understand your
tired eyes for these
tired homes and tired trees
i see the pain in those
brown eyes
fires burn in autumn skies
