... and are you really here or set on sailing swiftly away from streets where you had sought to grow up quickly? the sun is setting faster north of where we stand, and where we'll stay; don't let me carry you away. the brightest morning isn't shining like it did, peaking through curtains when your lover touched your skin. the bravest thing we did was cry ourselves to sleep, and separately. (in time) we'll find familiar peace...

waitin' out in the leaves my friends, they tried, but as for me every step that they took i took one leap back a freight train passed in the night foghorn soundin' like fourth of july a firework that ended with a crack a car stopped at Forest (st.) and Park (st.) we were standing alone in the dark and a halo rested atop her long brown hair the street-lamp was a-light when the daylight of dawn had died we were alone i kissed your halo there (slide guitar kickassery) once the halo had gone the shoulders i stood upon were lying on the ground so cold and wet the rain had kissed the ground some time ago, my friends had found and they shook off all the cold and started yet they made fun of all my words and i remembered hers "darling, hold onto your tongue ill be home soon" so we laughed in the night as the freight train left our sight FAMILIAR PEACE, it seemed had left that afternoon ... my body loves to ache for our pleasant "good ol' days" but it's all illusion made to make us hurt at least we won't go off to war and if we did, what would we for? you know love will last beyond the dirt!

about

!super secret bonus song: "I Will Bury You In Time (Neutral Milk Hotel cover)"!

written and recorded in the span of one dreary, beautiful, dramatic, lovely, chaotic, introspective, creative summer in 2015 (three months). recorded in the same damn attic over those three months, no matter how hot it got up there.

credits

released August 27, 2015

guitars, banjos, and vocals of various kinds supplied by Ryan Burns, who also wrote the lyrics to the two whole original songs. two whole original songs, isn't that precious? that's for you to decide.

recorded with M. T. Jones' microphone, because he's a kind sir, and edited in Audacity.

cover art provided by E. Hand and his suave use of filters.
