you remember everything you remember everything you remember everything bring it back for me the taste of the gum in the baseball pack the sound of the fuse of the fire crack. there's a rock in my hand I let it fly the glass just broke I learn to lie you remember everything you remember everything you remember everything bring it back for me there was the day I ran away climbed out on the roof and hid in the dusk would I be gone for good of this neighborhood this vantage point is my vanishing point I don't know but you don't care I don't know but you don't care lets go home.

and she was the first one to leave. and she was holding court from the ground. and she was easter and bourbon motown and daisies holding court from the ground we're sitting in the dark, talking the bottoms of our souls touching what can we learn from tragedy? and he was a sinner and a savior and he was awkward and sexy and he was red boots and disco hot dogs and devo the city and the cool what can we learn, what can we learn, from our grief? what can we learn, what can we learn, from insanity? and I was the keeper of his secret and I was there when she left and I was instantly adult breathless and stubborn a ressusitation of the dream.

about

Recorded primarily while on a road trip in the spring of 2012 with dear friends Wendy and Geof. I recorded the last three tracks (those with voice & acoustic guitar) inside a 100 year old beehive shaped charcoal kiln. The reverb on these tracks is the sound of the room, as recorded from the exact center of the kiln.
