Dying Suns 04:59
I only know how this ends Death and then we wake again Stretched out on your father’s lawn With a grief that never leaves I only know how we change We’re old and then we’re young again Laughing at our fate in the dark With a secret that isn’t ours to keep I always fall in love The moment you’re unafraid Tell me we’ll both get lost In the beauty of dying suns I only know where we’ve been And where we can never return Speaking words that are not our own In a voice just like the Ghost What if all of this is just a moment What if all of this is just one moment What if all of this is just a gift of moments I only have one heart I only have one voice I only have one life For you Always for you
2.
Overpass 03:16
I dreamed of the moment we laid in the dark And all of the reasons to hide your heart But our love is just an overpass If I spoke with the wisdom of angels and fools Would it make any difference to the truth? Our love is just an overpass Shadows in Battery Park The long walk to what we want Every Lazarus false start Our love is just an overpass
3.
You were out of your head We were both out of time I promised you I would stay But you were already gone California Drive to the coast Off the edge of the world Is that far enough? We live by fading light Count our days by the stars I try to say it out loud You only bury the loss California Drive to the coast Off the edge of the world Is that far enough? I don't want a second chance I only want the first ......is that far enough?

People want their bands broke A great buried treasure Discovered on deathbeds Tangled mythologies We want the truth like ghosts A feeling that comes and goes One moment you know The next you want it buried low But I'm not stranded in your dark I'm not stranded in your dark I can always start again I can always start again I can always start again I can always start again Its just harder than the last
5.
I feel the weight Of this year inside your eyes A familiar blade One to heal, one to forget Hope is a dark train Suffers a strange fate Hope is a dark train As it travels to the dawn Who can choose, What to keep and what to lose? Each heart that breaks Always gives more than it takes Hope is a dark train Suffers a strange fate Hope is a dark train As it travels to the dawn I heard you call Somewhere in the high desert air You forgave me once And it remains now evermore Hope is a dark train Suffers a strange fate Hope is a dark train As it travels to the dawn

about

'Soundtrack for Survival'

While quarantine halted the completion of the next Vanishing Shores record, I decided to have a few of my demos mixed for an official release. These songs were approached without an insistence on perfecting every note and performance. I wanted the songs to keep the original heart and passion of each ragged expression. No masks. No pretense. Indie rock without excuses.

I sent these songs to Robbie Hamilton to mix and he also added a number of beautiful textures and harmonies to the songs and co-produced. Very grateful for his creative input and friendship. It was also very meaningful to me to reconnect with him after over 20 years.

As we all reflect on the madness of this year, it is my deep desire that we will grow more expansive in our love for one another and definitively reject the things that tear us apart.
