Opening Instructions (feat. Lindsay Holler) 01:56
lyrics
These kinds of days Pull me away Clouds on the lawn Pull me down from Bed is a mess "What was that?" All of the signs Are pointing back To Where we are Where you are Where we are Where you are Where we are

All-Star Reunion: Tiny Blue Room Version 03:46
lyrics
download
You were not around When the news came to me You were out working in the yard I was trying hard Not to cry out loud It was all over the radio and tv stations (Anyway) We were not prepared for this Can you tell me why, when and how such Distaster strikes when we are not prepared Someone else has to come and fight for All that we've preserved All we've got here and all we've not yet Found the time to build What's the meaning Well, maybe there's a way We can take everything that we need For the time we've got We've got left to live 'Cause there's so much to give I was fast asleep Wondering if today was the day He would not awake And he did not wake But, he gave me this
3.
Honey (feat. Ashley Hopkins) 04:33
lyrics
For the rain cloud patterns darkening Twisted and listless You give me the medicine For the undone ceaseless calamities I can hardly listen 'til you give me the medicine, honey Hollow-handed limitations No connections None worth saving But, you set me straight For the ages that trendlessly fluctuate Leave houses abandoned You give me the medicine, honey Hallow-handed limitation No connections None worth saving But, you set me straight And you kept me safe, honey
4.
When It Goes (feat. Michael Hanf) 03:34
lyrics
In a flash like a cameo Could be something but I can't be sure Too late now In a box like it's comatose Keeping thoughts so that no one knows Jealous, so jealous At the bar in a sorry state If you ask nice, I still won't behave It's my nature In a house somewhere upstate It's so quiet you can hear the stars moving in place Moving in place And so it goes And so it goes And so it goes When it goes
5.
Red Helmet (feat. Jenna Lyles) 03:00
lyrics
Sometimes, I think I see you ride your bike Down my street, I get happy And anxious, too You're on my mind Like all the time
6.
W is for Walrus (feat. Bill Carson) 01:19
lyrics
(Break it down.) Are we there Can we see the spot Crashing waves against the rocks I can't wait to lose my socks Something strange Something beautiful Something grabbed me by the brain It had me rethink the game Built it up just to break it down Just to hear it make a sound Just to feel it all around How I wish for another one One more day to feel the sun Basking over everyone
7.
Pink Glasses (feat. Ashley Hopkins, The Amazing Mittens) 03:37
lyrics
Pink glasses on Brown eyes on A pale face on A bent body on A bumpy sidewalk Carrying other Bent bodies with Long faces with Brown and blue eyes Behind old frames Making pet sounds Wanting new owners But, avoiding contact Sometimes all we need is Just a bump from someone else
8.
To The Movies (feat. Daniel McCurry) 05:02
lyrics
I want to walk to the movie with you Just holding hands on a walk, yes it's true Find us some snacks on the way and see the view Into the valley of the future with you Anywhere you want to go I just want to be right with you and see you through Every new season changing over and into Every other season The reason is simply: You put me in a better place Even when the place I'm in isn't all that bad I'm so glad that you seem to feel the same way About the way the day is not quite as grand (Unless I am) Getting to walk to the movies with you Clasping your hands in the late afternoon Feeding you fruit and talking with you I want to walk to the movies with you

about

---

This compilation was put together as an under the radar fundraiser for a couple of friends who lost their home and nearly all of their belongings due to a fire in early Spring.

Thanks to the musicians who contributed their time and creativity to this project. They lived in both Charleston and New York.

These tracks are newly mixed versions of previously recorded material (found on "A is for Acoustics" and "E is for Electronics").

It will be for sale on a "pay-what-you-will" scale throughout the month of May.

Thank you for listening and for your support.
