Matt Marn Surprising sound... love the extra effects, on top of the already amazing country-rock sound they have going. And best of all for me, the LYRICS! The imagery and pictures they paint are outstanding Favorite track: Here in our Hands.

1.
I built a staircase to the stars / and if you'll hold my hand / we could walk up to the dark that they divide // It's kind of like the spaces / that we drift between / like boats pointed toward islands of light // I won't ask any questions / You don't have to say a word / we will be like an answer / they've never heard // Looking into the water / the stars shake like candle lights / lit under the surface at night // Are you hiding under there? / my vision is so impaired / I can't read the expression on your face // Won't you throw me a bone / something I can hold on to / like a doorway that could hold my eyes in place // I won't ask any questions / you don't have to say a word / we'll unlock the cryptic answers / forgotten at birth // Ascending to the top / we'll step off the highest stair / and fall into the darkness gathered there // It's kind of like the water / you swam in late that night / while I watched from the dock in the moonlight // Sinking deeper down / like bullets shot in the ground / we'll float like sweet vertigo in flight // You can ask me any questions / I'll answer all without a word / meaning like buried seeds of birds / from the earth will sing //
2.
My heart was in a bucket, my head was on the floor / and crying does something like a little stream of whisky does / and I ain't done nothing good today // I can't stop coughing so I might just give up smoking / if I did my days would end up broken down / and I ain't done nothing good today // and I hope tomorrow don't end up the same / 'cause I ain't done nothing good today // It's been a while since I cut myself wide open / I still don't know exactly what I'm hoping for / I ain't done nothing good today //
3.
I kinda want to settle in / but I'm never sure what's on your mind / Stop flying my head around / I know it doesn't make sense / you light up a cigarette in defense / Stop dragging my heart around / Now I ain't afraid of a little emotion / so why not let the waters rise and show some? // I hear the river that you try to keep down / running all through you with a rushing sound / I'd like a strong drink from your cup / and I don't ever want it watered down // It's a long time we had to wait / now I just want to celebrate with you / I'd like to fall like a feather / brush across the edges of your mind / but maybe I came like heavy weather / and stirred up things you try to hide // (Chorus) // Like a two-track winding through the woods / can't see how far it leads / Is this just a seasonal road that we're on? / We won't know unless we ride it out // (Chorus) //
4.
I will stand in the grass on a sunny day thinking about all that has passed / behind me, in front of me, over me and under me and through me like a pane of smudged glass / barefoot chills in the early spring morning air, feeling the thaw in my toes / humming a tune to the breeze that blows like a thought that wasn't my own // I'll walk these city streets down to the market where people stand shuffling around / How'd we ever think we were gonna save the world if we couldn't even save ourselves? / Hand to hand passing food pulled from the land in ways that we can understand / There's always more work to be done but this is work people are doing right now // All things have their season and don't need a reason / so I don't mind laying low until the weather's right // I won't ignore those clouds passing overhead, everything has something to show / The rivers inside are poisoned by lies that follow us wherever we go / I'll walk hand in hand with all my contradictions and still know where to take my stand / Sing a song to the rain, it falls to us / the revolution's here in our hands //
5.
Waking Up 04:24
If all that I need is the sorrow that I breathe / then I'll let my bad habits kill me / I forgot what I said but it don't matter yet / I rely on words to catch me // And I would try to say / if I knew how to breathe // You woke me up but I'm already gone / it might be late but my shadow lingers on / Take my head and bury it in sound / Waking up only brings me down // Now I'm all alone and I'm years from home but / tenderness is calling / Got nothing to expect and a pack of cigarettes, I'll be / headed in your direction // (Chorus) // Think I'll pack it up, all my money's spent / the road burned a hole in the Best of Merle cassette / and I didn't think I had that much to lose / Now I don't understand what I thought I knew // (Chorus) //
6.
So I guess this is how the story ends / now we turn and learn to begin again / Though it seems like there's nowhere in this world for our love to go / I know we gave it life of its own // Summer sun will force you up into the light / of long days, thick and bittersweet / I need a storm to come and break up all the heat of this misery / to come on strong and wash my love clean // And I'll sing / sing my love into the sky and let it ride / ride high and sing back to me // These nights my heart has beaten heavy against / the space you filled, weighing down my chest / It seems the ghost of our love follows me wherever I go / It haunts my sleep and won't let go // And I'll sing / sing away the fear and just let it die / let it die and rest awhile / sing my love into the sky and let it ride / ride high and sing back the world // Will these dreams find a grave / and go to seed with all we gave? / I don't know how to let them go / and follow down that winding road //
