Moonlit smile my dear
My first impression of you
I can't recall just how it was our paths had crossed
But when they did my lease on life renewed
And I never knew who I was
'Til I saw your face brightened by the stars
And I never liked my name
'Til I saw it carved under yours
Moonlit smile my love
My first impression of you

I Know What It Is I Want
05:03

|
I know what it is I want
And now it's here for the first time
Losing faith in my fountains again
And searching from within is alien
Reaching in and blaring out, honing in on a sound
I know what it is I need tonight
An ocean wide as my mouth
A lighthouse seldom means de(a/p)th
Standing out from the rest
I know what it is I want

I Echo
04:31
|
|||
|
I jot it on the page, and save it for the New Year
You demanded change, but I just want to stay here
Until the darkness comes and swallows me entirely
But if you see a shining light distorted by the heat, it isn't real at all
I echo in the black, hoping it will reach you
But it just bounces back like bats that call in vain in dark gloom
But still I gasp for air and pray it's not my fault
But could it be the one you knew was waiting all the while
For you to call
And do you stop and stare and sit there all night waiting by the phone
While I tumble away
And can you stand to spend a lonely widow's lifetime on your own
While we crumble away

Finally
04:47
|
|||
|
A cold harsh nightfall freezes out the lights
Manifests from within and shows its' darker side
But can you feel it - the warmth I feel for you?
And is it reciprocal - or has my mind gone too?
Finally I've found it
Finally it's melted and
Finally it's ended with you
In case I've forgotten - how do you bleed?
If dreams become reality - and when they don't - how do you grieve?
Because you can't grieve on something you've never learned

Hands To Feel

I roam the land with your shape by my side
At least I feel it like a ghost or a spirit
Because you're gone and it hasn't hit me yet
Because you're gone - a nightmare in a net
'Cause I need both my hands to feel
And I need both my eyes to see
When I found you, you were small and black
And now that you're gone you're always there in the back
Of my mind, all the time - even when I'm sleeping
And in my dreams - so it seems - you're always in there waiting
'Cause I need both my hands to feel
And I need both my eyes to see
And I need both my lungs to breathe
And I need both of us to be

You & I
03:57
|
|||
|
It's been a long long time
Since we've talked about anything important
And our friends they all hang out without us
We don't mean much to them anymore
'Cause you and I aren't meant to be
The earth has turned towards the sun
1,000 times since the day I learned your name
1,000 days isn't really that long if you're a star
But it's a hell of a lot when you've only got so many days left
What's the point of being with somebody who makes me lonely?
And I bet you're unhappy too.

Lunar Love
04:49
|

I guess it's time I told you about
The way I feel each time I feel your body every night
And though I know it's always there
I'll trace and retrace my steps 'til morning's light
I'd walk a hundred miles a day
To see your face shine the dark away
And though It's true the sun shines best sometimes
It's to your eyes the stars all align
So baby please stay the night, stay the weekend, stay the week
Stay with me beside me forever - that'd be so fine by me
Read my skin like an open book
My goosebumps like they're Braille
Lunar love please say you'll stay around
Until my bones they turn old and frail
So baby please stay the night, stay the weekend, stay the week
Stay with me beside me forever - that'd be so fine by me
You'd be so fine with me
I guess it's time I told you about the way I feel
Each time I see stars in your eyes

This was the only record made by my last band The Color Exchange (2015), featuring myself on lead vocals, bass, and lyrics. Made ourselves as BNB audio, mastered by Nick Petersen (Bon Iver).

This is the only LP thus far from Happy Abandon (bass). It allowed us to play everywhere in the US and Ireland, and parts of the UK, Canada, and even Amsterdam. Still super proud of this one.
