Adrift
04:11
|

We slipped into unconsciousness
But consciously we stayed adrift
Abstract notions strangely intertwined
Reflecting love and hate and right and wrong
But willfully we move along
Ignoring all the warning signs
Our minds they may be gone
Too far along
We did not know
That help was right around the corner

Air You Breathe

Break down your walls for me
I’ll pay for the air you breathe
Pardon me while I enjoy your atmosphere
And now I’m blinded by the warmth of happy tears
Break down your walls for me
I’ll pay for the air you breathe
You gotta tear them down
Mama
You gotta tear them down
Mama

Back and Forth
04:05
|

We’ve broken into two what once was one
We shattered all the joys that once were fun
Yet every time I fall
You pick me up again
Brush me off and send me packing
Back and forth we drift into each other’s consciousness
The world is pushing us to be together… love
We are kind of like the land and sea
When waves they reach the shore eventually
A moment in the sun we exist as one
Dragged apart in the white water
Back and forth we drift into each other’s consciousness
The world is pushing us to be together… love
Perhaps it’s time to swim for shore
Forget about the things not worth fighting for
Nevermind the ups and downs and circling round
Together we are something better
Back and forth we drift into each other’s consciousness
The world is pushing us to be together… love

Do What You Like

Do what you like
It’s all right
I don’t mind not knowing where I’m going
A perfect life
Is what you’d like
Sometimes a seed needs sowing before growing
I’ll follow silently
If I’ve got someone watching over me
And rather wistfully
As long as I can spend my time with someone who will see things through
You had my heart
Right from the start
When you settled for my simple conversation
I’ll follow silently
If I’ve got someone watching over me
And rather peacefully
We’ll spend our time in paradise, umbrella drinks and glassy eyes
Hoping for the sunny skies but patchy clouds are ok too

Skin and Bones
04:09
|
|||
When I left home
I was skin and bones
Did not know what would become of me
Would a woman do a number on me?
Walked alone
Over streets unknown
Searching for some company
For that woman who’d do a number on me
Somebody who will help me grow
It’s an evolution
Someone to help forget what I know
Call it absolution
It’s that woman… she’ll do a number on me

To My Love
03:08

Here in some foreign town
My situations got me down
Beggars with children all around
I don’t even feel like myself
Feels like I’m someone else
Who am I to turn them down?
I’m so tired of hanging around and my
Situation has got me down
I miss my real life in my home town
I just can’t wait to get back home to my love
The streets are ripe with the smell of old fruit in India
A billion people don’t seem to mind
Sacred cattle roam free on the streets in India
Feeding on discarded on rinds
I’m so tired of hanging around and my
Situation has got me down
I miss my real life in my home town
I just can’t wait to get back home

Blue Melody
05:21
|

So, they figured you out
Did they get you to break your solemn vow?
And sing alone in your room
Did they get you to sing a lonesome tune?
All your melodies colored blue
Here in your room
Are they part of your inspiration?
Even though you sing them in tune
With an indigo hue
You didn't meet their blue expectations of you
You know you're not very well
Did they get you to sell your deepest secrets
Your soul... is that for sale too?
Did they say you could buy it back later if you wanted to?
All your melodies colored blue
Here in your room
Are they part of your inspiration?
Even though you sing them in tune
With an indigo hue
You didn't meet their blue expectations
I get this feeling
I can't believe it
Makes me want to run and hide
You get this feeling
Turn it into melody
Sing it to me and I'll see you on the other side
I get this feeling
I can't believe it
Breaks my heart and kills my pride
You get this feeling
Turn it into melody
Sing it to me and I'll see you on the other side
Sing it to me and I'll see you on the other side
Did you meet their expectations?

Too Much
03:28
|

Too much
I’m tired of doing too much
I want to lay down
And rest my head
Wake to my favorite season
Feel the swaying of the trees and
Let the breeze be the reason
I get up out of bed
Too much
I’m tired of doing too much
I want to wake up
And hear no sound
Except the movement of the ocean
The birds that sing with raw emotion
Freedoms such a simple notion
Tired of being burden bound
Too much
I’m tired of doing too much
Too much
It’s all in my head
Too much
I’m tired of doing too much
As such
I’ll go back to bed

Be My Star
03:22
|
|||
I was lost
I was lost
Took a wrong turn somewhere
Need to right myself despite the cost
I’m not right
I’m not right
To warn down and tired
Need to rest my weary head tonight
Oh would you like to be my star?
So you can shine on me
And hold me close in your warm arms
Oh would you take me from this place?
Shine like a light on me
And keep me warm in your embrace
I was wrong
I was wrong
Words won’t do it justice
Sorry I’ve been this long
Oh would you like to be my star?
So you can shine on me
And hold me close in your warm arms
Oh would you take me from this place?
Shine like a light on me
And keep me warm in your embrace

Justin DiFebbo Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
It simply celebrates that sweet and lush psychedelic sound in the tradition of early '70s Pink Floyd, Big Star, and late '90s Flaming Lips. The beauty and vitality of the songs more than justifies them having to be apologetic about their embrace of this now-classic sound. Everything about it seems to have a kind of timeworn patina that makes it soothing, comfortable, and familiar. ... more
