about

It can all be too much at times. The need for simplicity and a return to the wide open serenity of desert space is a bright warm glow deep inside. It reminds us of our own vastness, our own potential for emptiness. The peace from a barren space can foster our internal stillness and settle even the most agitated and cringing cells in our skin. We embrace the sky and sand. We smile into the bright blue and golden void.

"Desert" was recorded in our home studio in Columbus, OH.

lyrics

I’ve seen enough
I want no more
The desert calls
Let’s leave the shore
Will they take cash
To be ignored?
We’ll track sand across our floor

The teeth will gnash
The tongues will spew
Lessons taught
We always knew
A forgotten friend
Or maybe two
It’s time for just me and you

A paper bag
To breathe again
A mind on fire
The smoke gets in
A paper bag
To breathe again
A mind on fire
The smoke gets in
The curtains black
The world may end
But sun melts snow again

A little shack
Without the noise
A bowl for rice
Some sonic toys
We’ll play a song
No one enjoys
We’ll sing without a voice

We’ll walk a path
Without disguise
‘Neath clouds of gray
And cloudier eyes
Soaked with tears
And soft goodbyes
Wrapped up in desert skies

An open sky
To breathe again
A calmer mind
The fire ends
An open sky
To breathe again
A calmer mind
The fire ends
The ember soft
Within your eyes
Wrapped up in desert skies

In This Together

This track is so beautifully written, it is an absolutely wonderful song which presents this idea that when two people love each other unconditionally they can experience life in a way that is entirely different than what they have previously experienced. yodaleiaheehoo
