Shooting Stars (Lyrics)

Looking so young and self assured, with her black hair flowing in the wind. Riding this rusty bike up Avenue of the Americas. Just a look as long as it takes to draw a careful breath, And realize after this moment, I may never see her again.

We're passing like shooting stars in the sky I could have missed it all in the blink of an eye.

I could throw out my arms for the world to see, Scatter my cares to be carried on summer's breeze, But below a thousand stories are flooding the streets, So it doesn't matter much what I believe.

We're passing like shooting stars in the sky I could have missed it all in the blink of an eye. We're passing like shooting stars in the sky Watch the flower's pedals wilt, wither, and slowly die.

~

Oh I'll come back for you, if you can remember my face. I'll come back for you, if you can only wait. I'll come back for you, if you can wait.

Our Fallen Cities (lyrics)

There is a place where we can hide, I'm going to take you there tonight. And under the blanket of the midnight sky, We'll count stars and fireflies.

So have no fear of men with guns, dogs and searching lights. We're safe from harm together now, lets ration out the night.

But under the blanket of the midnight sky...

All our highways emptied out, After our cities crumbled down. Now the paint it cracks and fades, On those buildings far away, And we just take time to enjoy the life we've made.

After a few seasons passed us by, There's no more sirens in the night. We built a happy home in the heart of the hillside, and warm our hands around the fire.

Under the blanket of the midnight sky...

All our highways emptied out, After our cities crumbled down. Watch the paint it cracks and fades, On those buildings far away, As we just take time to enjoy the life we've made.

Oh my darling if I reach the end of life, You know I hope you will not cry. We'll be together some day on the other side, Two twinkling stars in the sky.

Today the final mastered version of "Our Fallen Cities" was delivered for digital distribution!

The album was recorded over the course of approximately three years, from mid 2007- early 2010, in apartments and studios all around Brooklyn and Manhattan.  Abe Pollack, Asher Lack, and Tsugumi TKS contributed their instrumental and vocal skills on several tracks.  It was mastered by Nathan James at the Vault Mastering studio.  Jessica Moon designed the cover art, and all the photography used in the artwork and here on the site.

Over the next few weeks, I'll be posting some blog entries here that detail some of the interesting bits of gear, instruments, places, and events that went into the making of the album.
