about

My housemate and best friend is the incredibly talented emmy nominated director (and music aficionado), Daniel Stesssen. I composed music for his short film and was commisioned to write an original song for it. This is what I thought his movie sounded like to me, in my head. This is the only song on the album not recorded with Adam Lasus, but instead with Danny Kalb (Beck, Ben Harper, Wilco, Bradford Cox)

lyrics

Motorcycle Rolled
Your motorcycle rolls into the ditch of gold
You check it at the door...it’s not your own
Somebody else’s fear clogged up your veins of blood
Now the cement is poured...there’s no more blood

Dream is all but rain
Hope is nothing more than half-drunk day-old beer and friends passed out on your floor

Your motorcycle rolls into the crowded mall
Your throat, it opens fire....it kills them all
The photographs are bold...the motorcycle rolled
It’s useless anymore, just like our love

Dream is all but rain
Hope is nothing more than half-drunk day-old beer and friends passed out on your floor
Twisted metal breaks
A scene you can relate
Pins pressed into your leg
A valiant heart will never beg
But me and you were something more

I love that the guys' harmonies have more focus in this album; it's a very different balance than Expert In A Dying Field, but I like it! Kirin Martin
