about

Another re-recording of a song from our 2nd EP. The song is really intense and just deserved a revisiting. The dynamics are all over the place and the song is complex with beautiful hooks. Written about an encounter with a troubled homeless person who stumbled drunkenly into a place of work and was comforted outside until the next bus came... the conversation... the realization the the seven dollars that was gifted to him was an extravagant "generosity" for the giver, but also just not enough to truly help this person. A realization that to have a home is not something everyone is able to have or hold onto.

lyrics

You're in for a surprise
If you didn't pack your bags tonight
Imagine everything you own is gone
Except for what can be carried
Through heavy cities and Januaries
While told to stay cold, you hear
There's no place like home

Leave The Light On

There's still people waiting
At the airport for your scheduled landing
But you are forever in flight
An eagle's perfect vision
A legend in your own mind
A dead bird stuck in the engine

You'd buy the sunrise
But you think you're gonna die tonight
One Five and Two Ones… add up to none
When you realize the size
Of the mountains that are stacked against you
The free rides and mudslides
Lead to the same jails, and never home

And never remember to remember

Click your heels
There's no place like home
There's no place like home when
NO PLACE IS HOME
