this song makes me feel like I'm on the coast of oregon.

& like the world is happy safe and no pain, just love.   a purple Mazda rx7 sunroof my man beside me, hair flowing and smiles a mile wide eyes full of light. night sky stars bright and warm.

“A Good Person” brought me here! The movie soundtrack is so good!

Very nice melody and I like you high tenor voice

Not a Good Judge, the first single from our upcoming album We’re Trying Our Best is about getting out of your own way when you don’t believe you deserve the best. Lead singer/songwriter Joy Deyo: “Not a Good Judge is about pushing past doubt, even when it’s your own. Sometimes you have to put anxiety in its place. It’s about listening to past or future versions of yourself that had or will have more faith in your abilities than you have in the moment.”

Not A Good Judge

Lyrics:
Tearing apart the cracks in your mind
A light keeper’s song in the tide
A man on a screen performs the obscene 
Edges are coming undone
Pulled along

Waking alone
Sightless, unseen
Your hollow inside
Stuffed like a straw man
Hiding his eyes at the edge of the world
From what the inferno will bring

Empty inner vision
Threading a broken design
Helpless are the hands that guide you 
Waters are breaking
Why does it break me in?

Always around in the air that we breath 
Choked by the sands
When will the rains come?
Flooding the stage at the edge of the world 
Blood in the eyes of a king
Waking alone at your hour of need
Pray to a stone your stuffed like a straw man 
Hiding his eyes as the hour arrives
Shedding your crow-skin disguise

Empty inner vision
Drowning the song in the tide 
Helpless are the hands that guide you 
Waters are breaking
Why does it break me?

Empty inner vision
Threading a broken design
Helpless are the hands that guide you 
Waters are breaking
Why does it break me in?

Holding On

This song is the first song Danny and I truly finished together since I moved back to OKC. We sat on my Mesta Park quadplex balcony one hot day and started strumming this summery guitar part. At one point, I said, "we need a really Beach Boys-esque melody here" and Danny just started singing "Barbara Ann" which actually became the vocal rhythm of the song. 

The song felt like it was going to be a pretty clean surfy continuation of Golden Year, but then Tom Bishop suggested we should cover Devo's "Uncontrollable Urge." While practicing for NMF we would go into these poorly executed takes of the song and ended up shelving the idea. However, I think Devo made its way into this song - the drum beats, synths, and pre-verse turnaround have a Mark Mothersbaugh-type vibe that I dig. Zach Zeller came over for about twenty minutes and added some of the best parts of the song - the bass line, the guitar solo, and the synth hook all came from the twenty minutes he came by.

Lastly, the lyrics for "Neuromancer" are loosely inspired by William Gibson's book of the same title. That's all the references to VR cowboys and stuff. These are some of my favorite lyrics we've ever written.

LYRICS:
meatspace dandy blowin in the wind
cowboy 2.0 night dreamin
VR boys fly fast as you can
get around, get around, hip to your man

oh my lands, there goes another one
slip some green, gift in the minibar
cheap hotel next to stadium
all bout bout, all bout the benjamins

deadbeat dad, digital family
don't be sad, it's just reality

boss level girl, think she's the one
holograph card, first edition
spin your head to see her face
wondering how her chapstick tastes

deadbeat mom, digital family
CD-ROM, that's just reality

deadbeat kids, all in the family
flip your lids, it's just reality
deadbeat dad, digital family
don't be sad, it's just reality


Neuromancer

Lyrics
In my mind it's all the way things were
I remember how the family heard
they told them everything in the house had burned
and all that's left will slowly fade to the earth
In my mind it's all the way things were
I remember how the family heard
And every night the fearful dreams emerge
she takes her shelter like a flightless bird
A life worth living? “I don’t know”
a wolf gone hiding in the snow
a love worth killing just to show
just what it is to let it go
just what it is to let him go
In my mind it's all the way things were
I remember how the family heard
they told them everything in the house had burned
and all that's left will slowly fade to the earth
she lay down with him there for weeks
she heard his body start to creak
and when he turned to her to speak
that’s when he knew his time had peaked
that’s when he knew their time had peaked
In my mind it's all the way things were
I remember how the family heard
they told them everything in the house had burned
and all that's left will slowly fade to the earth
In my mind it's all the way things were
I remember how the family heard
And every night the fearful dreams emerge
she takes her shelter like a flightless bird

You can't miss it. First thing you see in Yukon, Oklahoma is the water tower that proudly reads "YUKON: HOME OF GARTH BROOKS." Danny grew up in this smallish town, cruising Garth Brooks Boulevard, aka, Main Street, USA. This song's about living in the shadow of greatness, transcending the small-town mindset, and the sensation of cruising the main drag and feeling mixed emotions of nostalgia, joy, ennui. Roll down the windows: here's "Garth," your sweetly melancholy homecoming late-summer jam.
