This Way

Major Murphy follows up their debut long play No. 1 with a set of bedroom recordings archiving a time when Jacob Bullard was discovering his voice as a songwriter and the band was finding their footing within that space. Named after the house in Grand Rapids, MI that many of these songs were written and recorded in, The Lafayette EP chronicles a liminal space as the project transitioned from a stripped-down, solo project toward a three-piece rock band. The porches and walls of this house on Lafayette Avenue was a natural space for creativity and collaboration, a space where the band recorded early versions of Major Murphy standards that would eventually be taken into the studio.

On "No. 1 (Lafayette Version)" Bullard and drummer, Bud Voortman, jam for the first time what would become the title track of their debut record. “When I Go Out (Cookie Crumb Version)” features textures and instrumentation that differ from the album version. Here Jacki Warren can be heard providing an enchanting harmony, which became a common thread throughout No. 1. With "Come By Sunday" Bullard writes an open-hearted expression of affection that is nostalgic as much as it is forward-thinking. Listening to these tracks is almost like walking past the Lafayette house on a breezy Fall morning, hearing the songs spilling out the windows and down the street. Venture to peer through a window and you just might catch a glimpse of the magic.

I think I’d maybe feel alright 
If I could just hang out all night
With you 
When we first met out in the streets
That’s when my life first felt complete 
It’s true

Forever thankful that I went
To the movies on that fateful
Day
I think of all the fun we’ll have
Together before all our time
Is spent

The Movies (feat. Pecas & William Corduroy)

Long Way to Go

that's love,
it comes from up above
but that's why
i cannot fall in love
it's hard to even think about you all i think about is love

cause when we go out i can't breathe when i think about you
love is so hard it's a shame but i'm thinkin bout you
cause when we're all alone it feels like fuckin heaven 

if love was like a flower bloomin
i hope it dies in fuckin june
cause summer time 
is where i find out all i think about is love

If Love Was Like a Flower

When you wake up, 
Would you make some time for us?
To be waiting 
Is frustrating when I know it was 
So good.

I’m not erasing the time we’ve taken,
We just couldn’t get enough.
(It’s there but it’s all covered up)
So if we’re finding out 
That it’s not sticking around,
That it’s all done and dried up…

Did I get an invitation 
For all this pressure accumulating?
Was I underestimating 
The whole equation again?

It doesn’t have to be for…
It doesn’t have to be for…
It doesn’t have to be forever.

Could we make it up?
Or are we out of luck?
Just had enough 
Of this occasional love,
And now we’re out of trust.


Did I get an invitation 
For all this pressure accumulating?
Was I underestimating 
The whole equation again?

So if we’re finding out 
That it’s not sticking around,
There’s always another way out.
To realise it now,
That love gets lost and found.
This much I know,
All things can grow
When you leave them in the ground.

It doesn’t have to be for…
It doesn’t have to be for…
It doesn’t have to be forever.

Long Way to Go
