Sang Silver Bells

So your dads from a small town and his dads from a small town and now you live in a big city and you start to wonder if all the grit that lived at the foot of your family tree for so long has been washed off by your twice a day latte habit and hypo allergenic dogs.  It's only at dawn, waking up for another day, when light starts to break at your cities edge that you realize the roots of it all can never really leave you.

Spare Hymns

Sundress

Meaning to call you
Now five months ago
Singing you Happy Birthday
through the phone
Singing you something
I've been working on
Meaning to call you
Now five months ago

How is the kid
Is she still up all night
How is the new place
Was the move alright
How is the family
Hell nevermind

Cause I thought
The truth would free
An unknown part of me
See you when I see you next
Your brother

Did everyone stay safe
in Idaho
Hey is the winter different
With the snow
My first memories us
In winter clothes

Why I thought
That over time
Maybe one of us would write
Now there's too much distance
To recover
Mailed a letter
Signed it as your brother

Your Brother

Theres dog hair in my coffee
Always floating through the room
And we've been talking about this place
For so long
I just can't believe it's true

And the party was last night
Had an extra one or two
So far it's been a pretty rough morning
But it was worth it
To dance with you

You're the only one
Could make me a believer
Those years I couldn't see it
Love is not alone
Our love is not alone

And as we drove
From California
We were going home

On the road
From California
We were going home

Believer

In The Dark

In the dark
I am nothing
I am yours to find

Take the cloth
Take my wrists babe
Wrap your legs in mine

Showing off
Show me something
You're my fire sign

Every charm
Every sweet phrase
Leaves me mystified

Under covers in the night
Getting better
Got it right

In the dark
I am nothing
I am yours to have

Open doors
Open windows
Play that Curtis track

Wearing nothing but a robe
You just tell me
When you're getting close
Keep going on

Oh
Brought me to my knees
Lay me down
And worship me
Love me til I'm gone
Oh
Make it hard to breathe
Tie me down in satin sheets
Tell me I'm the one

In The Dark

Beaming is a collection of songs shaped from a year of uncertainty and delivered by  songwriter Jon Wilder (aka Boom Years) with an anxious spirit.  "Everybody's trying to make sense of our current situation and how our past has led to the madness that surrounds us.  Finding joy and light right now seems impossible, but I'm reminded daily through the actions of protesters, charity of neighbors and love of friends that hope isn't lost."  These songs mark a turning point for Boom Years, coming from personal events rather than narrative story telling, details gleaned from months of job loss, family strife, dogs in surgery and a move to Portland where the noise of riots and police sirens found their way into the background of songs.  "We'll persist and we'll endure," Jon says, "I'm just trying to keep smiling."

Born in a church and raised by Jesus, a skeptic who saw the light and left the cloth, finding communion through music, proof that life's melody finds resonance in our shared moments.
