Track 3
Buster Blue - "Sleep Less Where the Heart Is"


I don’t wanna say goodbye
The winds been howling all night
Whisper a lullaby
Lovely moon stay here to night

Magnetic pull straight from the heart
Hold me in your arms
Your gentle glow lights up the dark
Lovely moon why must we part

Can you feel it in your bones
Can you feel it in your soul

Lightning shoots through my veins
Up from my heart to my brain
I hope you'll stay
Lord knows I made my mistakes

I know I must let you go
I'll see you down that road

Track 5
Buster Blue - "Sleep Less Where the Heart Is"

I can hear you in the night
your voice it echos round and round
a crooked grin telling lies
could you quiet down

I've got you under my skin
the walls bend when the lights go out
I feel the madness setting in
that's when you scream and shout

Am I still fast asleep (does the devil have a hold on me?)
won't you just let me be
wake me up

I can hear you in the night
your voice it echos round and round
a crooked grin telling lies
could you quiet down

Am I still fast asleep (does the devil have a hold on me?)
Won't you just let me be
Wake me up

Track 5
Buster Blue - "Sleep Less Where the Heart Is"

Sweetest sounds of agony
carry out an echo through the streets
sleeplessness will slip away
keep it on the outside
fold it into corners of the day

Keep it as the evidence
mangled in position 
you just keep on with a grinning
till someone comes to carry you away...

Calling as the enemy
forcing my way through your doorway
I know that it's lonely company...

Throw away...

Sleeplessness

It’s been said that everything musical has been done before, but Buster Blue has found a place inhabited only by their own off-kilter creation.  The six members utilize an arsenal of instruments that include horns, banjo, accordion, chains, and a well placed bucket.  Their intention to revisit the American musical roots tradition may have much to do with their upbringing in the small town of Gardnerville, Nevada. Buster Blue’s musical educations range from one member being drum major of the high school band to another being a screamer in a hardcore group.  Their diverse backgrounds and upbringings help give color to their music, as well as make it difficult to pigeonhole them to a genre.

 

Buster Blue brings more than music to the stage. Consummate performers, they bring theatrics to their live sets that meld seamlessly to the emotional arc of each of their songs. At times a raucous bar band and at other times a bit musical theater. Anyone attending a live show will surely be taken on one hell of a ride!

 

In January of 2010, Buster Blue set out to record their first full-length album, “When the Silver’s Gone” at Piper’s Opera House in Virginia City, Nevada.  The historic ghost town’s opera house once hosted performers such as John Barrymore, Harry Houdini, and Al Jolson. The Silver rush era Opera House seemed the ideal setting to capture the emotional depth of that particular set of songs. Produced by Zak Girdis and Kevin Bosley, “When the Silver’s Gone” may very well be one of the most ambitious records released in recent years.
