Good Grief Live at The Wire 2010

“A visceral, high-energy, rock journey through the television set and media consumption with catchy and poignant lyrics about what apathy and self responsibility means in the age of unlimited information.”- from CDBaby publishing partners site. 

	Hollow Cause marks the return of Indie-Alt Rock Veterans Castle Pines, after a 2 year hiatus from music releases.  The song grabs the listener in a driving and abrupt guitar line that harkens back to early 90’s shoe-gaze and grunge with the accessibility and straight forwardness only Castle Pines can convey.  The music is a landscape of shrill and echoing rhythmic patterns that create a “setting-sun” backdrop to a lost generation caught amidst the “in between”.  A generation of wandering and scattered lives that met tragedy and heartbreak head on with the chaotic benchmarks of 9/11, Columbine, the Iraq War, the great Recession, and the revolution of the internet and social media.  The crescendo of the bands playing is a roller coaster of sound that soars through subtle melody and aggressive exhortation.  Hollow Cause is the first single from Castle Pines in 2016, and it stands as a testament to the bands own musical path and work with intertwining time signatures and pulsing playing.   
	Lyrically, Hollow Cause moves between pensive self examination in a narrative that is told through the collective thoughts of the world.  The lines “I’m alone in Everything” and “How do you feel” give the, seemingly, insurmountable feelings of apathy and indifference a sense of hope in the bleakness that individuals may face.  Hollow Cause is indeed a play on words, recollecting back to the historical events of World War II and the “Holocaust”, the title is a literal juxtaposition scheme between the evils of apartheid and the collective human experience of feeling alone and helpless to do anything.  Hollow Cause is a commentary on personal responsibility and the indemnification society partakes in, as a majority, when tragedy and calamity occur.  Hollow Cause by Castle Pines demonstrates a sound and songwriting style that is mature, thoughtful and seeking meaning through the questions the recording itself employ.

Good Grief

MOONSHINE
Intro: 
Bless this house on a hill my love, 
on a hill my love,
on a hill 	X3
Verse 1:
When the sun is all arriving, I will be right there
In the time when you are mourning,
 even when your dead
Verse 2:
And these are things we say together, in all our time.  
Once you go, it’ll never be better
even in your mind.  
Pre-chorus:
I know, I know
I know it’s all in my mind
I know, I know
It’s one for the time
It’s time we leave our bodies again
Just one more time

Chorus:
I can’t go cuz’ my feet to slow
didn't you mind?
I can’t go cuz’ my feet to slow
didn't you mind?
It’s in my body, it’s in my mind
I can’t go cuz’ my feet to slow
didn't you mind?
I can’t go cuz’ my feet to slow
didn't you mind?
It’s in my body, it’s in my mind
Verse 3:
One to say, it’s all ok, it will be right there
Just put your arms around my waist 
We’ll figure out somehow 
And once you go, it’s all ok
I will be right there
All we see is all we are 
We’ll figure out somehow
Pre Chorus:
I know, I know
I know it’s all in my mind
I know, I know
It’s one for the time
It’s time we leave our bodies again
Just one more time
Chorus:
I can’t go cuz’ my feet to slow
didn't you mind?
I can’t go cuz’ my feet to slow
didn't you mind?
It’s in my body, it’s in my mind

Do Not Disturb

Bubbly

I eat what’s dead and kill for fun
And take what’s left to the helpless ones
I used to dream imagine we could be much more

But I want poppies on my tombstone

View life with sweet irony
Any misfortune will turn indeed
Any decision is laced with greed
Any confusion will not mislead
You can’t see the forest from the trees

I’m Edgar Allen Poe and I’m drowning in a birdbath
I’m grasping for a candle to burn down the world
I’m dying Dionysus
I’m Judas with no silver
I’m Edgar Allen Poe and I’ll never be free

But I want poppies on my tombstone

i want poppies on my tombstone
