For no reason whatsoever I did this remix of a track of ours from 2002.

Astronaut Wife - Late Now (Remix)

Remix of a track from the 3Sides release "Long Way Up, Longer Way Down". http://www.3sidedsingles.com
    

Remix: Christian Erickson - Away Too Long (Lost At Sea Mix)

Compilation of never-properly-released F&F tracks from 2004-2016.

01 Away Too Long

I never gave you much
Never said enough
Never took a breath
I made a mess of what you left

Pulling out the weeds
Spitting out the seeds
Resting in the grass
And calling out for what you need

Yeah
If I could give you something more I'd give it
Take it over, live it
Drown my body in it

Yeah
If I could see the moon come up tonight
I'd fly up to it
Fly up to it, yeah

If you'd had a cause
And told me what it was
I would have backed it
Would have hacked it
Would have died for us

And all the closets closed
All the shoes and clothes
Walking out alone
To find a place to call their own

Cold rain
There was nothing to gain
No price to be paid
On this lonely train

On its own
It was nothing to me
But to prove my love
I would bend my knee

I carry this weight
Ready to die for you
Polishing this gun
Ready to take 
What comes
For me

Sun sets
Time to place my bets
Would I die for the cause?
Will it come to this?

Could you forgive
Give me a chance
To prove my love
For you
My love

And if I live
Will you take me back?
In your arms
In your body
Will you take me back?

I pray
That you take me back
In your arms
In your body
That you take me back

If you won't listen
Then there's nothing to be done
I mean to plead my case

Set out today
To be the savior of the world
But it was not to be
My fate

Christian Erickson - A Promise To The Bandit Queen

Woodland Mall 1981 - The Ashes Of The Witches On The Wings Of The Angels

Press The Green Button was Christian Erickson, Ed Ackerson and Janey Winterbauer - we were commissioned by Microsoft to write a bunch of songs about media technologies and these songs came pre-installed in the original Windows Media Center OS as demo content. Every now and then these tracks pop up on YouTube and people request better quality copies, so I've uploaded newly remaster versions here. Downloads are enabled. 

Enjoy! Enjoy!

Before we broke up the band in 2006, we were working on a second Astronaut Wife album and this was one of the home-recorded demos we made for that record. It was inspired by an infamous proto-fascist speech given by George W. Bush in which he said "you are either with us or against us."

Astronaut Wife - The Shape Of Things To Come (2005 Demo)

This Trail Goes To Nowhere

Sister, have you hit your stride?
Shadows short and windows wide
I see your flowers bloom
I see it from my room

Or maybe in my dream
Petals blowing in the breeze
Up above and down below
And back to earth we go

White tree
When are you gonna come for me?
I see you change in Spring
When will you change everything?
 
White tree
The grass is green the sky is blue
Like it will always be
When I’m with you
When I’m with you

I hear the sound you make
Reaching up and open-faced
Always looking to the sky
And never asking why

And if I feel afraid
Can I find shelter in your shade?
Will you believe in me?
Will you be there for me?

And when you've left your mark?
And when you've borne your fruit?
When time is running out
What are you gonna do?

Can you imagine it?
What you see is what you get
Do what’s wrong, do what’s right
Whatever lets you sleep at night


White Tree

When I broke apart and scattered
Like the colors of the trees
The quiet filled the spaces
In between the leaves
Took me back to where we came from
Back to when we loved
When I loved
When I loved you

Silver light is bending 
Through the greenhouse walls 
Everything is ending 
Everything dissolves 
Somewhere I can't follow 
Something I can't name 
Back to when I loved you
And you feel the same
Do you feel the same?

Am I going blind?
Or are you just that hard to find?
Will you find me
Find me
Find me
Find me

My dreams are tangled
In the bedsheets
In the morning haze
Like a maze
Like an outline of our best days
Where is the truth
Between the white lies and omissions
The conditions never laid out
Never paid out

Was it the light
Playing tricks on my eyes
Something beautiful
Something alive
Was it the light
The light

The Conservatory, Where I Wanted To Be Found

I saw you in the rose
The thorn
The poison leaf
The coming storm

The aftermath
The walking path
Impermanence
A broken fence

I crossed the street
To find the lake
To find the water
Find a place

Reflected in a pool of gray
Another broken day

The man with the camera
Is in my way
My thoughts on film
Don't fade 
Don't fade away

The man with the camera
Is in my way
My thoughts on film
Won't let me run away

The waves are racing 
To the shore
The sinking boats
The closing door

The water's edge
A pledge I never made
I never
Wanted more

I never wanted
Wanted
I never wanted
Wanted
I never wanted
Wanted

The Rose Garden, Where I Went To Forget

It was 
Plain
Plain to see
That you and me
Were on the path to nowhere

When we
Walked
Along the way
Something between us
Began to fade

The birds
They were singing to me
Telling me all about 
How it had to be

And the sun
Came down to say
You never needed me
Anyway

Time is wasting
Who's gonna say it?
Don't everyone talk at once 
Don't everyone talk at once

When the truth
Finally broke through
And I said goodbye
To you

And you
Said the same to me
Everyone knew
What it had to be

Did I wait too long to say it
Did I wait too long to say it
