I know I´m fit, but just check me in
Check me in

There´s just some things that a doctor can´t prescribe
I report it´s urgent, so urgent

Do not call, baby, do not call the surgeon
Do not call, baby, do not call the surgeon

Do not pick up, do not pick up
Do not pick up, don´t pick up the phone

I´m fadin´ fast, seein´ stars
I report it´s urgent, I report it´s urgent

They're slowin´ down, sights and sounds
I report it´s urgent, so urgent

Round and around and around the clock
I don´t need a lot
I just need her tender loving care
I just need her there
Intensive Care

Prognosis is grim, this state I´m livin´ in
Diagnosis is clear, I need you here

Need you here, need you here, need ya here, whoa

Do not pick up, do not pick up
Do not pick up, don´t pick up the phone ´cause

You can bring me back to health
You can bring me back to health

Runnin´ on empty that IV drip, whoa, whoa
Runnin´ on empty that IV drip, whoa, whoa

Round and around and around the clock
I don´t need a lot
I just need her tender loving care
I just need her there
Intensive Care

Round and around and around the clock
I don´t need a lot
I just need her tender loving care
I just need her there ohh
Need her there ohh

Need that lovin´
Need that lovin´
Need that lovin´
Need that lovin´
Need that lovin´
Need that lovin´ ohh

Our deepest gratitude to everyone that played on this record. In addition to the band (Andy Beargie, Ned Joyner, Glenn Myers), this music wouldn't have been possible without Zac Canale (lead guitar), Peter Doyle (pedal steel), Ben Fowler (bari sax), Gabe Garber (lead guitar) and Charlotte Wager Miller (vox and clarinet).

We also want to thank our partners, Addie, Charlotte and Julia, for putting up with the disruption brought about by the long days and late nights during which this album was recorded and produced.

We recorded it at Andy's studio—Blockhouse—in Bloomington Indiana. Andy engineered the sessions, and mixed and mastered the album. Ned did most of the comps and edits. All the songs were produced by us.

- The first five songs were all written by Ned.
- "Ballad of Hollis Brown" was written by Bob Dylan.
- "He Was a Friend of Mine" is a traditional song with many songwriter's fingerprints on it. No one knows who wrote the seed. Its first attestation is a field recording by Alan Lomax from 1939.
- "Cello Suite No. 1 in G Major, BWV 1007: I. Prélude" was written by Johann Sebastian Bach
- "Long Black Veil" was written by Danny Dill and Marijohn Wilkin and was first recorded and popularized by Lefty Frizzell

Whiskey Song

Summer 2019

You'll be born upon a concrete floor, upon the blood of those who came before
Tired and weak but here a mother's love will greet you
But she and you will soon be pulled apart, and you'll be all alone, and so it starts
Castrate you and push you into a cage, they'll feed you

Now, you'll never see your mother
Now, you'll never love another
Now, you'll never have the space to run
You've never tasted freedom
You've never set a foot outside
You've never seen the sunshine
You'll never know an open sky
'Cause you were only born to die

Made to grow to twice your natural size, your wasting legs will buckle time to time
And angered that you're slowing down the line, they'll beat you
Tie your legs and hang you from a hook, and send you off without a second look
To slit your throat while you are still alive, they'll bleed you

And with your still-warm corpse upon the block, they'll sharpen up their blades and start to chop
Skin from flesh and flesh from bone will drop, they'll peel you
And dress you up in plastic, so refined, that they'll forget that you were once alive
Then sliced and cooked and made to look sublime, they'll eat you

Now, you'll never see your mother
Now, you'll never love another
Now, you'll never have the space to run
You've never tasted freedom
You've never set a foot outside
You've never seen the sunshine
You'll never know an open sky
'Cause you were only born to die

Born To Die (Demo)

Wait

For two years you dreamed of another room
With no hiding or Wading through a flood of news
Making tea from rain, Laying low for summer
Finding another place, Losing another number

First reader, last page
Did you need a blank slate?


Fall lover, winter enemy. 
Had to shake those days Like amphetamine
High in quiet now. Getting used to it
Being the habit somebody had to quit

First reader, last page
Did you need a blank slate?


No memento In the rewind
Don’t need no eternal sunshine 
Just want to see the other side
Bathed in new, unaware of time

I just want to see the other side
Released anew, back into the tide
Scattering blue through the summer sky
Set free by you, now I’m only mine

Hello, we’re an acoustic rock trio based in Sonoma County, California. If you’re a fan of Wilco, Gillian Welch & David Rawlings, Crowded House, Waxahatchee, Big Thief or Counting Crows, you might dig what we do. 

As singer-songwriter for the band Darrington, Drew Pearce was part of the SF music scene that orbited around the Bazaar Cafe in the early 00s. After releasing the record "Heat Change Vapor + Snow" in 2002, Drew started hosting a house concert series to present indie musicians  in  living rooms and listening spaces around the SF Bay Area. After lockdowns, the series turned into backyard music parties known as the Secret Song Club. 

In 2016, Drew got inspired to record again with the help of musician/producers Jeff Campbell and Gawain Mathews on the track Fight or Flight. In 2022, he recorded an album called Voices from the Satellite with some of his favorite bay area musicians, including Kyle Caprista, Meredith Edgar, Amie Penwell, Francesca Lee, Leah Jones, Lynn Asher, Jason Roberts, Emilie Rohrbach, and Audrey Scout. In 2024, he met Lindsey McFarland through the Hopmonk Sebastopol open mic scene and began performing in Sonoma County venues as the band Late But Ready.

Lindsey McFarland is a soulful singer and acoustic guitarist known for heartfelt performances that blend unique covers with an authentic, personal touch. With a natural talent for reimagining songs and a love for acoustic simplicity, Lindsey thrives on making music a shared experience, whether she's playing solo or jamming with friends.

At just 16 years old, Rio McFarland is already a seasoned bassist with talent and versatility that span genres and styles. From the rhythmic pulse of rock and reggae to the intricate melodies of jazz, classical, and bluegrass music, Rio brings a unique voice to every performance. Starting on bass at the age of 11, Rio quickly fell in love with the instrument’s ability to bridge rhythm and harmony. Inspired by legends across multiple genres and decades, Rio infuses every note with passion and precision, whether playing the electric bass with a driving groove or the upright bass with a warm, resonant tone.
