Under the Milky Way

motion - (dandelion demo)

Go to Iceland in the dead of winter and nearly every conversation comes around to discuss their summer. 

On one particular day, drunk on Scotch, with the iPhone set on record to capture my musical explorations, and I truly believed I'd hit on a song to rival one of my gold standards, Bowie's "Heroes".  Vaporized.

Well, the battery died and the memo recording gone forever. I remembered enough of it to put this song to form but it is not the Heroes-level track I'd originally envisioned.

Recording started in the cabin in Kjös, Sundlaugin Studios, Mosfellsbær, Iceland and Perfect Mixes, Brooklyn, NY.

Drums/Percussion - Matt Muir
Engineers - Elisabeth Carlson, Godfrey Diamond

Our Summer (Okkar Sumar)

die with you

it's only rock and roll dust

Cherry Bomb

I see your halo start changing its hue in this lighting
Its pure white’s now tainted with blue and red 
and some violet
I was like you, you seem to remind me
I was like you, you seem to remind me of someone that
I was before, I was before the Blues

I see the green ones waiting in line for their prizes
And all the mean reds they’re Holly-come-lightly’s and frightened
I was like you, you seem to remind me
I was like you, you seem to remind me of someone that
I was before, I was before 
I was before, I was before the Blues

Paint violet with red and blue when you got nothing left to lose
Paint violet with blue and red. It’s every color in your head.
Paint violet with red and blue when you got nothing left to lose
Paint violet with blue and red. It’s every color in your head.

Paint violet with red and blue when you got nothing left to lose
Paint violet with blue and red. It’s every color in your head.
Paint violet with red and blue when you got nothing left to lose
Paint violet with blues and reds. It’s every color in your head.

Now I I was kind of like you, you seem to remind me of someone I was before
But I can’t be that color anymore

The Trip - Dandelion - Silver Demo

This was the last song I wrote for Dandelion. It was about deciding to leave the band. It was the hardest decision of my life, but in the end, we're all happy and healthy and here. now. Other paths would have likely had very different results, at least for me.
Just me on this one.
