10's 11's

I'm walking through the pouring rain to find myself at your house.
I'm strolling in my wholly shoes and they don't keep nothing out.
Out. Out. Out. Out. Out. Out.
I'm stepping through your cellar door,
Light leaks through these floor boards.
One case, ten stairs, to a closet where no ones there.
Then foot steps, so stark. 
To the light from the dark.
To the light from the dark.
To the light.
From the dark, dark, dark.

Sister sister opens the door, She finds me sitting on the floor.
Well I do like you very much and when you hold me the stars do touch.
They touch, on these holidays, these holidays,these holidays, these holidays won't you stay, won't you play, won't you be mine just for the day.

I love you so, so don't let go, Shiloh.
Shiloh, Shiloh.

on these holidays, these holidays,these holidays, these holidays won't you stay, won't you play, won't you be mine just for the day.

Golden Hour

Jane (Sound Off! Audio)

In honor of a full length coming out this spring here's the two tracks that caused this band to be

Graves Stones

Beach Wood

A cover of a song that's always confused and moved me in the strangest way. Hope you dig it

Only Time (Enya)

Whether you're on your way to Mars
or a 70's superstar 
We'd like for our lives to be gold
but they tell us they'll turn out so cold
So aim low, even the moon might be to bold

Because sometimes life gets little bit heavy
Sometimes it's little bit hard
But sometimes if you're lucky 
you have someone to remind you
who you are

Who you are is just who you are
Who you are is just who you are le areeare
Who you are is just who you are, you're a shinning star

Who you are is just who you are




Celestion

In life they say love comes right to you
But what they say, well it's not true
Coming home, with bright stars in the window
You're coming home, I need to be with you

Blue sky, the room is just to tall
Little eyes, don't let tears drops fall
New moon, I need to see you soon
To see you soon, so soon, new moon, I need to see you soon.

& In this life you'll learn fear,
 the sight of love then rear view mirrors 
Coming home, with bright stars in the window
You're coming home, I need to be with you





Flora

Light before dawn
Leave it on and crystal waves will just carry on

The night will scare you
Monsters, creatures too

Hey

I'll say this to you
Nothing is truly from your heart, right from the start 
You've got to pray everyday
You've got learn hot to stay low
So, stay low, so

Cause it's light before dawn
Crystal light and her waves just carry on

Light

Outro

Wander wander say that we'll wander
Far to someplace to blue
With counters on cliffs and 
Crypts on counters
How do I know if it's true?
With a little case of delirium 
You'll see it all and taste it some

Do you really love me?
Do you really love, are times through?
Do you really love me, I do.
With a little case of delirium you'll see it all 
& taste it some

The sunlight in the kitchen, is turning me on
I'm only there for a moment, but time is gone
It's an illusion obtrusion of your delusion, so baby hold on

Do you really love me?
Do you really love me, are times through?
Do you really love me, I do.
With a little case of delirium you'll see it all and taste it some

(sax solo 3 bars)

Do you really love me?


Delirium

Darkness darkness everywhere
In the knee deep shadows in which you stare
So now you're familiar with a killer
A shadow at the equator
A shadow ate the equator 
Equator oh

Well he's a shadow named Jane
To take your life is his claim to fame
Jane, the Shadow don't be sad tho
Your soul will go on 
Your soul will go on

Jane sailed a ship
Yeah he wrote a bit
He wrote the book about how the stars burned out
All claws on deck 
To fight the threat
He's got piss green eyes
Sailing ships demise
Now it's the captains goal to kill them
But kill them slow

Well he's shadow, named Jane
To take your life is his claim to fame
Jane the shadow, don't be sad tho 
Your soul will go on 
Your soul will go on

Your soul will go on


Jane

I got up I went outside
I thought I'd be alright alright

No

I'm sorry I'm so dumb and young
& dumb and young and dumb
But good love is meant for you 
& I'm not, so what else can I do

Honestly honesty is no fun
But you have to do what must be done

I want you to say to say
you'll be alright alright
I want you to scream to scream
It'll be alright alright

No

Oh no

My words go out to sea
They get lost, they ain't no use to me
& church pews gather up the night light
Deep drags leave it only close to right
close to right woah oh oh

& your beauty does condemn 
but I know I am no good for them 
good for them
I'm no good
good 


Could you be the light 
To guide me thru these nights

For I can't see by sight
So you will do what's right
You'll do what's right

Take me to the hall 
We will have a ball
All we'll leave are ashes
Creating what our past is

Sanctions of the blind
to feel just what you find
Sanctions of the blind
to feel just what you find
What you find

Sanctions

So nice to be a, a boy in your bed
Where butterflies, they circle my head
Oh how they shimmer
the Glimmer is gold
A lovely moment, never grows old 

Marzipan 
Marzipan
I wish I had 
I wish I had

So leave your light on
Let it shine on the seas
to keep them company 
cuz your warmth saves me

We watched elephants 
walk straight out the room
What we had was nice 
Mac n' cheese two spoons

Marzipan
Marzipan
I wish I had
I wish I had

I wish I had a heart 
My life won't start
I wish I


Marzipan

If I know myself
I know I'll wait too long
& I know myself
So I guess I'll wait too long
I guess I'll wait a too long 

Set aside the place that you hide 
& run far from your home
Your home where you sit you wait
You emaciate the feeling from your bones
Your bones will grow 2 long
have 3 holes, & be4 long they'll break
just like mold, so cold, so cold 
& 
And if I know myself 
I know I'll wait too long 
& I know myself 
So I guess I'll wait too long


Long luxurious shadows
Come dancing thru your room 
Long luxurious shadows
I presume
&
Long luxurious shadows 
Come drifting by your bed
There's long luxurious in your head 
in your headuh 
in your head

Shadows

Are you lonely?
Or just alone>
Do you have no one call your own?
Could you cherish this memory?
Hold it close to see what it can be
Hold it close to see what we can be

So are you faithful, to yourself?
Are you harmonious, like no one else?
So tell me story, with magic that cool.
Then hold me in the night and
let me stay home from school.
But are you faithful to yourself?
Are you mystical in opinion of wealth?
Could you relish me with an anecdote?
I'll wade to sea.
Could you break my heart with perfect symmetry?
Perfect symmetry 
(door knob squeak)

P.S.

Last night I had a dream,
you'll never guess what I seen.

A spirit, I never fear it oh no.
Transparently green from head to toe.

He had a magic carpet.
Took me for a ride.
We went so far.
we got so high.

Without her you wouldn't know that the stars are gold, 
or have the life in your hands. 
Without stars you couldn't see what you mean to be or be the one in my plan.

It was the ghost of Bazzle Shabazz.
In his palace I realized I was sad.

It was spirit of Ba-a-a-azzle Shabbazz
In his palace I realized I was sad.
So sad.
So sad. 
So sad 

Bazzle Shabazz

Are you there?
I am here
I seek the sight of our golden years
Do I make you proud? 
Did I come to see?
Just what I am and what I can be

I, I need to be proud 
So why I am not now.

I've done wrong

Speak it now, Send the wave. 
I need to hear what you need to say.
The time is now. 
You are me.
Without death it's all history.

I, I need to be proud.
and that's why my mind's so loud.
So loud.
So loud.
So loud.

Say now.

No Nostalgia

It's 1973, so nice to be me
But I could really use a friend
To see me through to the end.
Or should I die alone, stuck inside my home. 
Once you see it all it's known, but would you take my dog & her bone.

In 1974, love was knocking at my door.
I said "come in, sit right down." Her love was all around.
Do you even know what to do?
You sit there staring at your shoes.

Isn't this just my life
Making sound from strife
Could I really be so vain.
then again, life is all a game.

This is just my life?
Or when 84' comes will the pain just fade away
Is it just my life?
Where nothing can change and everything stays the same.

1973 (feat. Ashley & Eli of LAKE)


"Marzipan" is the first single off of Fauna Shade's debut full length Baton Rouge, written about a brief romantic encounter that singer Scotty Smith didn't want to end so soon. Like the song, the encounter started so sweet and easy but somehow perished like that corner plant that just didn't get water and never bloomed.

Fauna Shade is the music and sounds developed by frontman and Everett, Washington native Scotty Smith. Smith, now 21, combines psychedelia and pop sensibility from years spent experimenting, writing and recording tracks in his parents garage, located between the Puget Sound and Cascade Mountains. Joined live by drummer Richie Owen and bassist Derek Johnston, the band draws inspiration from early MGMT, Coco Rosie and T. Rex, while somehow forming a sound uncorrupted and free of pretense. 

This single is the first release from their debut full length Baton Rouge, recorded and co-produced by Jeff Southard at SWOON Studios (Night Beats, Tangerine) in Tacoma, Washington. Baton Rouge is out on April 28, 2015.
