If there's a way I need to find 
How to turn nickels into dimes 
I hope some day you’ll realize
It’s not about when  you arrive
It ain’t no use to wonder why you just gotta live your life
I know my place and bide my time
Yet still it goes
Everyday you love your life and you scrape by hoping somewhere 
Hoping somewhere there’s a light in the big sky

If there's a way I need to find 
How to turn nickels into dimes 
I hope some day you’ll realize
It’s not about when  you arrive
It ain’t no use to wonder why you just gotta live your life
I know my place and bide my time
Everyday you love your life and you scrape by hoping somewhere 
Hoping somewhere there’s a light in the big sky
Days get longer every night in the lonely candlelight
Think of you from time to time

Reside

Send My Love was recorded at Forest Ray's analog home studio in Seattle, WA with a rotating cast of collaborators from other bands across the West Coast and Midwest (Federale, The Shivas, TV Star etc.). It's an homage to folks who have crossed paths with us, and friends who lent a helping hand, though separated by miles and timezones, we still keep them in our thoughts and the song convey’s that sentiment, which for a touring musician, that gratitude is so rarely able to be expressed in person. This is the third single from our upcoming LP. 


Send My Love is twangy mid tempo jam with steel guitar and country bends layered on a bed of synth and fiddle which build up to a crazy horse inspired fuzz solo that crescendo to a final three part harmony that has become a cornerstone of Forest Ray’s recordings.

 It was self-produced entirely analog on a 24 track machine at our studio here in Seattle!

Reasons

Opening track from Forest Ray's 4th full length vinyl LP, Black Pine (Crnobor)

“Black Pine” is the third video single from Forest Ray’s fourth studio album of the same name, “Black Pine”. It was recorded at The Unknown (Croatian American Church) in Anacortes, Washington in a fully analog recording process tracked live to tape. The name Black Pine, is borrowed from the english translation of “Crnobor”, the autochthonous trees of the croatian coastal region, Dalmatia, where songwriter Peter Sumic’s family immigrated from. The trees are a common sight for those spending their days in the rocky coast of coastline and is an especially personal symbol for Sumic.
 
Black Pine digs into a syncopated folk rock groove deliberately and with full force. A bouncing verse cycling around a subtle bar of 7/4, a quiet homage to the complex rhythms of the balkans fit within the lens of psychedelic rock and folk which finally ends, with the well anticipated wailing fuzz solo satisfying tension created from the syncopated groove beneath it.
