cello on "Another One" by Michael Gilbert Ronstadt

Another One

A song that tries to make sense of life by treating it as the set of a movie, or a play - or even a dream sequence. But which is life, and which is the dream? And are we awake? How do we know?

Too many questions. Best to just sing along. 

NOTE: 100% NO AUTOTUNE/MELODYNE/PITCH CORRECTION EVER. We never, ever use any type of auto-tune or even minor pitch corrections or filters. What you hear is what we sang/played, always. We're humans.

DREAM SEQUENCE

In the dark, eager crowds gather and wait down below
They hit their mark thinking they'd rather be part of some other show	
Still they're asking for more
How can they dance when I haven't yet finished the score

Now we enter the scene, here comes the big reveal and	
It was all just a dream, oh but it feels more real than
La, la da da da, la da da da...	

Every line carefully crafted with passion and rage
But every time the actors take over they stray so far from the page
And the story falls apart
Why even try when you can't tell the lie from the art?

Now we enter the scene, here comes the big reveal and	
It was all just a dream, oh but it feels more real than
La, la da da da, la da da da...	

Isn't it strange, everything changes with just a single word	
Motivations double back reality is blurred
Lights fill your eyes and the script is revised and the 
     truth remains concealed 
But this is no dream, I swear, I swear this is real

And the story falls apart
Made up as we go but somehow we still know it by heart

All is quiet on the set, one sound could break the spell and
Here's another vignette, One that I'll never tell and
Now we enter the scene, here comes the big reveal and	
It was all just a dream, oh but it feels more real than
La, la da da da, la da da da...

Summer storm pounds on the roof above
A song of tin with a low constant drum
Take a step outside to feel the cool breeze
As water slides down shining wet leaves

Like a mother’s hum that puts me to sleep
Or a storm in the night to awaken the deep
It envelopes my being and invites me to sing
To be a part of the group, the ensemble of rain

If we all fall together, are we really apart?
Different sizes and shapes singing songs from the heart 
And we’ll watch the world turn like rain that never stops
Made of the same water, though we’re all different drops

I stand alone but surrounded
Voices all around me
Connected across time
Past and present entwined

Old book turned to a new page
Tells an ancient story with a different spin
The earth rotates; choose love or hate
We must make every new day count

Disco Biscuits

HOT BREAKFAST! is Delaware’s premier acoustic dork-rock power duo. Based in Wilmington, Delaware, this well-traveled, entertaining duo features Jill Knapp’s award-winning powerhouse vocals, Matt Casarino’s award-winning songwriting and furious acoustic guitar work, and a rockin’, fun, dorky, often hilarious live show. They’ve won over audiences all across North America with their playful, inclusive, and compelling approach to music, an approach that makes them equally comfortable at huge festivals (SXSW 2014-2016, Flipside 2012, Burning Man 2011, 2018), large punk and rockabilly venues like the Trocadero in Philly and Slim’s in San Francisco (where they’ve shared the stage with The Dead Milkmen), folk clubs, coffeehouses, and intimate house concerts. 

Original tracks from their self-titled EP (2012’s “Hot Breakfast!”) and their full-length albums (2015’s The Big Reveal & 2013’s 39 Summers) continue to enjoy radio play around the world on terrestrial, internet, and even satellite stations – they’ve even had songs featured on Little Steven’s Underground Garage (“Underground”) and the Dr. Demento Show (“Hole in Your Pants”). They’ve got several awards on their shelves (WSTW Homey Awards for Best Live Act (two years in a row!), Best Songwriter, Best Lead Singer (twice!), Best EP, & Best Collaboration (twice!), and they were second runner-up in 2014’s Best of World Cafe Live’s Philly Rising competition, out of hundreds of musicians. Plus, they’ve logged many thousands of tour miles since their official formation in 2010, and they have no plans to stop now. After a Hot Breakfast! show, what is left of your melted face will be smiling. Dork’s honor.
