I'm so tired of working every day
Now the weekend's come I'm gonna throw my troubles away
If you've got the cab fare, mister, you'll do all right
I want to see the bright lights tonight

Meet me at the station, don't be late
I need to spend some money and it just won't wait
Take me to the dance and hold me tight
I want to see the bright lights tonight

There's crazy people running all over town
There's a silver band just marching up and down
The wide boys are all spoiling for a fight
I want to see the bright lights tonight

Meet me at the station, don't be late
I need to spend some money and it just won't wait
Take me to the dance and hold me tight
I want to see the bright lights tonight

A couple of drunken nights rolling on the floor
Is just the kind of mess that I'm looking for
I'm gonna dream till Monday comes in sight
I want to see the bright lights tonight

Meet me at the station, don't be late
I need to spend some money and it just won't wait
Take me to the dance and hold me tight
I want to see the bright lights tonight

Take me to the dance and hold me tight
I want to see the bright lights tonight

What You Think (Demo)

I recorded this back in 2020 right as the pandemic was starting up. The intention was to use it to promote my online streaming shows I was doing at the time, but then I lost it...or something. I don't know, it was a wild year. Anyways, I found it and did some updated mixing, but left it pretty much as it stood..without mastering. Hope you enjoy it. I STAN ACE OF BASE! :)

When The World Turns Grey

Portland’s own Casey Neill & the Norway Rats have released a new single, their take on PJ Harvey’s “The Sky Lit Up”.   The track is available for streaming and free download here, and will also be on the Rats’ forthcoming 12” vinyl EP in September.  


"PJ Harvey's music always sounds uncompromising and hungry for perfectly broken sounds. She manages politics with out being didactic, romance without being sentimental, writes songs that are beautiful and still feral. 'Sky Lit Up' is like a mini-movie you watch in your head." - Casey Neill

The first single from Mates of State's forthcoming release "You're Going To Make It".  Available June 16, 2015 on Barsuk Records in North America and June 15, 2015 in Europe/UK on Fierce Panda.

Brain Crack(Feat: Kathryn Calder) - Tracy Bonham

Howard Louis comes armed with powerful vocals and a piano. He fuses sounds of rock, alternative, pop, and even flavors of show tunes in his catalog of songs. His honest lyrics are perceptive, biting, self-deprecating, and naked. All of these qualities are crafted over melodic soundscapes that are sometimes dark, sometimes quirky, and sometimes raw and beautiful.
