Great track !  Fine vocals! Very intense atmosphere.

dark folk / lo-fi / gauzy 
James Bracken cut his teeth as a sideman lending his soulful vibrato and rhythm playing to Ian Hilmer’s Stagefright, an alternative string band from southern MN. The band performed extensively regionally, steadily gaining grassroots momentum circulating live bootlegs but never releasing an album, which ultimately ended the band and each of the members went on to front their own project.  

Several hundred bar gigs later a fortuitous connection with Rochester producer Fires of Denmark led to a productive series of recording sessions documenting Bracken’s expansive catalog and tracking a brand new batch of songs set to be released as Echo Messenger.

Nose in the showcase 
clouding the fate 
 Counting the days,  
it was a long wait  
Sand in the shoes
 There was … no pain.

 Kicking the stones  
To not return home  
Waiting the train  
Just To smash the coin  
Bleeding knees  
All was … a glee

 Those were the days,  
Those were the nights

 Roll the dice 
 Playing Risk 
 Who’s turn is it.
So purify 
 Wonder dreams
 Like a gleam

 Pride in the pinball 
Watch for the thug 
 Moove the machine  
Control the tilt 
 Look for the way  
The green light… is on  

 Those were the days ,  
Those were the nights

 Roll the dice  
Playing Risk  
Who’s turn is it.
So purify 
 Wonder dreams  
Like a gleam 

 For all was the first time.
 First kiss, first broken heart  
The future didn’t exist 
But time run, run fast.

Those were the days (with The Bird Inside and Nick from The Shire Bairn Project)

Nous,
Ne les écrirons jamais
Ces paroles qui nous aiment
Mais qui nous ont menées
Vers un jardin d'ébène
Aux amours végétés
N'y entre que la peine
Que des vœux oubliés
Nous,
Ne nous obligerons jamais
À recouvrir de haine
Nos pas ensoleillés
Autour de l'Aquitaine
Et d'une vierge dorée*
Témoin de nos "Je t'aime"
De nos rêves échangés
Nous,
Ne remplacerons jamais
Au parfum de l'hiver
Tous nos troublants étés
Au devant de la scène
Cet enfant désiré
Qui ne sera la sève
De notre amour vidé
Nous,
Ne les écrirons jamais
Ces paroles qui nous aiment
Mais qui nous ont menées
Vers un jardin d'ébène
Aux amours végétés
N'y entre que la peine
Que des vœux oubliés
Nous,
Ne le deviendrons jamais
Nous,
Ne le deviendrons jamais

We...
We will,
Will never write them
These words that love us
But have led us
To an ebony garden
To vegetated loves
Only sorrow enters
Only forgotten vows
We'll never
Will never make us
To cover with hate
Our sunny steps
Around Aquitaine
And a golden virgin*
Witness to our "I love you" moments
Of our shared dreams
We'll never
Will never replace
To the perfume of winter
All our troubling summers
To the front of the stage
This longed-for child
Who will never be the sap
Of our emptied love
We will,
Will never write
These words that love us
But have led us
To an ebony garden
To vegetated loves
Only sorrow enters
Only forgotten vows
And we,
Will never become
We'll never
Will never become

And I am here now with you
I've come undone again
Every time you are here with me
We roll in pain
Smile again
Any time you are here
Everything's so wonderful
And if I die here tonight
I'd be happy now
I'd be
I'd be
I'd be
I'd be happy now

Happy Now
