'Scenes From A Small Town In Maine' is the new release by Kurt Gunn.  This album was produced and engineered by Paul Hanna.  All songs written by Kurt Gunn (Copyright 2015).  Album released on September 22nd 2015 on Digital, CD, and Limited Edition Vinyl Pressing.

This is a concept album based on the book 'Salem's Lot' by Stephen King.   The book follows a writer named Ben as he returns to Jerusalem’s Lot, Maine where he spent part of his childhood.
Ben travels back there to write a story about a mysterious old mansion in the small town. It’s a spooky old Victorian home where a gangster killed himself and his wife.

The writer makes friends with a high school teacher, falls for a local girl, but soon realizes something much more evil than he expected is present. Vampires put the town under siege, and Ben tries to rally people to fight back as more and more victims are claimed.
It’s a classic tale of good battling evil.

Scenes From A Small Town In Maine, is meant to be played in order, and in its entirety.

UNDERNEATH- Song written by Kurt Gunn.  Produced by Paul Hanna.  Engineered by Branson Sagear.  Vocal-Kurt Gunn : Guitar Acoustic-Kurt Gunn : Guitar Electric-Paul Hanna : Drums-Eric Johnson : Bass-Chris Hanaway : Piano-Alex Drossart

Lyrics:
Made to wake in morning haze, sunshine lays behind
And gently draws out subtle shapes, tracing their outlines
Focus is on memory to hinder the surprise
Wait for break the North she’ll take within her eyes confined

All at once, always, fall back to younger days; pull your weight call her soul
All at once, always, remember further days
Marching to the beat that she called

And it makes no difference where she is you know you are not there
And it makes no difference what you say you know she won’t hear 

And all at once, always, you’ll find the solace chased
Clean from the paths that you wore
And all at once you never knew all the gardens that you grew
Strong through the drought and the flood

And it makes no difference where she is you know you are not there
And it makes no difference what you say you know she won’t hear 

Now you are here, and she is there, and all the space between
Is living proof of contrast; it’s living proof of need
Ice will take to rivers still flowing underneath
Come up for air but no one’s there, you slip back to the deep

And it makes no difference where she is you know you are not there
And it makes no difference what you say you know she won’t hear

NIGHT IS A VILLAIN- Song written by Kurt Gunn.  Recorded and engineered by Paul Hanna.  Vocal-Kurt Gunn : Guitar Acoustic-Kurt Gunn : Guitar Electric-Paul Hanna : Drums-Eric Johnson : Bass-Chris Hanaway

Lyrics:
Baby, where do you want me
Put me down where I don’t take up so much room
Baby, why do you call me
Every night when we are both just drunken fools

And I know I shouldn’t but I do
Every time when it comes to you

Baby, you got me spinning
Like a record that skips right at the end
When we go on pretending
That we are lovers when we both know we’re just friends

And I know I shouldn’t but I do
Every time when it comes to you
And I know I shouldn’t but I do
Every time when it comes to you

Baby, this night is a villain
When we are both left inside it in the end
The small hours, are gonna take me
Up your driveway, through your door, into your bed

And I know I shouldn’t but I do
Every time when it comes to you
Yes I know I shouldn’t, but I’m a God Damn Fool
When it comes to you

Every time when it comes to you





Night Is A Villain

EVERYTHING THAT GOES AROUND- Song written by Kurt Gunn.  Recorded and engineered by Paul Hanna.  Vocal-Kurt Gunn : Guitar Acoustic-Kurt Gunn : Drums-Eric Johnson : Bass-Chris Hanaway

Lyrics:
Come a little closer if you please
Come inside this moment with me
We can find the resolution
If you want it this is where it will be
Open up your mind to these things
Come inside the moment they bring
We can find their evolution
If you want it this is where it begins 

Looking at the pictures you found
Trying to keep your feet on the ground
You can feel the pulling gravity
If you let it it will hold you down

And all these things, it's like we’re seeing for the first time
And what it brings, is clarity, and peace of mind
And what we find is everything that goes around
Is gonna pass our way again

If I hold your love, it better be enough
Don’t let it be cold as hell in my hands
If I hold your love, it better be enough
Don’t let it be cold as hell in my hands

Come inside this moment with me
Clear your mind of all you believed
We can find the absolution
If you want it this is where it begins

And all these things, it's like we’re feeling for the first time
And what it brings, is clarity, and peace of mind
And what we find is everything that goes around
Is gonna pass our way again



Everything That Goes Around

BARE ROOT ROSE- Song written by Kurt Gunn.  Recorded and engineered by Paul Hanna.  Vocal-Kurt Gunn : Guitar Acoustic-Kurt Gunn : Guitar Electric-Paul Hanna : Drums-Eric Johnson : Bass-Chris Hanaway : Backing Vocal-Pual Hanna

Lyrics:
And I loved you, yes I did, like no other
Time and distance, the gravity
When we lost each other
So tell me what it takes to fill your empty space
In these arms of mine
And tell me why I stayed
When a lesser man would’ve run away to hide

You were cleaning out your past
Those stacked up boxes
While I stayed here writing prose out on the page
Now everybody says I’m better off to live 
Without the hurt
I’m just a bare root rose, so come on back
And plant me in your earth

Just plant me in your earth… 
Just plant me in your earth… 

I’m driving down your street of white tract houses
See those black trees silhouette against the grey 
So come on back my way
I’ll try my best to be what you deserve
I’m just a bare root rose, so come on back 
And plant me in your earth

Just plant me in your earth… 
Just plant me in your earth… 
Just plant me in your earth… 
Just plant me in your earth…

And I loved you, yes I did, like no other



Bare Root Rose

ABRAHAM- Song written by Kurt Gunn.  Recorded and engineered by Paul Hanna.  Vocal-Kurt Gunn : Guitar Acoustic-Kurt Gunn : Guitar Electric-Riki Schulz : Drums-Eric Johnson : Bass-Chris Hanaway : Backing Vocal-Amanda Gorbette

Lyrics:
Abraham, alone at night
Pens a letter by candlelight 
Moon spills over the wooden desk
His war has put him to the test

North and South, Blue and Grey, and Black and White
Cannons blast on battlefields where young men die

Lydia Bixby, of Boston Mass
Her five sons fought then returned back
In wooden boxes, aboard a train
She watched them lowered in their graves

North and South, Blue and Grey, and Black and White
Marching drums on battlefields where young men die

Abraham, alone at night
Pens a letter by candlelight
He grieves the woman with words to sooth
Try to ease the pain of ones you loose

North and South, Blue and Grey, and Black and White
Cannons blast on battlefields where young men die
And still Ms Bixby finds herself alone in morning light
What can he say to make that  right?


Abraham

The Teacher-
Kurt Gunn Copyright 2015
Produced and Engineered by Paul Hanna

Lyrics:
The teacher reads his books at night
To ease his worried mind
There’s something going on up there
There’s something here inside
Cause he knows the sounds of his house
Every noise that it makes
An invitation is what they need
An invitation he gave

Quietly up the stairs, avoiding certain treads
Quietly to the door, a hand up to his chest…Oh my God

The teacher makes the sign of the cross
Falling back on the wall
The deathly guest upon him now
Staring at his soul
I revoke now all that I gave
I offer you no more
I will see you sleep with the dead
Teacher that’s for sure

Teacher, sleep with the dead


05. The Teacher

The Boy-
Kurt Gunn Copyright 2015
Produced and Engineered by Paul Hanna

Lyrics:
There in the window
Floating in space
Nails on the glass
White on the face
Is this a dream?
Pinch me awake
Lift up the sash
Invite it into this place

Move cross the floor
Undo up the latch
Dead of this night
The child thing laughs
Hands reaching out
Lips part to kiss
Do something now
Before I become his

That thing around your neck
A symbol faith of it
Raise it up now
Shake yourself awake
I’m dreaming for sure
Cause this can’t be real
And I need to kill
That thing on the hill


04. The Boy

The Undertaker-
Kurt Gunn Copyright 2015
Produced and Engineered by Paul Hanna

Lyrics:
The line of black cars wind
Down Harmony Hill they drive
Until they reach Jointner Ave
Behind the moon she climbs
Now peeking through the pines
Casting light to the gable of the roof

And the Undertaker cries
Dark don’t catch me here tonight

Dirt seeps through the hinges
Feel the gold coins on his eyes
Spading earth and loosing track of time
A heavenly choir of angels sing inside his mind
So beautifully, beautifully sublime

Then he jumps down deep inside
Sweeping dirt from side to side
Dusk falls prey night

He says, What am I doing down here?
Tell me what I’ve done
Still laying here in morning 
Stinging from the sun
He says, why am I still down here?
Dirt cast in my nails
Satin red lays empty
Muscles scream to tell him what’s done is done…


03. The Undertaker

The Girl-
Kurt Gunn Copyright 2015
Produced and Engineered by Paul Hanna

Lyrics-
Susan, the girl in the yellow dress, Susan, laying on a blanket in the park, Oh Susan, book left opened with it's cracked spine, Susan, September found you fine.

Don't go in that house on the hill, there's a bad man waiting, a bad thing there, and if I could have been there that day things would be different, but you went your own way

Susan, down cellar she waits for me, Susan, supine in her dress so fine, with skin like milk is white, lips parted red as wine
Oh Susan

02. The Girl

The Writer-
Kurt Gunn Copyright 2015
Produced and Engineered by Paul Hanna

Lyrics:
And the writer starts to feel it
On the 295 outside of Portland
Will it still be there on the hill?
Staring down upon that town where he left it
All those years ago

Once when he was young
He can close his eyes, and still be there
Heart beating strong with fear
And he can hear that rope still swaying
See the old man’s dying stare 
And all it’s evil

Can he write this out of him?
Is evil born, or become?

So the writer holds this fear
Like a mother holds her baby
Like a rhythm holds a song
Because it needs it.

So why has it brought him here?

Singer/Songwriter from the 30th state of the Union, Wisconsin.

You may not have heard of Kurt Gunn; he's far more interested in writing and performing music than promoting himself. But with three solo albums to his credit, and a nomination for Singer Songwriter of the year by the Wisconsin Area Music Industry, Gunn's fan base has grown steadily, as his talented guitar work, turned phrases, and unique, impassioned songwriting continually garner attention in Green Bay and beyond. Kurt tastefully appropriates whichever styles best accompany his story-songs, capturing crowds whether he's leading a fluid cast of sympathetic musicians, or simply strumming and picking solo. Ultimately, Gunn's ability to lend both gravity and levity to his work -- sometimes within a single song -- is what will stun his listeners for years to come.
