Slowly In The Water off self-titled album available now on iTunes and Spotify.

I tried singing like an angel. Came down with a broken wing.
I fell asleep, passed out in a manger. To feel the rush of what danger brings.
I prefer the devil that is next to me to the one I do not know.
Fall asleep, pass out in a manger. To feel the rush of what danger knows.

Slowly in the water I started breathing. 
All I really needed was something to believe in.

Big mouth, little idea. Tell me who you're working for and I'll tell you who to fear.
It's clear, you can't say nothing out here without some money-grubbing lip in your ear.
The chap stick, the dollar and dinero clan. No lips, the silence of the common man. Who fell asleep, passed out in the manger.

Slowly in the water I started breathing.
All I really need was something to believe in.
The waves subsided as I decided all of me is changing and nothing is divided.

Slowly In The Water

Debut single by Asbury Park, New Jersey's one and only Natalie Farrell. Soul singer-songwriter citing influences from Amy Winehouse, Hayley Williams, and Janis Joplin. "Exhale" is about taking a moment and appreciating the beautiful world around you.

Exhale

This week on the Firehouse Studio Podcast, Chris records his intro in one take using his laptop microphone! More importantly, Chris sits down for a nice, long chat with Duane and Lou of Levy & the Oakes, they talk about their music, the notion of 'Folk', Myspace, the new landscape of music, and more. 

Also featured are three songs: 'D.C. to Daylight' off their self titled album, 'Out of the Blue' off their Acoustic E.P., and then a duo version of Slowly in the Water at the very end. So, that's a lot of really good music, if you ask me.
