SUBLIMINAL SEDUCTION

IT'S IN THE SLOE GIN AND THE ICE CUBES
IT'S IN THE X THAT'S ALWAYS SEX
IN THE ANACONDA SHADOW
IN THE PEARLS AROUND HER NECK
DON'T KNOW WHY MY HEART IS RACING
MAYBE I'M UNDER A SPELL

SUBLIMININAL SEDUCTION

THE BROKEN SMOKE RING IS A WOMAN
(CRIMINAL)
A NAKED BEAUTY IN SILHOUETTE
(SUBLIMINAL)
JUST A BELLY DANCING DEMON
(CRIMINAL)
IN A MENTHOL CIGARETTE
AND SUDDENLY I THINK I LOVE YOU
I FEEL SO FRIGHTENED AND ALIVE

FROM YOUR SUBLIMINAL SEDUCTION
YOUR SUBLIMINAL SEDUCTION

TURN THE PAGE TO A SMOOTH BLACK VELVET
I'LL SWALLOW ANYTHING THAT YOU SELL
OH YEAH

TO ALL THOSE FADED ATTIC MAGAZINES
THAT TAUGHT YOU EVERYTHING YOU KNOW
ABOUT SUBLIMINAL SEDUCTION....

Adventure of a Lifetime

LIGHT YEARS AWAY

WHEN THE RAIN IS SUMMER
ON FIELDS LEFT FAR BEHIND
AND THE PAST IS SOMEWHERE
BURIED FROM YOUR MIND
IN THIS MOMENT THERE'S NOTHING BUT YOU

AND IT COULD BE THE END
OR THE START OF EVERYTHING
UNIVERSE IN YOUR EYES
A SEA INSIDE OF ME
MOVING CLOSER TO A CANVAS OF BLUE

WHERE WE FLY ABOVE THE YEARS
AND LAUGH AWAY THE FEARS
REACHING THROUGH THE NIGHT OF DAY
TO BE LIGHT YEARS AWAY

WE'LL PASS ANDROMEDA
PASS THE SUNFLOWER
WHERE LOVE IS FORTUNE
AND KINDNESS IS POWER
AND YOU'LL KNOW THAT FOREVER I'M YOURS

(LOVE BINARY SUPER HIGHWAY)
(PARALLACTICAL MOONLIGHT FLYWAY)
(LOVE ETERNAL SHOW US THE WAY)

SOMEWHERE IN THE STARS THEY KNOW IT
SOMEWHERE IN THE LIGHT THEY SEE
LIFE WAS ONLY MADE TO LOVE IT
AND TO LET WHATEVER BE...

Light Years Away

ABOUT SEAN WATERS & THE SUNRISE GENIUS
Sean Waters, raised by northern Colorado hippies, was a child of both compassion and alcoholism: and both these threads come through in his debut single “Easy Graces,” which he recorded in Los Angeles with Justin Andres, the live music director and bassist for rock-and-roll hall-of-famer Justin Andres. Masterfully produced by Andres, “Easy Graces,” infuses Waters chill and ruminative Colorado americana with a kind of indie-pop edge of L.A. alt-rock. The lyricics nod to both Bob Dylan and Tom Petty; the groovy, indie-folk ambient rock soundscape nods to Father John Misty, Hiss Golden Messenger, and the softer rock of Cage the Elephant.

LYRICS:
Tears fallin’ down her cheeks like rain
Glistening stars on fifth and main
She said it’s easier to call her Mary Jane
Looking for a life that she might tame

I don’t want to go out chasing different times and different faces
She kept going back to places where she could find easy graces and
Fell from the height she found alone, got to that place you find you’re gone
Said keep your empire gone for love, I’m gone for your love

... 
She keeps her shadow as long as she can bear
Street lights shining down upon her hair
Hides her suffering, buys her pink champagne
Promises down like paper planes
Yeah she goes keeps a little piece of myself
Droppin’ petals in her wine for no one else

I don’t want to go out chasing different times and different faces
She kept going back to places where she could find easy graces and
Fell from the height she found alone, got to that place you find you’re gone
Said keep your empire, gone for love, I’m gone for your love
Get to get it on, get to get it on, get to get it on, get to get it on

Come on and stay forever
Won’t fade away, we’ll never
Stand down the ways, shine on together
As poet’s pray

There we were on the night we start to play
Never mind choosing different ways
Fuse blown in the fields of sugar cane
She knows I loved her all the same

Easy Graces EP

Easy Graces

An emotional journey into the tragic moments of realization that you carelessly let go of the love of your life. 
Words and Music by Henry Lees and Sean Thomas

Change is the only thing that doesn't
And I did the only thing I shouldn't
I closed the door and let you walk away
You walked away
Now, I'm all alone again
Just me and all this oxygen
But breathing seems impossible today

I LET GO OF MY ONLY ONE
MY UNIVERSE, MY MORNING SUN
I COULDN'T FIND THE WORDS TO SAY I'M SORRY
I LET GO OF THE CHANCE WE HAD
COULDN'T FIND MY WAY THROUGH THE BAD TO YOU
NOW I'VE GOT NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE
I'VE GOT NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE

Love's never something you should gamble
Yours was never something I could handle
I closed my heart and made you the blame
I made you the blame
Now, I'm holding on to a thread 
that's tied to an empty bed
Oh, I'm missing you every night and day

I LET GO OF MY ONLY ONE
MY UNIVERSE, MY MORNING SUN
I COULDN'T FIND THE WORDS TO SAY I'M SORRY
I LET GO OF THE CHANCE WE HAD
COULDN'T FIND MY WAY THROUGH THE BAD TO YOU
NOW I'VE GOT NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE

Nothing left inside
Nowhere I can hide
No way out of this prison in my mind
I want nothing more
Than what we were before
When you and I had nothing but time

I LET GO OF MY ONLY ONE
MY UNIVERSE, MY MORNING SUN
I COULDN'T FIND THE WORDS TO SAY I'M SORRY
I LET GO OF THE CHANCE WE HAD
COULDN'T FIND MY WAY THROUGH THE BAD TO YOU
NOW I'VE GOT NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE
NOW I'VE GOT NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE

Nothing Left To Lose

A relaxing listen, a compilation of songs through my aging. Arranged, produced and performed by me. Except drums, bass and guitar.

Easy Way

when day comes we ask ourselves where can we find light in this never-ending shade? The loss we carry asea we must wade. We’ve braved the belly of the beast. We’ve learned that quiet isn’t always peace. In the norms and notions of what just is isn’t always justice. And yet, the dawn is ours before we knew it. Somehow we do it. Somehow we’ve weathered and witnessed a nation that isn’t broken, but simply unfinished. We, the successors of a country and a time where a skinny black girl descended from slaves and raised by a single mother can dream of becoming president only to find herself reciting for one.

Amanda Gorman: (01:10)
And yes, we are far from polished, far from pristine, but that doesn’t mean we are striving to form a union that is perfect. We are striving to forge our union with purpose. To compose a country committed to all cultures, colors, characters, and conditions of man. And so we lift our gazes not to what stands between us, but what stands before us. We close the divide because we know to put our future first, we must first put our differences aside. We lay down our arms so we can reach out our arms to one another. We seek harm to none and harmony for all. Let the globe, if nothing else, say this is true. That even as we grieved, we grew. That even as we hurt, we hoped. That even as we tired, we tried that will forever be tied together victorious. Not because we will never again know defeat, but because we will never again sow division.
Amanda Gorman: (02:22)

Scripture tells us to envision that everyone shall sit under their own vine and fig tree and no one shall make them afraid. If we’re to live up to her own time, then victory won’t lie in the blade, but in all the bridges we’ve made. That is the promise to glade, the hill we climb if only we dare. It’s because being American is more than a pride we inherit. It’s the past we step into and how we repair it. We’ve seen a forest that would shatter our nation rather than share it. Would destroy our country if it meant delaying democracy. This effort very nearly succeeded.
Amanda Gorman: (03:07)

But while democracy can be periodically delayed, it can never be permanently defeated. In this truth, in this faith we trust for while we have our eyes on the future, history has its eyes on us. This is the era of just redemption. We feared it at its inception. We did not feel prepared to be the heirs of such a terrifying hour, but within it, we found the power to author a new chapter, to offer hope and laughter to ourselves so while once we asked, how could we possibly prevail over catastrophe? Now we assert, how could catastrophe possibly prevail over us?
Amanda Gorman: (03:56)

We will not march back to what was, but move to what shall be a country that is bruised, but whole, benevolent, but bold, fierce, and free. We will not be turned around or interrupted by intimidation because we know our inaction and inertia will be the inheritance of the next generation. Our blunders become their burdens. But one thing is certain, if we merge mercy with might and might with right, then love becomes our legacy and change our children’s birthright.
Amanda Gorman: (04:36)  

So let us leave behind a country better than one we were left with. Every breath from my bronze-pounded chest we will raise this wounded world into a wondrous one. We will rise from the gold-limbed hills of the West. We will rise from the wind-swept Northeast where our forefathers first realized revolution. We will rise from the Lake Rim cities of the Midwestern states. We will rise from the sun-baked South. We will rebuild, reconcile and recover in every known nook of our nation, in every corner called our country our people diverse and beautiful will emerge battered and beautiful. When day comes, we step out of the shade aflame and unafraid. The new dawn blooms as we free it. For there is always light. If only we’re brave enough to see it. If only we’re brave enough to be it.

You're All I Really Wanna Do

Headlines riot in the wind
A mad world on a firing pin
Come whatever, we will never live in this moment again
So let 'em scream and let 'em shout
Can't run but we can tune 'em out
Cause we've got better, and love is forever
And you're all I really wanna do

Fear is the sound that they sell by the pound
Never short on supply and demand's record high

Shadows dancing on a wall
With a war to benefit us all
But we know better
And they'll fight forever
And you're all I really wanna do

So let's celebrate and stay out until late
We've got nothing but time left and no time to waste

Take my hand and hold it tight
For I promise you tonight
Come whatever we'll stick together
Cause you're all I really wanna do
Yeah you're all I really wanna do
