Do Not Drink This Holiday Cheer, Vol. VIII

Four Vignettes: "False Hope"

Heavily influenced by and humbly dedicated to the aural essences of: The Alan Parsons Project, and King Crimson.

lyrics
Inside you wait
For a sign
The kindling’s set
The match is late

Some indication
Of danger
An ember only wants
An invitation

Strike while you can
You know where we stand
Strike anywhere
Strike anywhere

Four Vignettes: "False Spring"

Based on a true story

lyrics
Dear Jesse, ‘tis the season
And I swear your gift is in the mail
You deserve more than a card can say
But I’m writing this message anyway

Dear Jesse, ‘tis the season
And I promised your gift would arrive
And I know this letter won’t suffice
If you threw it away, you would be right

‘Tis the season and I love you
And I’m thinking of you every year
You deserve more than something sweet, you say
But I’m baking these cookies anyway

Keep one eye on the front porch
And we’ll wait for the time when a gift arrives
Maybe it’ll get here while you’re on the slopes
If not, you’ve got this card (I hope)

Dear Jesse, ‘tis the season
And your gift was lost in transit
I hope this letter will suffice for now
This isn’t how I’d planned it

Dear Jesse ('tis the Season)

Lime Colony formed in 2006 in the San Francisco Bay Area when Earl Kramer wrote a song for his toddler (“Maisy, You’re Going To Get Burned”), and Tim Garcia sang a harmony. 

Originally a folk-rock duo, Lime Colony grew into a rock band, shrank, and grew anew. They still play (sometimes). The band is a homespun outfit blending sweet harmonies, addicting hooks, and a bit of old country noir.

Lime Colony has released a self-titled full-length, Lime Colony (2010); since then, they have stuffed their SoundCloud with several unreleased, semi-annual, winter-themed volumes of singles: the Do Not Drink This Holiday Cheer volumes.
