LOVE LOVE is a Boston Indie roots rock band.  Chris Toppin of Fuzzy and Jefferson Davis Riordan formed the band fall of 2013 and have been recording a full-length album they hope to release in the fall of 2014. 

Chris sang this one for Jefferson and he thought, "This is really dreamy. Beautiful." He still thinks that. It is one of the first songs in the band's repertoire.

Lyrics:
You tried to call me on the phone 
you stood in line today for a bus ticket 
but you could not go through with it 

you say your leaving wasn’t planned 
but I could hear it in your voice and your goodbye 
that you were leaving 

take me where you’re going 
cuz I would go with you anywhere 
I want to see the wide open skies before us for miles and miles 
and we’ll listen to pink moon 
as we go 

I know how much you hate the fall 
always holding on so tight to summer’s last hurrah 
Never letting go 

and it’s been clear since we’ve been friends 
what we won’t talk about 
I’m sorry now for all that’s 
never been said 

take me where you’re going 
cuz I would go with you anywhere 
I want to see the wide open skies before us for miles and miles 
and we’ll listen to Harvest Moon 
as we go

Wide Open Skies

She grew up in a trailer park 
I grew up in a state of shock 
Cold, cold world 
Cold, cold world 

Looking for some peace inside 
I met her folks in their double-wide 
Cold, cold world 
Cold, cold world 

I was always one to hide 
In my room with dreams inside 
Cold, cold world 
Cold, cold world 

She came with a morning vision 
From that vision I started dreaming 
Whole new worlds 

She brings light and laughter in her eyes, those eyes 
She brings loving morning, noon, and night 

She grew up for me to find 
I knew what was in her mind 
Our new world 
Our new world 

And those who sit and judge on high 
They don’t know shit, they just wanna find a 
Cold, cold world 

She brings light and laughter in her eyes, those eyes 
She brings loving morning, noon, and night 

I will lay beside you 
You will watch me sleeping 
Seeing what I’m dreaming 
Dreaming what I’m seeing 

She brings light and laughter in her eyes, those eyes 
She brings loving morning, noon, and night 

She grew up in a trailer park 
I grew up in a state of shock

She came back on Monday
Didn’t hear a sound
Hadn’t been there since Friday
When she laid him down
Last words she heard him say,
I’m gonna sleep now —

She was searching for the perfect mate
Love of a lifetime 
Arsenic in sweet pies they
Went down just fine
She was bored and someone had to pay
True love’s hard to find —

I don’t wanna know
I don’t wanna know
I don’t wanna know 
I don’t wanna know
I don’t wanna know

Sleepy sleepy baby, I will pray
As I lay you down
Giggly Granny gonna take you away,
Put you underground

Last words they heard her say,
Let’s go to sleep now

Sleep Now

Lyrics:
Whenever we would be anywhere, in any room, your eyes would always be on me, I would never feel alone, I was never lonely…

Between me and you
No light and no room
Just the same
Just the same
No me and no you
One and one can’t be two
We're the same
Just the same
This much is true
You go away from me I will follow you
Nothing changed
Nothing changed 
Something you said it still rings in my head
I don’t wanna be mad but I
Don’t think you’re lonely when I’m feeling lonely
When I lay in bed with our love in my head
And I hear what you said:
Why are you so lonely, we’re always together?
I wish you could feel how lonely I can be with you
I wanted you
From the first time I saw you
I knew it
I knew it
You never know, do you,
What love will bring to you
Sometimes it’s pain
Something you said it still rings in my head
I don’t wanna be mad but I
Don’t think you’re lonely when I’m feeling lonely
When I lay in bed with our love in my head
And I hear what you said:
Why are you so lonely, we’re always together?
I wish you could feel how lonely I can be with you
I thought something today
I got something that I need to say
I just wanna be seen
Don’t take your eyes off of me
Don’t take your eyes off of me
Don’t take your eyes off of me

How Lonely I Can Be With You

LOVE LOVE brings together singer-songwriters Chris Toppin (Fuzzy, The Ex-Girlfriends) and Jefferson Davis Riordan (Evelyn Swoons, Mouth Almighties) with a lush American sound featuring dueling vocals and lyrics of love, murder, and the overall mysteries of life. 

“Both Toppin and Riordan have serious writing chops, but it’s when they tag team vocals that they shine brightest.” — Jed Gottlieb, Boston Herald
