Luke Frees & The Shadowband

Most Of The Time features Corwin Zekley playing violin and was mastered by Garrett Edson. It's the beginning of a series of singles Luke is putting out monthly. The official versions that are found on Spotify, Apple Music, and Bandcamp all have b-sides as well.


Lyrics:

Carsick distractions
Heated reactions
I don't think I started the fight
We're not hiding tears
Our vision's unclear
Of who's in the wrong and the right
And day after day
They get further away
The memories of all of our nights
Inside jokes forgotten
And in trying to hold on
I think about you
Most of the time
Most of the time

I go days without talking
Spend time out walking the streets
And replaying our past
Slipping on shoes
From the days when I used
To believe that our love would last
And the pictures are vivid
But I wish I'd committed
All those details that now I can't find
Cuz once they get lost
The souvenirs tossed
They're hard to dig out
Most of the time
Most of the time

Most of the time
I'm trying my best not to let you go
For some, hindsight's 20/20 vision
But not when you're wearing rose-tinted glasses
Even the ashes look like snow

Projecting old movies
Late-night smoothies
I've all but forgotten the taste
If we can't remember it
Then nobody will
And it'll just get thrown in the waste
And one-by-one
They'll all just become
Blurry portraits in the back of our minds
That's why I can't stop
They have to stay on top
So I relive them with concentration
Most of the time
Most of the time
Most of the time
Most of the time

Most Of The Time

Strings is about those first few moments of clarity you have when you stand up for yourself in an unhealthy relationship, and how uplifting it can feel to take control of your own life again.

This double single has two versions of the same song: an upbeat, fully-produced piano-rock track in the style of Billy Joel and Elton John; and a "nighttime version," which was recorded in a stripped-back, candlelit session in L.A. with my friend and frequent collaborator, Jack Wakley.

Weather (Demo Remix)

New Religion

Black turtleneck and smoke 
in a room full of people I don’t know
Fleetwood Mac fell off the wall and I
coughed up the Codeine in my throat

Ooh, you burn like rum over ice,
Could you save me just one single drop?
Ooh, but you’re way too cool,
I can tell by the cigarette in your mouth

Mid-summer breeze
So close but yet so far away
Caught in your teeth
But what’s the point, you have everything?

How’s the view from Symphony?

I’m on a road that leads to
sweaty Allston, past your ghost
Purple room down the hall where I
cut my knee between my clothes

Ooh, I live off borrowed advice and
stashed-up money from the bar
Ooh, while you’re black and white
with your picture taken just for show

Blonde obsolete
So close but yet so far away
On bloody knees
But what’s the point, you have everything?

How’s the view from Symphony?

On Symphony, fate smiles back with jagged teeth
Lust mixes with every drink
Pride flies off the balcony 
You remain so cool and mean

I’ve seen the view from Symphony

Symphony

I’m so fed up with loving you 
Its led me to my end 
Hearing your name makes me hold my breath
and dooms me certain death
I’ve been through hell and high water with you 
Thought that I could swim 
I let you keep a place deep inside 
In hopes you’d visit again 

I hate the part of you I need so bad
What part? I don’t even know 
Your body’s like an open book
Full of stories you’ve already told 
There’s no surprises, I know you well
The map of your hand’s ingrained 
You spent the night as if we didn’t part 
And I don’t have a brain 

Now, here you’re standing outside my door
It’s 3 AM 
You’re telling me that you walked here 
And bummed a cigarette 
So don’t get mad if I cut you off 
I thought we stood a chance 
The snow outside, it fell hard
But I fell fast 

I hate myself for loving you 
Seems it never ends 
I still fish in my stream for you
But I guess yours runs dead
