Little Moment

I'm So Tired

You Let Me In - Luke Rathborne
New York City puts lines on your face
when you feel your body as it starts to break
and you feel like somebody's gonna put you away..

I saw you out on Christopher street
with your head in your hands and your shoes on your feet
and you asked me if some people get caught in between..
the line and nowhere

You let me in
Now I'll never be free again
You let me in
from all the beggars and thieves again

What's the difference between dreaming and dying?
when you told me I thought you was lying
and your holding your eyelids but you can't keep from crying..
your tear drops are streaming

You let me in
Now I'll never be free again
You let me in
from all the beggars and thieves again

You let me in.. (x4)

Luke Rathborne announces a new releases, the New York City by way of Brunswick, Maine singer/songwriter has garnered an impressive following through recent 2015 release Soft, with over 10 million streams on Spotify under his label True Believer. Today, Rathborne has announced a new LP – “Again” and debuted its sun-kissed title track.

“In your car, I could drive for miles..” Be the One paints a picture vividly of sun dappled skies, in the tradition of his forebearers like REM/Big Star but illuminating a new soundscape of his own.

Produced by Luke Rathborne and Ted Young (Kurt Vile, Sonic Youth),  the recording features the Bass talent of Darren Will with Rathborne filling out the arrangement. The song was recorded in Brooklyn, New York at a now shuttered Recording Studio. “The neighborhood has changed every day. I needed to get out of town. I didn’t recognize the New York I moved to ten years back."

After moving to New York, Rathborne started his own small label True Believer in order to self-release tracks (independently garnering over 10 million streams on Spotify), and booking his own shows across the city. Early attention from press came – Noisey, Vogue, Nylon, Interview Magazine, and Billboard have all written about him, with SPIN describing the most recent release as “channeling the garage-rock sludge of Ty Segall and resurrecting the melodic charms of R.E.M.”

Ordinary Woes

29 Palms
(L. Rathborne)
Daddy waiting patiently, it ain't like some kind of crutch
Ever since the baby came, we've just fallen out of touch
Navy base is closing down, and we don't stand a chance
still thought Sharise looked pretty when she's waiting at the dance..

Some faraway desert town outside 29 palms..
People waiting for their pay, and it never seems to come..
You got soldiers there, who died out on the road
No one's sayin' it's wrong or right, no one says it's wrong or right, I suppose..

Stuck in time, I don't know how we fit this part
Stuck in time, I don't how we ever start

Me and Tom we got our guns, headed for the borderline
Never pictured it'd get so far, we're just running out of time
When we hit the road, people come out and cried..
Guess it takes a heavy toll, when someone's heart has died..

Stuck in time, I don't know how we fit this part
Stuck in time, I don't how we ever start

I've been to Reno, and I gambled my last ten..
California, where they hustled me again..
If you get too poor, well they just forget your name
there's nothing like singing the Blues..

Stuck in time, I don't know how we fit this part
Stuck in time, I don't how we ever start

I had the strangest dream that a fire burned in me..
Can never stop that light, they just get you on your knees
I had to thank the Lord, for the kindness I'd received..
Some people treat you good, when they don't know what you need..

Stuck in time, I don't know how we fit this part
Stuck in time, I don't how we ever start
We're stuck in time..

Luke Rathborne
