Fabric of Time [feat Gregory and the Hawk]

Second single out for an upcoming record "Strange Places" to be released later this year. 
Violin: Erin Howe
Cello: Jesse Dettwiller
Written and recorded by Ryan Rebo

Lyrics:
All alone and I don’t wanna be
No I don’t wanna be alone
Waking down an empty street at night

Listening to Crooked Rain
oh yeah, Crooked Rain in my phones

All alone and I don’t need to be
But now I kinda wanna be alone

I could put on my favorite Stones
And drift off into a dream
The one where Mick’s head is in a plastic bag
and he’s dancing with Mr. D

If you want me to die a slow and painful death
Well man, just queue me up some FJM
That ain’t you so play me something real
maybe Deacon Blue or Money for Nothing

(ahhhhh)

Getting high to stay below a threshold we can understand
I’m moving into my favorite scene
So darlin’ strike up the band
Give me something that’s lighter than the air
Or as heavy as the midnight sun
Don’t give me any of that shit that’s in between
Where all the beauty has come undone


On An Empty Street At Night

I'm a big fan of Juan Wauters and took the afternoon to record this cover. Peace and love, -r

Sanity Or Not (Juan Wauters)

I won’t mind, could you be so kind?
And just try to cure my digital mind
If you don’t know where you should start
Open the hood of my clanky heart
and there you’ll find, where the problem starts

Lonelier than I thought I was
Don’t know why, I guess just because
Oh, flickering light, will you cover me
Down the alleyway of society?

(you’re mind is like a broken clock, ticking backwards
while the rest of the world clicks forward)

“Proud to be an American”
No not really, I’m just a citizen
And I don’t know how I ended up here
Hovering in the atmosphere
Don’t wanna hate, no I only wanna love
But can’t tell the difference from below and above

Ohhhh, can you fix my digital mind? (x2)
And than fix my mechanical heart
I don’t feel like it’s a part of the rest of me

Looking forward to a brand new start
Looking forward to being a part of someone else
Not only myself
So much to learn like I was born yesterday
Hurt like a fly, been swatted away and
Love is a language that’s foreign to me and
love is a language (I’m trying to speak)

Digital Mind

I heard a voice in my room
Said 'love is coming soon'
'It is coming soon'
'To theatres near you'

I said 'No! That can'y be true'
'I heard a voice in the hall'
Said 'You won't find that all'
'You'd be foolish to believe'

So I've been keeping to myself
Let's put our judgements on the shelf
Sometimes it gets so hard to believe
In anything
I think you know what I mean

I'm I caught in a dream?
When I awake at night?
Wish I may, wish I might
Have this wish I wish tonight

Well I guess that I showed you
I listened to myself
I kept my judgements on the shelf
Was I foolish to believe?

So I've been keeping to myself
Let's put our judgements on the shelf
Sometimes it gets so hard to believe
In anything
I think you know what I mean

I Guess I Showed You

You gotta have some low times
If you want to be high
You've gotta have some bad times
If you're gonna survive

Well I don't know
Tell me, do you know?
What they've been talking about
For the last two thousand years?
I can't say why we run
Around in little machines
Surrounded by material things
That we don't need

You gotta have some low times
If you want to be high
You've gotta have some bad times
If you're gonna survive

Well I don't know
Tell me, do you know?
What they've been talking about
For the last three thousand years?
Oh my god, the audacity 
To rewrite our history
Killing all the mystery
That we need

Low Times

Sometime I close my eyes, don’t know why
I see shapes and colors in my mind
The yellow turns to red, the red it turns to green
Close your eyes and you’ll know what I mean

C’mon and close your eyes, give it a try
You’ll see other worlds in your mind
I’m not trying to escape, nor am I trying to hide
I’m wanting to see what’s on the other side

Sometimes when I’m dreaming, is this for real?
The room begins to change to how I feel
I look across the room, from the comfort of my chair
With my mind things are floating through the air

Dreams In Color

All alone and I don’t wanna be
No I don’t wanna be alone
Waking down an empty street at night

Listening to Crooked Rain
oh yeah, Crooked Rain in my phones

All alone and I don’t need to be
But now I kinda wanna be alone

I could put on my favorite Stones
And drift off into a dream
The one where Mick’s head's in a plastic bag
and he’s dancing with Mr. D

If you want me to die a slow and painful death
Well man, just queue me up some FJM
But that ain’t you so play some real
maybe 'Deacon Blue' or 'Money for Nothing'

Getting high to stay below a threshold we can understand
I’m moving into my favorite scene
So darlin’ strike up the band
Give me something that’s lighter than the air
Or as heavy as the midnight sun
Don’t give me any of that shit that’s in between
Where all the beauty has come undone

Got your back against the wall for me
I didn't mean to make it seem
That you wanted me to be a certain way, for me

You can whoever you want to be
Climb to the top of the tallest tree
Fly away with the birds in the sky, away from I
I mean it this time

We both know things are changing fast
I hope the fabric of time can last
As it's bending to the future, as it's folding to the past

There's an element of surprise
When I look into another's eyes
A world inside of you I cannot see
Can I be whoever I want to be?
Climb to the top of the tallest tree?
Fly away with the birds in the sky
I need to try
I mean it this time 

We both know things are changing fast
I hope the fabric of time can last
As it's bending to the future, as it's folding to the past

Fabric Of Time [feat Gregory and the Hawk]

I didn't know what to write today so I set up the mic, hit record to see what I came up with on the spot. This is the result. It started out as me and a classical guitar and making up lyrics, then I layered other stuff on top of it.

Written and recorded in a room in my house in Portland, OR, in about a 3 hour period.
