Winter

Acoustic version recorded & released for Record Store Day 2014.

Greatest Lovers (Record Store Day 2014)

Verse 1:
I’ve been lost inside this daily grind
Trading peace for pennies in my mind
Tired of chasing ghosts that fade away
Hey hey

Verse 2:
Every day I stare into the screen
Living someone else’s broken dream
Guess it’s time I make my great escape
Hey hey

Chorus:
Running, I’m so tired of all this crawling
Screaming, stuck inside this maze that’s falling
It’s hard to believe that the whole world is spinning round
In my head

Verse 3:
I’m walking through the open door
Don’t know what I’m searching for no more
All I know is somewhere something’s really gotta change
Hey hey

Chorus:
Running, I’m so tired of all this crawling
Screaming, stuck inside this maze that’s falling
It’s hard to believe that the whole world is spinning round
In my head

Bridge:
Now the sky comes crashing down
But I’m higher than the clouds
On my six string I will strum and play
Hey Hey

Chorus:
Running, I’m so tired of all this crawling
Screaming, stuck inside this maze that’s falling
It’s hard to believe that the whole world is spinning round
In my head

Hey Hey!

Lyrics: 
I can taste it,
If I look through you.
And on my mind,
And all my body,
We’re scrolling though.

I’ll pick you up, you don’t seem right.
I know it’s late,
And I’m still high!
Don’t give it breath,
Don’t give it life,
I’ll conjure up,
These flashing lights.
These flashing light.

I’ve been wasting,
All my time on you.
Can’t see for stars,
And you know the moons for fools.

See the wolves, wait here for now,
Keep binding heels,
Can’t you hear them howl!
Don’t give it breath,
See it take flight,
And watch it burn,
With firelight.
With firelight.

Because nothing, nothing could hurt me more.
Than those four things.
Than those four things,
Consuming you.
Consuming you.

And you know you find it hard, to come out of your shell,
Your shell.
And I know it makes it hard, to love you well,
Well…

And the truth is, that nothing could hurt me more,
Than those four things.
Than those four things,
Consuming you.
Consuming you.

Lyrics:
Was is something that I said?
And did I give myself away?
For a moment I got tired of pretending that I'm fine

And I think it all the time
But I don't mean to be a drag
I'm so sorry that I brought it up again, I'll keep it down

And she said
All this time
All this time
All this time I could not see
All this time
All my life
All this time I could not see
You were doing this to me

3 A.M and wide awake
And all the promises I break
Simple songs for simple hearts is all I have to make things right

And she said
All this time
All this time
All this time I could not see
All this time
All my life
All this time I could not breathe
Were you doing it for me?

But if I could sleep just sleep
just one more day

All this time
All my life

All This Time

A reimagining of a song originally written by Ben Gibbard (Death Cab For Cutie) and performed by The Monkees on their final album Good Times. I stumbled across the song a couple of years back and listened to it over and over and over. There's something incredibly special about it, this beautiful ode to a love beyond measure.

Sincerest thanks to friends and talented musicians Austin Basham and Jack In Water on backing vocals, la.nskey on viola, and Nashville's Philippe Bronchtein (Hip Hatchet) on lap steel.

We hope you like it.

📝 Lyrics:

I followed a bird 
And it led me to pastures new
And it showed me the sky was blue
When all I could see was grey 

I danced with the wind 
And it carried me so high I flew 
And it gave me another view 
One I had never seen 

People say that things don’t change 
And life gets in the way 

But the sun will still come up, and I will still be beside you
And the world will keep turning, no matter what you choose to do 
And whatever the weather, we'll work out together what's true 
I promise you 

I walked on the earth 
And it told me to run far away 
To keep going until yesterday
Was out of my mind 

I made a deal with the sea
And I asked it to carry me 
Far beyond all those peaks I could see
Beyond what was mine 

I know you think that things don’t change 
And life gets in the way 

But the sun will still come up, and I will still be beside you
And the world will keep turning, no matter what you choose to do 
And whatever the weather, we'll work out together what's true 
I promise you

We're thrilled to share our latest release with you, A Moment / Joy - Edit. 

Stream: https://fanlink.to/MomentJoyEdit

Written in quarantine, this song is a celebration of the people, places, and pursuits that inspire you—or simply get you through—in the midst of uncertainty.

It's also a declaration of thoughts of regret. At the beginning of the pandemic, I caught myself misusing my time and thinking how I could have shaped moments in my past differently, which very rarely helped in the moment. This mindset wasn't unique to the pandemic, but the feeling was compounded by a few key events I experienced during it. It's been far more rewarding so far as I aim to shift those thoughts to the things I don't regret for a second, and the positive changes still to come.

All video footage here (https://smarturl.it/MJEditYT), and in the full version to follow, is from my first ever trip to California from the beginning of February 2020—a solo adventure that, had it been scheduled for a few weeks later, might not have ever happened. It feels fitting to dedicate this video to my longtime friends Chris Poresky and Gaby Caparimo (the best California hosts one could ask for). - Steve
