“I wrote this for the keyboard player of a band called Fairview. I played guitar in Stunt Monkey and we were often sharing the stage with her band. I burned this song onto a CD-R and gave it to her after a gig in Longview, WA. I never saw her after that and thought she hated it. More than a decade later we connected on social media and she said she dug it.” ~ Ben Lazarus

LYRICS

Grace, gazing at your face on the Fairview website
I feel a need to write
This song that concentrates what I feel
Into a disc that spins like a skateboard wheel

I first saw you playing the keys
And belting out sweet harmonies
I felt like I was the ivories cos you were
Inadvertently playing me

You like the Simpsons 
Yeah me too 
Their DVDs and thoughts of you
Get me through these long van rides
Get me through these long van rides 

You ride around in a van just like me
Staring out the windows at the blurring trees
We’ve played gigs together before
Do you remember me anymore?
I usually forget other bands
But I want you to understand
That I think you’re gifted and unique 
Maybe our vans will pass on the 5 next week.

Volver- A hypnotic song created from the soul of creator MZIV/ Melissa Ivey.

Melissa Ivey

Volver (Comeback)

Following the death of a community legend Alicia Cardenas, MZIV composed this heartbreaking track in a simple home studio while house-sitting.  "Greif Be Like" features a simple four-chord progression on guitar that carries the groove, a baseline that gives the listener both hope and direction, and a  crying three-part violin to console your grief.
