DIAMONDS 

written by r.stokes 

recorded by r.stokes, s.catherman, a.pendergrast & j.sattler at windom road studios 

mixed by t.kill 

mastered by r.irby 

"taking my lunch break to see you. just a trip down 95...for five...more minutes...with you. 

got a lot of love for you. you take me to another planet. like the diamonds that comfort you, i'll always be there - til i'm pawned for something new. 

and all the heartbreak we live through, for just a breath so we can stay alive...to try...and make this...so true. 

got a lot of love for you. you take me to another planet. like the diamonds that comfort you, i'll always be there - til i'm pawned for something new."

K.O 

written by r.stokes 

recorded by r.stokes, s.catherman, a.pendergrast & j.sattler at windom road studios 

mixed by t.kill, r.stokes & d.wintermeyer 

mastered by r.irby 

"you light my fire in the night, like a chill traveling up my spine; your kiss so warm & so divine. 

show me a sign, won't you be mine? your dreams are dreams of mine. 

happiness is what you'll find when you lay your head down on my chest. forgive me please cause i'm doin' my best to take control of my own life. cause you're not like all the rest. when you dance you move me like a groove - swingin' straight into my soul. like the finishing move: and i'm on the ground... 

everytime, won't you be mine? your dreams are dreams of mine. c'mon show me a sign - won't you be mine? your dreams are dreams of mine."

DIAMONDS

"somewhere in pittsburgh, rob stokes his head in his hands. his lush sound doesn't rely on contemporary mandates for cleanliness and order but squiggles for its futurism. the melodies and riffs open up to reveal their unassuming vulnerability. 

'live at the heartbreak hotel' is a not-so-familiar tragic romance where each yearning, aching pulse is as dilated and complex as the phenomenon of love itself."
