Summertime

All About You

I'm drowning in the night 
Staring at this hopeless place 
Where the colors lost their grace
 I'm feeling cold now

I'm walking through the dark 
Wondering where the morning leads 
Running through my endless needs
 I'm feeling lost now

The sky is falling
 It's time to rise 
All bridges are burning
 It's time to rise 
It's time to rise

I'm drowning in the night
 Staring at this hopeless place
 Begging that's it not too late
 I'm coming home now

The sky is falling
 It's time to rise
 All bridges are burning
 It's time to rise 
All bridges are burning
 It's time to rise
 It’s time to rise
Time to rise
Time to rise
Time to rise
To rise
 The sky is falling
 It's time to rise 
All bridges are burning
 It's time to rise 
All bridges are burning
 It's time to rise
 It's time to rise

I'm drowning in the night 
Staring at this hopeless place
 It's time to rise

LYRICS

V1 
On a moonless night in a burned out building 
Your heavy cries were floating 
Seems all your life has needed mending 
So you cut the ties to the old things 
Oh whoa whoa 


V2 
Oh golden light of a daydream dawning 
Now held so tight by the story 
Of a carriage ride in a long lost century 
Through a countryside in the morning 
Oh whoa whoa 


CH 
I’ll take you out of here tonight (2x) 
I'll take you out of here 


V3 
A man in white his gold watch turning 
Was pressed for time you hurried 
To drink his wine and follow blindly 
But in your mind was folly 
Oh whoa whoa 


CH 
I’ll take you out of here tonight (2x) 
I'll take you out of here 


B 
Ooh ooh (4x) 


V4 
Your breath inside the window fogging 
On the panes you write a warning 
To the promised bride, her spotted ponies 
And velvet shrine of endings 
Oh whoa whoa 


CH2 
I’ll take you out of here tonight (2x) 
You need no longer suffer fright 
I’ll take you out of here tonight (2x)

Pre-order the brand new Best Coast album 'The Only Place' directly from Wichita Recordings here: http://shop.wichita-recordings.com/Bundle.aspx. 

On May 14, 2012, Best Coast will release their highly anticipated new album The Only Place. This follow-up to 2010’s acclaimed Crazy For You finds the proudly Southern Californian duo of Bethany Cosentino and Bobb Bruno maturing in both their sound and perspective. While Crazy For You was a nostalgic tribute to teenage feelings, The Only Place finds front woman Cosentino starting a transition into adulthood. “I’m trying really hard to grow up,” she says. “I’m trying to let go of my bad habits and the immature things I still drag around with me.” Of course this adjusting comes with uncertainty and self-doubt, two feelings at the emotional center of an album that also features a love song to her home state of California in the title track. All encompassed in the memorable album cover, derived from a 1913 sheet music illustration paying homage to the golden state.
As with all of Best Coast’s previous recordings, on The Only Place Cosentino handles all songwriting, lyrics, vocals and rhythm guitar, while multi-instrumentalist Bobb Bruno plays lead guitar, bass and drums. What’s new this time is their decision to work with producer and composer Jon Brion. A revered figure in the music world, Brion has collaborated with artists including Fiona Apple and Kanye West and created the scores for such films as Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind  and Punch-Drunk Love. Recorded at Capitol Records’ famed Studio B, The Only Place features a cleaner and richer sound than other Best Coast releases. Many of the songs’ arrangements are detailed with subtle percussion and unexpected instrumentation. Intricate but never overworked, the biggest change from previous releases is how it showcases Cosentino’s voice, this time letting it ring clear, unhidden by distortion and reverb.

Best Coast: The Only Place

Best Coast - Do You Love Me Like You Used To

Land of the Living Official Release- May 29th. 

There comes a time in every man’s life when he must question the principles of his culture, his community, and his ancestors. Some may ignore the questions, while others, particularly artists, wrestle with them until something new and lasting is formed from the struggle. Shortly written after the death of his father, Matthew Perryman Jones’ latest record, Land of the Living is a courageous personal Odyessey through life’s most troubled waters of love and loss, and communicates the process by which we grieve, and the fight to find restored hope.The writing process of Land of the Living was an intense wringing of words, emotions, and melody from the rags of Jones’ solitude, but are an account of his truth found in the pain.

His first full length album since 2008, Land of the Living was produced by Cason Cooley (Katie Herzig) and is set to be released on May 29th. The record could not have found a better birthplace than the elusive bohemian studio in Round Top, Texas, where it was recorded. The studio itself was made from a 1700’s Amish farmhouse, is surrounded by vast land and skies, and haunted by a woman the band came to call Sarah.  Matthew slept in a teepee outside the studio for the week the band recorded.  The short time span forced them to “trust our gut and bring our very best to the table.” 

For this record, Matthew decided to entrust the fate of his musings to the ones most likely to connect with it: his fans. In just thirty days Matthew’s “tribe” contributed $26,000 to fund the creation of the album. “Going into making this record supported by fans inspired me in a whole new way. It really awakened the sense of why I went into music in the first place-creating a meaningful connection with people through music.”

Inspiration also came in the form of the writings of Rumi, the letters of Vincent Van Gogh to his brother Theo (from which the title Land of the Living was taken), and Federico Garcia Lorca, who wrote about the idea of Duende—loosely translated as a heightened sense of emotion, expression, and authenticity in art, and particularly, in music.

In each song there is a sense of wandering in the desert and wrestling with the angels.  “Waking up the Dead” conveys the transition from mourning to once again feeling passionate about life. “I want to dance on fire and be born again” is Jones’ earnest mantra. Matthew mirrors the poetry of Leonard Cohen when he sings, “You stand in the water with your arms crossed, groaning hallelujah.”  In “Oh Theo,” he grasps Van Gogh’s artistic and spiritual struggle saying, “My heart was still unknown, I was drunk and full of sorrows. I was longing for a home with nowhere to go.” 

Perhaps the crux of the record’s struggle can be heard on “Cancion de la Noche”, or “Song of the Night.”  Echoes of Daniel Lanois’ mysticism float in the mournful guitars and full, round drums. He sings, “I was alone in the water, deep in the water, where did you go? Oh the light is in disguise, breaking slowly, pull me close and I will push you away.”

A response to “Cancion de la Noche”, is the song “The Angels Were Singing”, which delves into Jones’ grief over the recent loss of his father.  As if in a Flannery O’ Connor short story, he says, “I started running to feel more alive, to wake up my senses that slowly had died . . . each tear was a chorus, a sacred reprise, and I finally was grieving that long goodbye.”  

Is the pain we encounter in loss worth living and loving to the fullest?  In no way a trite answer to the question, the title and last track on Matthew Perryman Jones’ philosophical record gives us a resounding yes.  “You cannot love in moderation, you’re dancing with a dead man’s bones.  Lay your soul on the threshing floor. . . I am coming home.”  And as Rumi said, and Jones has shown us to be true through the journey of Land of the Living, “A thousand half-loves must be forsaken to take one whole heart home.”
