MORE / STORY

J.R.R. Tolkien read from "The Hobbit"

"Uno" is an alternative rock ballad about imperfect people committing to love each other.
The transcendent hope of love contrasts with the desolation of this broken world. A bright acoustic guitar sustains meaningful verses beneath a sparing but brilliant electric guitar. The catchy chorus will have you humming along for days: "Always / You know / Only / Uno."

The acoustic-driven ballad recalls influences such as Coldplay, Switchfoot, and James Blunt. Switchfoot fans will be reminded of Jon Foreman's solo work, both the Seasons and the Wonderlands. James Blunt fans will feel the longing and love from similar songs like "Calling Out Your Name."
lyrics
“Uno”
By Steven Thorn © 2013

We are not perfect
And that’s not ideal
But that is what happens
When people are real
And not a design
Of somebody’s mind

You are the flower
In the war’s desolation
You are the beauty
Of the bright constellation

Always
You Know
Only
Uno

When I put on a mask
You see my disguise
The doubts fill my mind
And you fight all the lies
Lower my shield
To you I yield

You are the flower
In the war’s desolation
You are the beauty
Of the bright constellation

Always
You Know
Only
Uno

Tell me you love me
Feel the elation
Give you my every
With no reservation

Moon on the water
You are my best friend
Hold me and keep me
From now to the end

Always
You Know
Only
Uno

Where The Light Comes In

I'm really proud of this one. If I could make a blanket out of this sound, I would wrap myself in it and be warm and never wake up.
Do you like pentatonic scales? Well, this one includes the fourth occasionally! This track is great for falling asleep to, for meditating, for floating around in the cosmos, etc.
