lyrics:
Think of Me:

I'm dying, to hear you speak
I'm so afraid, of breaking down
I'm trying, to let things be

I wonder if you think of me
I wonder if you think of me
I wonder if you think of me
I wonder if you think of me

I'm dying to hear you speak
I'm so afraid of breaking down
and I'm dying to know what you think
I'm trying to let things be
I'm trying to let things be

Short Waves, Need the Whale:

birds & laughing

Spider Bites:

I heard you got in, a little fight with gin
and now you're distraught, now I'm caught
in the web again, I'm headed to the dam,
riding on my rims, as fast as I can

not to be coy, I see you're running thin
crater in your mountain, darling

you hold your head up high,
you never pass a fight,
you always win

break my heart into pieces,
take my start and abused it

the days go by,
and we begin to age, 
and we begin to lose sight of time
oh babe, know it's only a ride
hey, it's only a ride

Dee 50: instrumental 

Sweet Little Love: 

sweet little love, you gotta know
when to say yea and when to say no
when I was writing, water me glow
you're [my] true colors began to show
you're [I'm] ugly inside, full of bad notes
yellow prize, go home
tears in your eyes, as snipers scope
you shot me blind in the cold

sweet little love
sweet little love
sweet little love
sweet little love

Nice knowing you:

I wave my waving hands,
and she's too drunk to even stand
you were my baby blue
what's dead inside of me 
should be dead in you
you break out now
and start your groove
what's left out is me
another note for you
I've been trained 
to handle bad news
it was so nice knowing you

a careful crowd I might strike,
the supernova's so bright
don't be loud or put up a fight
if what you're singing isn't right

you break out now
and start your groove
what's left out is me
another note for you
i've been trained
to handle bad news
it was so nice knowing you

I met the devil 
and he washed my hands
in the river that crosses to
the undead, the undead

it was so nice knowing you
it was so nice knowing you

Pop Phases I, II, & III in E

I:
she knows, I can stay
and she goes anyway

II:
I hope she knows
she'll always be a part of me
I hope she knows
she'll always have a place to be

I hope she glows
she'll always be a part of me
I hope she knows
she'll always have a place to be
I hope she grows,
she'll always have a place to be
I hope she knows
she'll always be a part of me

I hope she glows

III:
I hope she grows
she'll always be a part of me
I hope she knows
she'll always have a place to be 
I hope she knows
she'll have a place to be
I hope she knows
I hope she knows
I hope she glows

[Seeking a friend for the end of the world]:

I called my neighbors
(they)
are killing time
with their little crystal dime
you can tell by their eyes
you can tell by their eyes

the lizardman and his keeper
a blue, undialated fever
killing time
with their little crystal dime
the ugly white men (they say)
should
break down, break down
(they say) (they say)
break down, break down
(they say)

break down break down break down break down break down break down break down break down break down



change, f minor

Nice knowing you

King's Crown

it's a beautiful day
packing my bags & headed out to the lake
to wash my hands in clay
& stack a rock or two

'cause I got nothin' better to do
then spend my time hangin' with you

she asked me "baby won't you come out and play,
and get a little sun on you"
I had nothing to do that day,
so I didn't refuse

get a little sun on you
get a little sun on you

sometimes, my education gets in bed with me
sometimes, my imagination gets the best of me




Sun On You

she collects, silver things, silver rings,
through her skin,
it satisfies something, it satisfies something
through her skin, it satisfies something

she leaned over and kissed me on the cheek,
asked me how I've been-
Oh you know I've been growing with the wildflowers

was dreaming of you this evening, and I was thinking:
will you love me even though: will you love me even though
oh oh oh, ha ha ha ha

All I can give you is this simple melody,
'cause my voice is shot, from all the cigarettes
and black coffee

the way you know me
the way you know me

"North's new approach to recording yields a stunning album."

"Good to hear he's still on his golden sounding grind."

"Sunnybrook’s glowing, ’70s-leaning, Sigur-Ros-meets-Seven Swans campfire folk-pop
gem."

- Gorilla Vs. Bear
http://www.gorillavsbear.net/2009/08/03/sunnybrook/

"By combining elements of folk, pop and twee, co-opting his older brother's band's
found-sound affection and giving the whole thing a oh-so-current lo-fi wash, the
younger North's very first song release, "Waving Hands," immediately found him
standing quite comfortably on his own legs. "

"The musical wave that is Paul North which is Sunnybrook, which is that pleasant high tide of pop haze aqua rolling into my ears, has a new album out that deserves
some attention.  Water Me Glow flows like North’s previous endeavors and more so –
larger than life bedroom pop excursions soaked in solarized waters."

-Pasta Primavera 
http://pastaprima.net/artist-reviews/suggested-listening-sunnybrook-water-me-glow/

"North has released the random Sunnybrook download here and there, but now he’s trying something seemingly different: simply recording under his given name. That would be Paul Henry North, and everything about the starkness and cardinal descriptiveness of his meta-moniker screams “Western folklore tale.” So, lucky him."

"If this is representative of what’s to come from North, we can expect one of
Denton’s greatest albums to date."

-Pegasus News
http://www.pegasusnews.com/news/2010/may/21/dentons-sunnybrook-releases-latest-song-lobby/

"Seems natural that Denton's Sunnybrook would release its debut album Water Me Glow as a free download, even after receiving acclaim from Gorilla Vs. Bear and Pitchfork. Music this expansive and open-minded should escape
the traditional confines of physical media and bloom in the environment around you."

"Spaced out low-tempo jams (“Water You” and “Hej”) from Sunnybrook was sent to me the other day, I’ve said it before but the compressed, dense sound is what really catches me on Paul North’s tracks."
- Weekly Tape Deck
http://weeklytapedeck.com/2010/11/09/sunnybrookwater-you/

"Denton's own Sunnybrook brings us this new track taken from a batch of songs he's entitled 'Modern Maker.' Glacially frigid beats and dense, swirling sounds combine in the infinitely layered "Counter" an icy, non-linear track that radiates like cool mist from a open freezer. Exactly what we need on these long, hot summer daze."
-Altered Zones

"When Paul isn’t making custom mics for the likes of Tom Waits, he’s making music. Paul’s new material sounds really great."
