lyrics
January came too soon 
Survived the holidays 
Without you 
But who are you 
You are anyone I wish I knew 
And tonight I wish I knew 
Everyone single one of you 

First day Champagne 
Old acquaintances are far apart 
Tonight Auld Lang Syne means 
Leave before the kissing starts 

Last year went down the drain 
They all do really 
Why complain 
Drink a cup of kindness (yet) 
And say goodbye to our regrets 
Ooooh, it's January 
Ooooh, it's January 
Ooooh, it's January 

11:59 
8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 
Midnight 
Was it a good year 
Do I really need to know 
'cause now it's behind me forever 
It was a good year because it was such a bad year 
That this year could only be better 

Last year went down the drain 
They all do really 
Why complain 
Drink a cup of kindness (yet) 
(And) say goodbye to our regrets 
Ooooh, it's January 
Ooooh, it's January 
Ooooh, it's January 

But who are you 
You are anyone I wish I knew 
Tonight I wish I knew 
Everyone single one of you 
Tonight I wish I knew 
Everyone single one of you 
Tonight I wish I knew 
Everyone single one of you 

It's January 
Everyone single one of you 
(It's January) 
Everyone single one of you 
(It's January) 
Everyone single one of you 

January 
(It's January) 
January 
(It's January) 
January 
(It's January) 
January

11:59 It's January

Becalmed

In early 2010, Portland-native John C. Worsley composed 12 songs, "stars lost your name," each one written in a different state, traveling from west to east. 

At the suggestion of his good friend and frequent collaborator Star St.Germain, he charted a "roadmap" of these songs consisting of their keys, tempos, time-signatures, cues, and track lengths, and passed that map to her. 

In late 2010, Boston-native Star St.Germain released her 12 songs, "name your lost stars," each one written about a different state, traveling from east to west. 

With the compositional roadmap of Worsley's, St.Germain wrote her songs so that they could be combined with his (never having heard his album). 

These songs meet in the middle.
