Written and Produced by Gold Spectacles. Taken from the debut EP "Flaws and Visions".

Verse 1:
Something was burning on my tongue
And since I told you, I only want to run
So I'm dusting off my suitcase
Facing what's now due
Tying up my bootlace
So I can run to you
Dusting off my suitcase
Facing what's to come
Tying up my bootlace
Girl you're the only one and...

Chorus:
And I'll steal you away
All my decisions now you have made
You'll smile and you'll understand
All our possessions, we'll keep them at hand

Verse 2:
Sunday mornings felt so low
Until I met you, then the feeling seemed to go
The days flash forward when you're around
Lonely nights still drag on in silence that's so profound
So I'm waking up real early
Checking my clock for the time
Wondering if you gonna get here
Before the final chime
Dusting off my suitcase
Facing what's to come
Tying up my bootlace
Girl you're the only one and...

Chorus:
And I'll steal you away
All my decisions now you have made
You'll smile and you'll understand
All our possessions, we'll keep them at hand

Middle 8:
We'll keep them at hand
I'll steal you away

Chorus:
I'll steal you away
All my decisions now you have made
You'll smile and you'll understand
All our possessions, we'll keep them at hand

On her fifth solo album, Mirah breaks it down and builds it back up again with the street smarts that only years behind the wheel of love can inspire.  Ready with the maps and driven to the rhythms on the radio dial, Changing Light’s ten songs carry us from heartbreak to wholeness and all the places in between.

Uprooted from her home after a scorching break-up, Mirah spent four years rambling and recording.  Tracks were laid down in almost two dozen houses and apartments — from the Northwest to Southern California to the East Coast. Sparse demos were recorded with co-producer Christopher Doulgeris in Portland and Los Angeles.  Embellishments were then added by a slew of friends and collaborators, including Greg Saunier (Deerhoof), Mary Timony, Emily Wells, and Heather McEntire (Mount Moriah).  In Philadelphia, Mirah and her sister Emily Zeitlyn (Divers) penned “LC,” an homage to childhood inspiration Leonard Cohen.  Seattle-based composer Jherek Bischoff drew up intricate string arrangements which were recorded in the living rooms of each individual player.  And Tune-Yards producer Eli Crews co-produced several tracks with Mirah in her new hometown of Brooklyn, New York.

Changing Light’s reassuring compass is found in Mirah’s shimmering vocals and incisive descriptions.  There is yearning (“Gold Rush” and “Fleetfoot Ghost”) and hot anger (“Goat Shepherd”), but no shortage of lyrical and musical playfulness. Whether it be the T. Rex-inspired rough edges of “Radiomind,” the rollicking lo-fi bang-and-pop of “Goat Shepherd,” or the lush pop balladry of “Turned the Heat Off,” the album corrals string sections and vintage synths with horns, a multitude of guitar tones and overdriven drums.  With calm and clamor, Mirah brings us all closer together through her universal honesty and occasional use of the vocoder.

“It’s a break-up record.  It has some moments of darkness, some twists and turns, but ultimately, there’s a resolution,” says Mirah.  "So much can happen in four years, even forgiveness.”

While Mirah has been making independent pop records for well over a decade, Changing Light is the debut release on her new imprint, Absolute Magnitude Recordings.

Mirah’s Changing Light is out May 13th on Absolute Magnitude Recordings with support from K Records.

Lyrics

Gonna light myself on fire baby
Gonna light myself en fuego hunny
Born with two feet runnin bunny
Gonna light myself fiya ya ya ya
 
Haven’t hit rock bottom yet 
But I can rock this bottom
Tet a tet
Turn the tv up real loud
So we can hear those mating ritual sounds

Hear my voice up on the screen
Sold my soul for that tv

Oh Oh Oh I’m broke
Oh I don’t wanna be
Oh Oh Oh I’ll light myself on fire super cheap
No no ain’t no joke
No I’m a beauty queen
Oh oh I just need a fire burning under me

Gonna light myself on fire baby
Gonna light myself en fuego hunny
Born with two feet runnin bunny
Gonna light myself fiya ya ya ya

Why are vet costs so damn high
I don’t want my cat to die

Oh Oh Oh I’m broke
Oh I don’t wanna be
Oh Oh Oh I’ll light myself on fire super cheap
No no ain’t no joke
No I’m a beauty queen
Oh oh I just need a fire burning under me
