lyrics

When everything has come undone, and you've searched for where it all went wrong, well quiet your mind when these thoughts take hold and come along with me.
Sit upon the grassy knoll and wait for what you'll see

You can't stand too close or you'll lose your grip and into the deep and dark you'll slip, where all is lost through the sands of time, buried indiscriminately. And what was simple as a nursery rhyme, takes on its own complexity

Pre-Chorus: If you're not patient you will never catch a glimpse of what you've come to see. Too busy searching for the stars that will only lead you blind. Turn off your flashlight, listen for the creatures scurrying down in the leaves. You cannot catch it but its here to set your senses free

Chorus: Just to see all your eyes have seen, you can't tell what's for real. Don't feel what you thought you'd feel. When it takes hold, and you feel like your letting go, like its opening up a door, falling down through the rabbit's hole

The sands of time drip from up above and you're wondering where you are. You look up where the sky once was in hopes to find a star, to hang upon, but you're real gone. Now is the only true salvation your own creativity? Without these thoughts you'd just dissolve like particles of light through a raging sea. If there is no you, there is no me.

Pre-Chorus/Chorus

The Portland Press Herald says, “Whale Songs for Beginners is a quirky, little record. As it happens, it’s also a good record, with a heartfelt earnestness that belies its DIY aesthetic.” Take a listen! ... more
