Favorite Albums of 2011

The first time that I met her I was throwing up in the ladies room stall. She asked me if I needed anything; I said, “I think I spilled my drink”. And that’s how it started (or so I’d like to believe)…

She took me to her mother’s house outside of town where the stars hang down. She said she’d never seen someone so lost, I said I’d never felt so found – and then I kissed her on the cheek… and so she kissed me on the mouth. 

Spring was poppin’ daises up ‘round rusted trucks and busted lawn chairs. We moved into a studio in Council Bluffs to save a couple bucks. Where the mice came out at night, neighbors were screaming all the time. We’d make love in the afternoons to Chelsea Girls and Bachelor No. 2, I’d play for her some songs I wrote, she’d joke and say I’m shooting through the roof, I’d say, “They’re all for you, dear, I’ll write the album of the year.”

And I know she loved me then, I swear to God she did. It’s way she’d bite my lower lip and push her hips against my hips and dig her nails so deep into my skin. 

The first time that I met her I was convinced I had finally found the one. She was convinced I was under the influence of all those drunken romantics – I was reading Fante at the the time – I had bukowski on the mind. She got a job at Jacob’s serving cocktails to the local drunks. Against her will. I fit the the bill: I perched down at the end of the bar, She Said, “Space is not just a place for stars – I gave you an inch, you want a house with a yard.” And I know she loved me once, but those days are gone. She used to call me everyday from a pay phone on her break for lunch – just to say she can’t wait to come home. 

The last time that I saw her she was picking through which records were hers. Her clothes were packed in boxes, with some pots and pans and books and a toaster. Just then a mouse scurried across the floor….we started laughing ‘til it didn’t hurt.

here you go.

a clip of one of the songs that will be on my EP. i believe it will be out in feb.

Listen to this clip. My dude Brad is wayyyy too talented. 

Under my love
Wake up to your window
The day calls in billows
It’s echoing moonlight on to the blue nightmare of your heart
In cosy red rainbow
It’s shaking off halos
And the memory of our sacred so and so’s

Oh take my hand sweet
Complete your release and bury your feet
And married we’ll be
Alone in receiving ours is a feeling not that they would see
They don’t know that we could be
That way your cradle escaped the sea
And your raven haired Mama cought told you so’s

Were laying in the shadow of your family tree
Your haunted heart and me
Brought down by an old idea whose time has come
And in the shadow of the gallows of your family tree
There’s a hundred hearts soar free
Pumping blood to the roots of evil to keep it young

Ah me all mine
Is it safe to say that we’ve waited patiently
Call me on time
And recall the tune that has place us gracefully
All into line
There’s the garden grave and a place they’ve saved for you
I’ll fall by your side
Though your silver haired Mama throws told you so’s

Were laying in the shadow of your family tree
Your haunted heart and me
Brought down by an old idea whose time has come
And in the shadow of the gallows of your family tree
There’s a hundred hearts soar free
Pumping blood to the roots of evil to keep it young

And now we’ll gather in the shadow of your family tree
In haunted harmony
Brought down by an old idea whose time has come
And in the shadow of the valley of your family tree
There’s a hundred hearts soar free
Pumping blood to the roots of evil to keep us young

I don’t know where you came from 
but I do know that I’m not alone 
be sure that I love you darling 
even though sometimes we won’t get along 
there’s not a day that passes by, my dear 
that I don’t think of the first night we spoke 
and those words are staying upon your skin 
along with that precious smile of hope 

that’s why I’m like wait, wait, wait 
don’t know you know I could be your home? 
I’m like wait, wait, wait 
cause nobody wants to be alone 

lying there on the kitchen floor 
were the last signs of a helpless soul 
and she knew that he would die right then 
and so she held him until the last breath grew old 
and so she cried as her darling slept 
in between her arms, slid to the floor 
and then she screamed out into the cold, cold night 
oh my God, please don’t go 

she was like, wait, wait wait 
I love you more than you know 
she was like, wait, wait, wait 
I don’t wanna be alone
