Includes unlimited streaming via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.
Here is the album that is on CD and streaming services, but without the cross fades! Certain tracks, such as The Real Reel, have a slightly extended beginning and ending! It's a unique way of listening to the record!
(lyrics by Josh Oxford and Caitlin Mathes)
Hey,
Do you hear the news?
He’s gone!
It’s the saddest news I’ve heard—
Sun Cat!
But if he’s the cat,
Sun Cat,
why would he go?
Why go away?
Go away!
(lyrics by Emily Hoyt and Josh Oxford)
Sometimes my thoughts get too big
And they go inside my head and Suddenly their roots are growing
Deep down inside my chest.
It’s hard to breathe!
It’s suffocating!
I can’t climb out of it!
There’s no escaping
My ideas they vanish before
I get ahold of them
And one small thing can send me sideways
Into a tailspin
And it’s so hard to function that way
So I just lay in bed
I’m frozen
Spinning out of control
I’m losing my mind
Down the rabbit hole
Sometimes thoughts get too big
And they go inside your head and Suddenly their roots are growing
Deep down inside your chest.
It’s hard to breathe!
It’s suffocating!
You can’t climb out of it!
There’s no escaping
Your ideas they vanish into
the fog around them
And one small thing can send you flying
Into a tailspin
it’s frustrating to function that way
So you just lay in bed
You’re frozen
Spinning out of control
I’m losing my mind
Down the rabbit hole
Once we get that tunnel vision
Nothing makes any sense
We lose ourselves inside a whirlpool
Where is our confidence
And what are we obsessing over?
It’s time to stop this mess
and fall forward!
Spinning out of control
I’m losing my mind
Down the rabbit hole
You will come around again
Though lately I just don’t know when
Know you say you’re comin through
Though lately I don’t trust it’s true
The warmth that you bring me is naked and solitaire
I’d rather pretend it’s absent, nowhere
still when you visit then leave
I beg for your gentle reprieve
But you fickle, jealous thing
Next time I’ll see you is spring
I’ve been waiting here so long
Don’t make me beg for you to come
You have made me such a fool
I’m lonely, selfish, and so cruel
and I could blame you for it all
For when you left me in the fall
You’re hot then you’re gone and I’m blue
Counting the days with more clouds and less of you
Every hour more cold
Then you return and it’s all
Bathed in summer bathed in light
Bathed in dewy humid nights
I’ll hold on to you for now
And I’ll make it anyway
Count it back from ten to one
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1
This is the place I found myself
back when I was dreaming
The hills, college bells
and the summer streaming
We sit still inside of our homes
for the colder season
We wait it out in heavy coats
until the sounds start breaking
Can you feel it
Music
Thunder moving closer to the city
Can you feel it
Music
Lighting up the scene with electricity
Music (7x)
A place is just a tiny dot
on a map of paper
It can get crumpled up and tossed
Maybe you’ll find it later
The memories lie in the folds
and make the picture clearer
The songs, the friends, and all the shows
will keep us coming back home
Can you feel it
Music
Thunder moving closer to the city
Can you feel it
Music
Lighting up the scene with electricity
Can you feel it
Music
Thunder moving closer to the city
Can you feel it
Music
Lighting up the scene with electricity
Music (15x)
Can you hear it - music
Can you feel it - music
(lyrics by Amanda Massa and Josh Oxford)
Does it work out in the end?
When will I see the sun again?
That iridescence!
When will we ever feel young again— shining love?
It’s not like this always
I’m sure the sun eventually will show up!
Maybe it’s time now to turn my head,
soar and disappear?
Time to fly!
Remember fun in the sun?
When will I get to have fun?
I know there’s light somewhere out there
Beyond the trees and the sky!
When will it come back here?
When will we finally see the light that’s been shining bright inside all of us?
When will it come back here?
When will we finally see the light that’s been shining bright inside all of us?
Today!
Will I ever see today?
And now the sun is out
And now we finally see the light that’s been shining bright inside all of us
And now the sun is out
And now we finally see the light that’s been shining bright inside all of us
And now the sun is out
And now we finally see the light that’s been shining bright inside all of us today
The sun is shining today
The sun is shining today
The sun will shine for us
What a beautiful day!
The Turquaz sky smiled as sun light plays
Beams a warm glowing ray
To bless you on your magic day
You can see all the shadows
playing joyfully near
Watch them dance in the meadow
Spreading love and good cheer
Love is gregarious
Love is a crystal
Love is what carries us through our lives eternal
Love is hilarious
Love is so graceful
Love is delirious
Love’s so delightful
Love lifts us all up
