When I was a young boy, I always said, "Nothin' will be the same" I'll grow up to be something great, like a doctor, and everything will be a-ok Until those valkyries flew into my home and destroyed everything I had Whoa! When I was a rich man, I always said, "Everything will always be the same" I'll keep my job, and I'll keep my stocks, and everything will be a-ok Until those valkyries flew straight into my home And destroyed every little thing I had Whoa! It's a hopeful resignation of aesthetical representation Even if I'm, or I'm poor, I'm still me Oh, I'm still me When I was a poor man, I always said, "Everything will always be the same" I'll keep my clothes on my back, and my migrant satch' And everything will be a-okay But then those valkyries flew straight into-whoa-ver my head And I was out of work again. Whoa! But I'm still me Oh, I'm still me

The Canopy 03:47
Lyrics: I dug a hole in Io just to see how far I could go And hold on to the marbles in my skull But I lost 'em, one by one, and they're never coming back Now I'm living on a rising plume of smoke-stacks I rose high in the night with my eyes in a tree Flicking planets to the side, making room for its leaves And I watched the sun go black/And it's never coming back I won't ever leave this Canopy We're just a little bit crazy I howled at the moon, and swooned at the sight of light Bathing all our perfect bodies dying in the dew of night I felt my hands go numb, as I sank into the earth It's teeth gnashing 'round my torso, gifting me a reverse birth We dug a hole in Io just to see how far we could go And hold on to the marbles in our skulls, but we lost 'em, one by one And they're never coming back, Now we're living on a rising plume of smoke-stacks. We're just a little bit crazy

Spyglass 02:22
Lyrics: Sitting on my mountaintop / Looking in the valley - Oh, so low Lookin' through my spyglass / Seeing all the people dancing down, below There's a streamline cable Leading down, bending under To that sepulveda scene Picking up speed To the lips and the smiles That are waiting for me I'd rather speak in person Sitting on a stone / In a ring around a throne of fire - We're alive It's overcast city, but there's light emanating from those itty bitty fireflies There's a moon in a bottle Making it's way around a circle And it's heading straight for me One little sip and I'm cherry cheeked Arm-in-arm Being led into a sea of dwellings I'd rather sleep with company

Contributors:
-A special thanks to Morgan Spencely for his tambourine work on The Canopy and his exceptional bass work on El Gusto es Mio.
-A special thanks to Liz Resnick for lending her phenomenal voice to both The Canopy and, especially, Ragnarok Blues AND for doing so on such short notice.
-A special thanks to Austin Matherne (of Vetter Kids) for lending his drums and talent in some capacity to each of the four tracks.
-A very very special thanks to Brennan Ruiz for sound engineering, mixing, mastering, his time, and-most of all-for the opportunity. Thanks for using your mental spatula to scrape my beaten & carboned carcass off the ol' frying pan after three years of musical limbo.

You're all beautiful.
