about

This is about your last moments alive and conjuring up warm memories to pacify such an experience, such as that of your mother singing a lullaby to you when you were a child.

The sound and theme are very much influenced by Neutral Milk Hotel's "In the Aeroplane Over the Sea," which I had on heavy rotation at the time of this song's inception.

lyrics

High frequencies: they keep you from deep sleep.
Rattling in your brain, yet you can’t awake.

Strapped down with the key in sight.
Now the twitching’s in your eyes.
Struggling with the fact that you can’t make it out .

Crippling frames of the person you could become
(are) flooding your addled brain,
“Oh dear God, please let me wake”.

'Cause the rattling persists in your head.
Now the sheets are soaking wet.
Waves of higher frequencies,
“Someone shake me from this sick scene”.

So then your mother walks into your room.
And she’s the mother you used to know.
And she says,"son, don’t be afraid of what may come..."
And then she hums a soothing song
unlike the mother you now know:

"Sweet honey child, don't sleep too long.
God raised the curtain of the night
and now the sun shines on.
So wipe away your red eyes and come outside.
God has got a plan for you, just take his hand
to see it through."

And she’s dressed in white just like you remember.
And now you’re so at peace, you forget to breathe.

I wear my influences on my sleeve and I hope it comes out in the music. I know what I like and aspire to write like the bands and songwriters that inspire me while at the same time putting my own personal stamp on the music. In the words of Frank Turner, "I know I don't break new ground, many have travelled this sound, but I try to make it sound like home..." ... more
