about

This is the new single off of my upcoming album! This record was mostly recorded in three days live off the floor in the studio with minimal overdubs just like classic records from John Lennon and Bob Dylan. That means everyone in the band played together live in the studio including the vocals and we chose takes with minimal editing. People don't do it much anymore because it's a risky way to record, but this band is a little bit of magic live, so I wanted to see if we could capture a few fire flies in the bag. I think we did it!

lyrics

There are no photographs of miracles
They just fade and disappear
Like children’s footprints in the snow
They vanish into their careers

Once upon a time
I was enchanted by your faraway eyes
Full of forests, glaciers, blue horizons
For miles and miles

But the river still winds in the distance in those eyes
Behind the straight lines there’s a wilderness of time
Arizona
Turn the lights back on
I will find you
I will walk upon
The water

There are no photographs of miracles
They blur into the atmosphere
Like the caribou, the bears and wolves
All monsters seem to disappear

Once upon a time
I was enchanted by your faraway eyes
Full of forests, glaciers, blue horizons
For miles and miles

But the river still winds in the distance in those eyes
Behind the straight lines there’s a wilderness of time
Arizona
Turn the lights back on
I will find you
I will walk upon
The water

We floated away
On an ordinary sea
Shadowy landscapes
Now known to you and me
To civilization
And melancholy

But the river still winds in the distance in those eyes
Behind the straight lines there’s a wilderness of time
Arizona
Turn the lights back on
I will find you
I will walk upon
The water
