In this review of our new album The Grouch goes over each song then sums it up. 

"Do I think I'd see these guys live?  Maybe if I were under the influence of a Love Drug and wanted to connect with my fellow travelers on a cosmic level."

"There is a sepulchral fragility to the songs this duo brings to the table. A brittle clarity in their refusal to labour the point." --ib

get right on take a ride that's what she said as she stared me down to
size a big brown horse with big brown eyes perfect teeth and thunder in
her thighs i tried to break her tried to make her mine just like a fool
i did not realize she rides with true love and true reason she's got no
need to give up her freedom i opened my heart and my whole mind
and then i asked her please be my guide we rode together straight
through the light i swear to god i saw darkness shine goodbye came
quick like a dream all i had was everything i need you can run but you
can't hide from your ride on a big brown horse in the night

born on a good day my son heres your name a seed planted you will grow to reign so soon i'll see you stand and take your first steps as a man you'll earn armor of gold perfect power and control you are born on a good day my son heres your name a seed planted you will grow to reign oh please don't be afraid of the dragons you will slay you'll learn all things to know my sweet baby my rock n roll you are born on a good day my son heres your name a seed planted you will grow to reign

this song is for my mother and your mother and all of our fathers too a kiss forever and arms that never want to let go of you...we grow up together you make my life better with all selfless things that you do you teach me what matters from crying to laughter a thank you is long overdue...i don't write you letters but i will sing this song whenever i need to say i love you this song is for my mother and your mother and all of our fathers too

lonely days broken on the floor but soon you'll say i know that bells are ringing all around and put your self together again its only pain a winding moon lit road the wise ones say you'll grow into gold so close your eyes and learn to see all over again

there once was a man who was blind deaf and dumb he was a digger of great mountains and he slept through his days fully dead to his pain like he'd lost it with his shadow but he knew who he was and all that he could be he was certain he'd seen all that there was to be seen but that sad little man wasn't moved by a thing and that was the story of his life until one perfect day in the sun and the rain he was thinking he was dreaming and he wandered away to a magical place that was hiding it was waiting in the back of his mind for just him to find like a small seed that knew it would be a great giving tree burning with fruit thats too sweet to be seen and that was the day that saved his life so he droppped to his knees and he planted that seed like a lover like a mother he watched as it grew to be fruitful and true it was taking this man over and soon he was pushed to the edge of a cliff he was hanging he was holding onto his little self too scared to believe that letting go helps but that would all change in good time cause the stars in the sky sang sweet songs for his eyes they were burning they we're yearning to light up his way through darkness and pain he was dying he was crying but he swallowed those tears and cleaned all his fears he was shining like the diamonds that are raised from the deep released from the pain of a life drowned in sleep and that was the death of his small self looking down at his grave he could see the sad face of a liar lifted higher by using himself gaining everything else like that fruit tree that was burning but would not be consumed he was there to be used and he knew it he bowed down to it with his arms spread so wide he could hug the whole world for all days and all nights and to serve was all that he wanted with his feet in the clouds and his head underground he was inside out and turned upside down and those mountains he dug are now towers of love built with true seeds burning to become trees and as twelve years went by he dreamed the whole time of the great butterflies shedding their lies and he soared through the sky using the sun and the moon for his eyes he saw this world as heaven
