Czar Bar Show Review

Buzzinmusicblog.co.uk  review by mr. edwin huxley

Thanks for your concern, but the van didn't flip, just almost went off a bridge in Kansas...  so we didn't make the show, and we're so sad we missed it...  But the parade goes on, we just chose our cd artwork, and we're playing an acoustic set at a benefit show soon, Lawrence and Kc more after that, check the front page.  The CD release shows are coming...  also an interview on lawrence.com and some homegrown buzz love..  come see us soon!

cheers

Friday, 6:30 PM, doors open

8 PM, performance begins
Village is an organization/community that brings together fashion
designers, musicians, painters, sculptures, DJs, photographers, etc.
Collectively Village organizes events--displaying & selling
everyone's work--with the long term goal is to open a storefront doing
the same thing.



In flea-market-like-manner photographers, painters, designers,
musicians, etc. will be given space to show/sell their work. We, the
cherry tree parade will be on the stage doing an acoustic set with the Abracadabras, and djs
Nomathmatics. Meanwhile models will be walking down the runway showing
off clothing from the six participating designers.



With this show, Village wants to draw much needed attention to human
trafficking, which seems to be a well kept secret.  To do this Village
will be sharing information about human trafficking with the crowd and
ten percent of the money raised from this show will go to Hope House,
which deals with human trafficking.

Beards Grow, Bodies Go:

Sleep slow sweet
They take, they tear, we wake, we wear
our hearts on our sleeves.
Breath deep, sleep.
Take your breaths,  and take your steps
towards tomorrow.
Hold on my love.
Is all hears, enticing fears
that he may be gone.

We are just trying to get by.
We are all just dying to get by.

This loss can kill.
All my thoughts are voting unanimously.
I will take your conscience-
you take mine and raise a proper man.
Blankets mark where you heart will rest
the last days of your life.

It just seems like a lovely way to go...

Reflect:

When you looked me in eyes
and you said that I was beautiful,
was it the reflection of yourself
that you caught?
I am everything but that.
I am everything but what you need-
I am far from perfect.

So where are we?
Are we still talking,
or are we clinging to the rails of a sinking ship?
Dear, let's face it
I can't make it without you by my side.

Wake up. I should have asked
for one more kiss.
(Wake up, Madam Regret says)

We are the patriots of our plight.
The antithesis of our romance.
But still I cling to the hope of a future home with you.
I'll just wait until the day
when the light bulb above your head lights,
and the epiphany becomes so clear
I love you.
But dear, lets face it
I cant make it without you by my side.

By this time tomorrow
I will be a footnote
inside of the story of your life.

Wake up. I should have asked
for one more kiss.
(Wake up, Madam Regret says)

June Bugs in July:

Seraphic baby boys we were.
Our shoulders rested above the horizon.
Our enigmatic sillouettes
Eclipsing the sun.

It will take more than this wall.
But it will take less than that after all.

Oh child, you were my modern day Jesus
with a gaping hole in your head.
I tried to stop the bleeding-failed,
but at least I made it quick.
Child, you were my modern day Jesus
with a gaping hole in your head.
I would have stopped the bleeding
if the view weren't so magnificent.

A terrible little boy I was
I broke your fathers heart.
And when your mother found you lying there
that's when she fell apart.
She raced to the gates of heaven
to meet her little boy.

Oh child, you were my modern day Jesus
with a gaping hole in your head.
I tried to stop the bleeding-failed,
but at least I made it quick.
Child, you were my modern day Jesus
with a gaping hole in your head.
I would have stopped the bleeding
if the view weren't so magnificent.

LYRICS:

Pity Party for Penny:

I picked a plot among the fireflys
so your light would never fade.
But you've been gone so very long
that roots grow in place of bangs.
And your hands outstretched
grabbing pieces of the sky
to hold in your leafy arms
feeding your apple eyes.
And it's a shame you burned out so bright.

We buried penny on the fourth of July.
All of our blue expressions
invisible that night.
I planted apple seeds up and down her spine
and her ripening eyes surreptitiously spying...on me.

And when I'm gone
you can dance on my grave
and host your very own parade
next to the plot where I hang like a leaf.
Yeah, we are all just waiting to die.

We buried penny on the fourth of July.
All of our blue expressions
invisible that night.
I planted apple seeds up and down her spine
and her ripening eyes surreptitiously spying.

Perfectly Polyphonic:

I'm a quintessential man by design
perfectly apathetic.
Always managing to remain
out of sight and out of mind.

I guess I never mentioned the depth of my intention
to capture your soul with my fingertip.
You need not to worry girl
these stills will not be blurry resting their backs on my wall.

We'd all get lost in the completely amorous
shades of embarrassment.
With luck, the light through my apeture
will truly capture the unerring fragrance of you.

Oh, oh my love
this is not a phase.
I am infinitely lost in you.

I will never mention a word of my obsession
and my name will never dangle from your lips,
but if god had any pity he would have surely let me
have much more than this unequivocal sip.

We'd all get lost in the completely amorous
shades of embarrassment.
With luck, the light through my apeture
will truly capture the unerring fragrance of you.

My love can you see
how our roads are intertwined?
(I can't see it, I can't see how our roads are intertwined.)
[Oh my love, this is not a phase!]

Get Down and Other Metaphors:

It's hard to get down
with pictures of Christ on your wall,
but I am trying to.
(Him-I want it.)
[Her-I want it too!]

Did you ever mention
when your folks were coming home?

I have been watering my intentions,
now they're growing in my head.
While I fight for your attention,
or at least a worthy glance.
I've been fumbling with my hands
to hear you make that confirming sound.

It's hard to get down
with pictures of Christ on your wall,
but I am trying to.
(Him-I want it.)
[Her-I want it too!]

It's a sad story without a fairy tale end.
It's a bad memory of a night when I became a man...
and you became a mother.

Why does he look at us that way?
He's just a name on a page and a face in a frame.
I'm so glad we didn't let this night go to waste.
Now we're laying on the sofa undressed and out of place.

It's hard to get down
with pictures of Christ on your wall,
but I am trying to.
(Him-I want it.)
[Her-I want it too!]

Why does he look at us that way?
He's just a name on a page and a face in a frame.

Thank you all for your patience during this unexpected, and unnecessarily long break. We come out on the other side of the tunnel, however, more enthused then ever! We have had some small line up changes. Fortunately, it was all on mutual terms and we are all in good spirits. Stay tuned!  We will have two songs posted by the end of next month which have only been heard if you have seen us live. We will also begin writing for our first album shortly afterward if everything goes to plan! 

...if you are in need of good quality recordings at a competitive price, then contact me. I can assist you in tracking, mixing, and producing your songs. Even better, I am portable! I can come to you. :)

If you are interested in working with us, I am just a message away.

Sincerely,
Matthew Collins
The Cherry Tree Parade
