This blog post is to inform those of you who've got your hands on a burned copy of my latest release, "Throw a Line." Thanks, as always, for taking the time to listen and get involved... you're da $@!#!!!!!

This album was recorded primarily on my personal computer in different locations around the country, and, it is by no means perfect. It hasn't been mixed or mastered, so the levels are all different. There are several mistakes in the recordings... but I feel the soul of the songs are intact, and that is all I wanted to achieve. I hope the songs find a place in the music section of your brain... :-) The money you spent buying this from me will go directly toward the recording of my next “real” studio album, which will hopefully happen sometime this year as I make the leap to Nashville.

It is inevitable that some of these discs may be flawed. If so, please email haydenisaac@yahoo.com and I will send some new files to you asap:-)

If you would like to burn this cd for a friend, I encourage you to do so! All I ask is that you please write the info that is written on the cd you purchased onto any cd you burn with this music. Isaac Hayden. "Throw a Line." myspace.com/isaachayden. etc., and keep the word of mouth flowing. Thanks so much!

1. "Shine On"
Written by: Isaac Hayden
Recorded @: Heidi's place, San Diego, CA

Lyrics:
Oh, Oh I want to know
What the world looks like when you grow old
Cause No, no I just can’t see
Anything unless it’s in front of me

Didn’t know it’d feel so right
Didn’t know she’d be so fine
Didn’t know lighting would strike
Broken heart and my best

Friend
You’re here again
Breaking down so slow now
What else did you want to know
Shine on feel this warmth now gone
All I want to say is it ain’t true
I’m here for you

Where, where else could ya be
Feels like all these words just don’t retreat
And if, if you never try
Dreams will fall down and you will die so

Didn’t think you’d understand
Didn’t feel your sweet hands
Slipping up my back in defense
Now she’s gone so am I free?
Or did she get the best of me?
Just tell me
When it’s over
And I swear I’ll never come again
Broken heart my best friend

2. "Vision of Love"
Written by: Isaac Hayden
Recorded @: The Porch, Nosara, Costa Rica



3. "Old Headlights"
Written by: Isaac Hayden
Recorded @: Macleod Street, Jackson Hole, Wyoming

Lyrics:
Well I want it all
I’ve saved enough to escape
I’ve tried so many times
To make it through this wave break
Packing up this old car
Is my only solution
I can’t feel the sun
Can’t feel the wind on my face
Would you like to come
We’ll open it up no brakes
Can’t you see that my home
Is no destination

Turn on these old head lights
Start it up and keep the car in drive
I got you, you got me
We got this just believe
We won’t stop until it feels right so
Turn on these old headlights

A New York city bar
Singing till the sun comes around
Old pictures on the wall
Point us to the next big town
Don't give up Don't give in
Don’t stay here in confusion

CHORUS

She don’t want me, she won’t let me out
Guess I gotta be the first to run away
If you’d follow, we’d never turn around
Around

And if we break down
Or we lose sight of the truth
Don’t ya worry love, I’ll be right here waiting for you
If the world stops to turn well
Don’t you cry

4. “Painted Red”
Written by: Isaac Hayden
Recorded @: The Green Basement, Jackson Hole, Wyoming

Lyrics:
Another leave falls down to the ground
Making it’s mark without making a sound
The yellow and green remind me of you
The colors in your eyes would change with the sky
Long grass stop to lie
Down in the fields of our youth
Never could recall the things that you said
Never can forget the way that you felt
I’ll never stop believing in you

The moon hangs low and shines down so
Through these leaves all painted red
Air so cold it cuts through my clothes
It makes me feel so much more than dead
I’ll be alright my friend

Now I know just what you meant
When you said that it’s all in our heads
The disease of our youth
Still I wish I never met you and I wish you never died
Cause then it wouldn’t hurt like it does tonight
It’s a feeling I can’t lose
And as the lights cast shadows around my frame
I say the words and then I speak your name
I’ll never stop loving you

CHORUS

Yes I know the colors won’t bring change
Despite my growing love
You know I will not play
Play with your heart

5. “Sleeping Sideways”
Written By: Isaac Hayden
Recorded @: Macleod St., JH, WY

Lyrics:
From over these mountaintops
Above this city skyline
I can see the world changing color
Just like you said to get a real job
Said boy quit chasing pipe dreams
you’re just gonna end up nowhere

CHORUS
No I don’t belong here
No I don’t belong here
I can’t be here I’m a loner
No I don’t belong here
No I don’t belong here
Feels like it’s been forever
(No I can’t be from here
Yes I’m much too scared
Must I live this way forever)

And on these golden streets
I break the vow of silence
Sing these songs loud for redemption
Gotta find a way to make ends meet
I’m tired of sleeping sideways
On a couch you bought in 73

CHORUS

Oh but I got my strength Long before
I had a name

6. “Orbit”
Written by: Brock Jennings & Isaac Hayden
Recorded @: The Lonely Mansion, San Diego, CA
Drums: Brock Jennings

Lyrics:
Over, Over again we march
Along this road
Paved by the one who fell before
But did she say the words to strong
Did she go

And I know it’s just my past
And I know I’m strong enough to last

But I don’t know why I feel so alone
And as the world passes me by
I know
I am not alone
Just gotta get let go

And you don’t want me
And you don’t want to try
To let go
And you won’t hold on
And you won’t lie

7. “Falter”
Written by: Isaac Hayden & Pete Stewart
Recorded @: The Cave, Yosemite, CA

Lyrics:
So We’ve gone for broke
We let it all hang out
In fancy cars
And old dive Bars
And Pictures of it all
Have been plastered to your walls
I’d hoped by now
We’d have this figured out

CHORUS
But I
I ain’t got nothing to prove
So let me give this all to you
Before we break down and we Falter
And Where
Where could I go my sweet love
If you were not here on the shore
To pull me back in from the water
Don’t Falter

So pull down them jeans
We’ll hide in movie scenes
And fairy tales
Where no one fails
Cause words are no more use
When the words have no more truth
So lay back down
We’ll figure this thing out


8. “Throw a Line”
Written By: Isaac Hayden
Recorded @: Macleod St., JH, WY

Lyrics:

Don’t Cry, I’m standing right here
Yeah I know you’re scared
but I won’t leave you lonely
Cause I would fly a billion miles
On the back of this dead star to say
It’s been a while my love

I can see the moon, from here
But the air is getting cold, I fear
I might not make it
Home to tell ya what I never said
That I been so silly ya I lost my head
But I still love you

If light, can bend and race through time
Tell me why can’t
I don’t know if you’d hear me
Should I, scream with all my lungs
Past Milky Way and
Mars I’d go, to show up at your

I can see the moon, from here
But the air is getting cold, I fear
I might not make it

Home to tell ya what I never said
That I been so silly ya I lost my head
And all those words musta packed a punch
Call it what you will but I call it a hunch
And everyone you loved has fallen to the sea
But you had to hold her face so you dove in deep
It’s time to go so come up for air
I’ll throw you a line hold on we’ll get there
And when we reach the shore gonna say what I feel
Cause it’s time like this that make it all so real
But I still love you

So life, screamed that it don’t care
What plans we have or where we go
She still might break us down

CHORUS

9. “Better off this Way”
Written by: Isaac Hayden & Dale Hoyt
Recorded @: The Porch, Nosara, Costa Rica

Lyrics:
Walking tall in the grassy lands I
Wish you were here to take my hand Yeah but
Life goes and something’s change
Feels like I’m stuck in motion like a
White washed wave in the big blue ocean
Sideways, for days and days, I gotta find a way to escape

Cause if I were to say
That I’d never go away
I would be lying and the

Stars come out yeah but the
World keeps spinning round
Cause something’s never change
When the Stars burn out yeah well the
World keeps spinning round
Like nothing ever changed
We’re better off this way

Walk the streets and I understand that the
Times change but so does man well
Searching for the great escape
The heartbeat pushes the window
Till we get fed-up and say oh no hell no
Freedom, comes to us all, does anybody have the courage to fall

Cause if I were to say
That I’d never go away
Would I be lying and the

Stars come out yeah but the
World keeps spinning round
Cause something’s never change
When the Stars burn out yeah well the
World keeps spinning round
Like nothing ever changed
We’re better off this way (2)

I wanna be the first one to retrieve it
Yeah I wanna be the first to go
You say my heart may never need it
Oh but I
How could I know?
