Lemonade and Brandywine 02:50
lyrics

You said nothing and everything That night under the tree And I would like to show you Stars as far as you can see Nothing is irregular About our place in time And I am lying next to you Sipping lemonade by the Brandywine Shadows come onto us Reaching out a little more And I find it all familiar The mystery of love’s paramour Well, nothing is irregular About our place in time And I am lying next to you Sipping lemonade by the Brandywine Shadows come onto us Reaching out a little more And I find it all familiar The mystery of love’s paramour Well, shadows come onto us Reaching out a little more And I find it all familiar The mystery of love’s paramour

Better Years 04:12
lyrics

I see your face up in the room of the house you built What a day you had then I see your face up in the room of the house you played What a day you had then How we drove by that paradise What a day That is to say, our better years I see your face up in the room of the house we built What a day we had then The sun through the trees reminds me of a time Where we were together once again Now, we’ve arrived to that paradise What a day That is to say, our better years I see our faces in the room of the house we built What a day we had then I see our faces in the room of the house we played What a day we had then Now, we’ve arrived to that paradise What a day That is to say, our better years Our better years

Part From You 04:45
lyrics
buy track
I can part from you and you can part from me But, there’s nowhere on earth I’d rather be We can run away and live in lies But, I know there are paths That we have to ride Did you know that fateful day you came to me? With eyes so sweet they tenderly showed signs of glee But, now you’re gone and with the sun Your shadow parts from everyone Years would pass and days unfold Our lives would seem but in a flash And in that time, the truth now revealed You’d done what you were told And not what you’d feel Did you know that fateful day you came to me? With eyes so sweet they tenderly showed signs of glee But, now you’re gone and with the sun Your shadow parts from everyone The path you took, it would lead you to me I know I’m for you, and you are for me Did you know that fateful day you came to me? With eyes so sweet they tenderly showed signs of glee And in the sun I saw no shadow Of another parting from her

Memory Street 04:08
lyrics

Isn’t it funny the way things turn out? One minute you’re, the next she’s not Who said anything would come of this When you gave it your all, but you knew That’d you miss? Then one day you two would see Across the way from memory street There were cars on the road with drivers that knew The lines on the road Better than you Memories that won’t fade away Are worth having if you want them to stay But, baby, we know better than that If you’re living in yesterday, you’re dying too fast Sometimes you need to keep them locked in the past There were times they thought you knew Whatever you did, he let you choose And maybe you were too close to be blind To what he really had On his mind And, memories that won’t fade away Are worth having if you want them to stay But, baby, we know better than that If you’re living in yesterday, you’re dying too fast Sometimes you need to leave them locked in the past Memories that won’t fade away Are worth having if you want them to stay But, baby, we know better than that If you’re living in yesterday, you’re dying too fast Sometimes you need to leave them locked in the past Yeah, sometimes you need to leave them locked in the past

Love is Better 04:16
lyrics

That sinister smile Those razored nails Cut right through all that ails That wicked mind Leaves you alive But wanting more than what's in store Love is better when it comes back Love is better when it comes back Terrorizing And tantalizing You dance beside her Til everything's clearer Love is better when it comes back Love is better when it comes back Her crooked wiles All the while Leave you tied up with a smile It's terrorizing and tantalizing You dance beside her And everything's clearer Love is better when it comes back Love is better when it comes back

Town That I Loved 04:55
lyrics

The sun shining through the ivy at dawn I see your face Took you by the hand and I led you along Down this way Down this way You were never sure of the trouble ahead Were you dear? At our feet, bittersweet, a broken toy Of you and me You and me Take me back Take me back Take me back Take me back to the town that I loved Let us forget these times for now We’ll start again Getting back to roots of the age old time It’s never clear Never clear You were always there to tell me all along Weren’t you dear? At our feet, bittersweet, a broken toy Of you and me You and me Take me back Take me back Take me back Take me back to the town that I loved The sun shining through the ivy at dawn I see your face Took you by the hand and I led you along Down this way Down this way Well, take me back Take me back Take me back Take me back to the town that I loved Take me back Take me back Take me back Take me back to the town that I loved The town that I loved

Summer Song 05:04
lyrics
buy track
Oh, Opalescent sky meanders outward Reaching its peak turning northbound Warm air sprouts the leaves Merles float through the trees Pristine streams flow by Catching your eye, they shine Hand in hand, we make a stand Sunlight tries to bring out the new day White picket fence strays toward your door Stretching out forever, the grass fills out below Summer is seen before Overturned pebbles and stones Are skipped right by your home The sounds from the hill Are heard with a thrill Sunlight tries to bring out the new day White picket fence strays toward your door Stretching out forever, the grass fills out below Summer is seen before Sunlight tries to bring out the new day White picket fence strays toward your door Stretching out forever, the grass fills out below Summer is seen before

There Was a Time 03:42
lyrics

There was a time When I didn’t know the how or the why But, I saw you lie Down in the fields of our dreams You had a way You never let your heart betray What you would say I know there were never times like these Oh, yes, it’s true We’re on this road again Never knowing the how or the when Forgotten harlequins I always knew I’d see you again It wasn’t unclear Where you would be when you said, oh, yes It wasn’t a guess When you and I have always been so near Oh, yes, it’s true We’re on this road again Never knowing the how or the when Forgotten harlequins I always knew I’d see you again It’ll be fine You took your time on a borrowed dime Can’t you see? Damn the past and be with me Yes, it’s true We’re on this road again Never knowing the how or the when Forgotten harlequins I always Knew I’d see you again Singing to you We’re on this road again Never knowing the how or the when Forgotten harlequins I always knew I’d see you again I always knew I’d see you again Yes, I always knew I’d see you again

Where Are You Going? 04:12
lyrics

Where are you going, and where have you been? It's been a while since the dust settled in Over and under throughout that town Been forever since you talked about Those long days you seemed so tired Pretty baby, hold your head up high Settle down and find your ground There's no reason to wear that frown Oh, don’t you throw it away Oh, don't you throw it away Rusted metal on that old car Damn, that thing has gotten you far Roll the windows down, feel the wind on your hair There's no reason to get away from there Oh, don’t you throw it away Oh, don't you throw it away It's fine to act that way And sometimes I have nothing to say Whoever you trust, me or yourself I know that you'll be ok Oh, don’t you throw it away Oh, don't you throw it away Who are you when the lights go off? What about when they turn on? Over and under throughout that town There's no reason to wear that frown Oh, don't you throw it away Oh, don’t you, don't throw it away Oh, don't you throw it away Oh, don’t you, don't throw it away

Night 04:32
lyrics

Night gaining, your sight waning You can’t see at all but you know You can’t help it but stare at the low lit Candles as they to and fro Is there any time for day? Hushed lullabies, forgotten goodbyes Are all that seem to be done In morning you’ll find nighttime’s alibi Has come with the glowing sun Is there any time to say? We’ve come so far Pirouetting on mother nature’s eyes To come so far And not learn what was learned All those years ago Morning is coming, your body is waking You can’t help it but you know That it’s the same day call it what you’ll say It’s got to be better somewhere Is there any time anyway? We’ve come so far Pirouetting on mother nature’s eyes To come so far And not learn what was learned All those years ago We’ve come so far Pirouetting on mother nature’s eyes To come so far And not learn what was learned All those years ago

Fears and Scars 04:05

Well, I put down the glass And nothing remained And I looked to the past And nothing looked back The fears and the scars Of being with you Were nothing compared To that night in the bar The way I felt about you Desires are mired in the bloom There’s nothing for me And nothing is left for you Our fears and our scars Of being with you What I’d give, I would give For that night in the bar The way I felt about you Desires are mired in the bloom There’s nothing for me And nothing is left for you The way I felt about you Desires are mired in the bloom There’s nothing for me And nothing is left for you

Through the Trees 03:56

Tiny metal branches Come out on the ground Rising with ev’ry twig To the sky above Wrap your eyes around the fire Til you see it grow Burning more ev’ry day Watch them as they go We can’t stop growth We can’t stop growth Step off your metal horses Step onto the ground Pushing for our change Time to leave the crowd We can’t stop growth We went through the trees Tiny metal horses Are all I see We’ve gone too far We can’t stop growth We went through the trees We went through the trees

Can't be what you want them to be Can't see what you want them to see That's the way it goes You wave your hand from the back of a van Hurry up if you give a damn That's the way it goes Well, hello, Aphrodite Gotta be you, Aphrodite Well, hello, Aphrodite Gotta be you, Aphrodite Broken glass, rusted nails You were never as frail as Those that I used to know You wave your hand from the back of a van Hurry up if you give a damn Oh, that's the way it goes Well, hello, Aphrodite Gotta be you, Aphrodite Well, hello, Aphrodite Gotta be you, Aphrodite Well, hello, Aphrodite Gotta be you, Aphrodite Well, hello, Aphrodite Gotta be you, Aphrodite Well, hello, Aphrodite Got to be you, Aphrodite Well, hello, Aphrodite Singing to you, Aphrodite

Whispered Winds 04:41
lyrics

There you are in the room Do you recall an afternoon When we were in the bloom Of me and you? Whispered winds throughout the room Reminds me of that afternoon In a place without a clue Where are you? I’ve no clue There you are in this place Gone without a trace I had no intention of letting you go Make your way to home Whispered winds in the room They bring me right back to you I just want that afternoon For me and you Now and then, I think again Of the pictures and the chatter Well, my dear, did it matter? It does to me It did to you There you are in this place Gone without a trace I had no intention of letting you go Make your way to home Whispered winds in the room Remind me of an afternoon In a place without a clue Where are you? I’ve no clue There you are in this place Gone without a trace I had no intention of letting you go Make your way to home Make your way to home Whispered winds in the room Reminds me of an afternoon In a place without a clue Where are you?

about

As with most things in life, there are two sides to any given story. Love is no different.

My deepest gratitude goes out to all who had a hand making this album, Love is Better, a reality.

The goal was to capture the dichotomy of love we often experience; both the heartlifting and morose times alike.

I hope you enjoy this record and exploring the themes within it as much as we enjoyed creating it.
