Blue Guitar Song 01:17
lyrics
buy track
You can't un-sing a song you've already sung And this won't be the first time, no this won't be the first time I'm looking for that intimate experience The path of most resistance You don't affect me anymore, you don't affect me anymore You don't affect me anymore I think I just said something I will regret for a long time

New York City 03:37
lyrics

I've been here so many times, I've been waiting long Everything I saw means everything's gone wrong I need someone to hold me tight Or I'm leaving New York City tonight Why do you still haunt me Why do you still haunt me I do, I do, why do, why do I Why do I, why do I still think of you?

Sputnik 02:28
lyrics
buy track
The urge to make you smile happens only once in a while these days And I don't even know you but I'd give a lot to see that tonight I could choke inside your arms, so tight I cannot breathe And I could fall inside your love and fear they'd never find me You say you want to draw me soon but I feel so far gone from you Catch and image so complete, that way I can never move A lot of pain to rise above, it's been a long time since you've loved like that

Tornado Game 04:06
lyrics
buy track
Fever, believer, look the other way Except for a metaphor, no passion left today I was five and he was four we'd cue our records up And dance out in the middle of the living room floor I want to lay back and hear you play tonight Without the small talk and urge to be polite

Gold dress, golden mess, golden chick, temperament Bitch, swinger, swing at me, swing at me Promise her and promise me Take a message, call her back, like to see what's under that Gold dress, golden mess Line up in size order You know they're coming to count our heads Take what's in our brains, mix it up, give it back Give me the time to tell you, give me the time to tell you Give me the time to tell you, give me the time to tell you Gold dress golden mess, golden chick gold temrperamental Bitch swinger, swing at me, promise her and promise me Take a message, call her back, like to see what's under that Gold dress, golden mess, golden chick at ten percent

4 AM 02:50
lyrics

It's 4 am and I'm waiting for you And you're not coming home And none of this matters anymore I will not want to wake to the daylight tomorrow I'll not want to wake to the morning today I will wait for you, I will wait for nothing I'll wait for you, I will wait for nothing And I don't know quite how I got here But in this moment it's so clear I will wait for time to elapse And I will wait for the waiting to end And I'll trust time to show that there's good in me And I'll trust time to deliver me to safety And I'll trust time to deliver me home And I'll trust time to make me into something beautiful again It's 5 am and none of this matters anymore

Beautiful A 03:43
lyrics

Do it for you, do it for me Do it for the God we trust Do it ont he count, 1, 2 Time to say goodbye, nothing left to see Nothing left behind, nothing left to prove there was a you and me Read between the lines Hide between the sheets Look alive out there boys Cause there's nothing better than a smile in defeat You saw it all, you didn't know what to say I saw it all

Long Day in a Short Skirt 02:06
lyrics
buy track
I've taken all the letters you wrote when you were in a bind And hung them up to plaster the walls of my mind But the glue didn't hold together, in the end they seemed to fall One by one, away from the wall I'm standing on the ground here and I can see the sky And you and me decided to fall somewhere in between We have called it home, we've even called it wise In the end, I can't decide You hate resolution in your life I hate resolution in a song It's been a long day in a short skirt, been a long day in a short skirt It's been a long day and I guess I'm leaving early again It's the same swinging story about lives and walls and piercing through And hey, I'm no artiste I've been painting us a landscape full of overgrowth for me and you But I just sit and stare at it

Mountains 04:45
lyrics
buy track
Here is the entrance, here are the keys Here come the words that never came from me Savor the brilliance of this honesty As I live off my moments of clarity You trick yourself thinking your'e the same We are fools on this earth playing a fool's game You say my mission and search are beyond you Maybe I have been looking for something more to hold onto All my words desert me int his one-woman show Leave me to figure out how I'll get through Wrapped in this blanket of all that I know You'll find me shivering cold I miss being the one who makes you laugh to no end I miss being that person you called your best friend To think I'm in love with what I can't see Must be a trick of the eye you've been learning from me Make your way out with a stranger's face Leave the history behind for me to erase I'm drawing you now from a picture way back I remember you like that And I see so much in you, but my words come up cheap You are beyond words, and words beyond me I hope there's a way you hear the part That mountains are smaller than your place in my heart All my words desert me in this one-woman show Leave me to figure out how I'll get through Wrapped in this blanket of all that I know You'll find me shivering, shivering So make your way out with a stranger's face Leave the history behind, for me to erase I'm drawing you now from right where I am Cause you are the most beautiful man I've ever known

about

Little Silver image

Little Silver New Haven, Connecticut

“The elegantly understated debut from this Brooklyn band does what great, grown-up indie rock at its best has always done: It maps out states of personal, emotional and historical in-betweenness with careful, intelligent grace… Songs […] take their time building from muted beauty to closely held grandeur.”
