about

My favorite thing about being a touring performer is the adventure you find out there in the world. Even though it is, on occasion, terrible. ('Empty Bottle,' 'Fake It Til' You Make It') This song is about that feeling you get when you have just taken the first step, anything could happen, and you hope it does. I love opening shows with this number because just like a grand trip, a show should be a journey to somewhere. Just don't forget to enjoy the stuff along the way!

In life, people come and go, stopping in for a bit and then journeying onwards. This track features four dear friends of mine who live far away; Faith Grossnicklaus, and Intuitive Compass (Jason, Aurelia and Theo). The parts they play on this are ones they wrote themselves during umpteen busking spots and late night barroom shenanigans. Though we’re not always together, we will always have the reccordions, and that is something to celebrate.

lyrics

You know, they say, “There’s a mountain,” Ha ha!
“so high that you can’t see the top,
and there’s a dance hall, lost and gone,
where the music never stops.”

Grab your bag and go with me,
it’s a swell time, for an adventure!
You know, there are things you long to see,
beyond that far horizon!

Far away across the sea,
where Pirates hid their gold.
There’s and island on a turtle’s back,
and a castle all covered in mold.

You know, somewhere, there’s a forest,
where the trees are swarming with fish.
Everyone who lives there, in that place,
must beware the terrestrial squids.
