THE STORY:
Recently we recorded two of our newer songs with Todd Carter at Bel Air Studios in Chicago for promotional uses only. We were generously offered some free studio time by Sparrow of Sparrow Studios and we used the time to record "Spotlights" and "Never a Harbor." Afterwards, we took the mixes over to ARS Studios to be mastered, and we will be using these recordings to tide us over until we finish our upcoming EP, slated for release in January 2008.

Spotlights Spotlights Hot night That leather miniskirt keeps sticking to your thighs Runways Clichés You find disgust with each manikin’s disguise But you’re with me now V.I.P. now And there’s a price tonight for every crooked smile Gotta impress Gain access But the prize tonight, I’m convinced it makes it all worthwhile But you aint gonna buy it You tell me no, no, no I step into the party And you just go, go, go So I’ll start dancin’ on these tables Drink ‘till I am able To careen into the sun And when the interrogation starts I’ll recite repentant parts But I wont tell them what you’ve done … to me. Big shots Blind spots You say you’re stuck between my dreams And expectations Just get me cheap drugs And a little scene buzz And hype me up On my own congratulations Adoration - compensation Far too much alike for me than you’re willing to allow They adore me like a first date, you adore me like a vow I know I shouldn’t need it but I know I need it now And I’ll leave all these suited snakes Let them slander my escape And slither to the latest trend And I’ll jump all these velvet ropes Make my break with just the hope To make you smile again Never a Harbor love is not water my will is not the wind i aint no castaway babe i know just where i am and my tears aint nothing like a good heavy rain but from this vantage point they could be the same but i am no sailer i lack a ship you were never a harbor to me you were a girl and that's it and i am no captain drunk at the wheel but i owe you the truth though babe that's just how it feels so take me away yeah take me away take me away from these metaphors i'm livin for today yeah you lost me but nothing is dying and there's life in our bones i'll be with you st. valentine's day as you're al capone i am not a christian child losin my faith i'm simply leavin you and i'm tryin to save face this car gives me the freedom i'd expect from a boat but i'd not take her anywhere you couldn't follow if one day in my travels i'm back at your port i'd offer you riches babe to let me back in your door | |||
