about

Recorded on a Samsung Note 3

A collection of run-on sentences and astronomy jargon.

lyrics

For a twenty dollar ticket I could visit you today. I would ride the bus for hours, watch the bright stars fade away. You would wait there at the station. We would meet and then embrace. I would finally get to set my eyes upon your perfect face.

Mass and energy are finite and entropy unfolds. That is why we all must die when we grow old. But that won't have to happen if I hold you in my arms. Time will stop and we will be protected from its harms.

With the universe expanding to a cold and lonely death there will be a day with only one star left and if I had to choose between oblivion with you and living on that perfect star you know what I would do.

Because the universe is terrible and wonderful and wide and I don't know how far I'd make it without you by my side so let us set a course into the yawning night and with our shared luminosity the future's looking bright.

Ah with countless solar systems all with planets of their own we really don't know how many people call these strange worlds home and I could meet them all but I swear it's true, I wouldn't meet another girl as wonderful as you.

You are like an exoplanet that we can barely see spinning around a small dwarf star, Trappist 1-e, you're perfectly sweet and pretty as a peach but sadly you will always lie just slightly out of reach.

And the strangest part, we haven't met face to face yet every time I hear from you my heart must race and that is why I pray to to the stars so bright that we will meet on a New York City Night.

Because the universe is terrible and wonderful and wide and I don't know how far I'd make it without you by my side so let us set a course into the yawning night and with our shared luminosity the future's looking bright.

Empty Stage Richmond, Virginia

These cassettes with Mountain Goats wannabe songs keep showing up with my door with instructions to upload them to bandcamp with vague threats of demon polar bears if I don't comply. He's probably just crazy but have you seen the damage a polar bear can do? Those things could tear through a baseball stadium made of cereal boxes like they were nothing. I'm not going to take my chances. ... more
