Hold me close, 'cause I can't breathe Calm my heart and let me sleep I still feel it in my bones so heavy The rumbling of your voice I still need you here with me tonight, Because wouldn't it be nice [if you could] Walk to my house at one in the morning, Pull me close to you to dance Play me all of your pretty music Sing me slowly into a trance Baby close the gap that's between us Laugh and chase me through the streets Take my hand, we'll go together Turn your bitter coffee eyes on me It's hot as hell, it's cold as stone Raise me up, and throw me down Heartbeat racing and I'm bright blood red You're lovely and it hurts But shy and frightened, babe, and too damn tired And I never found the words Walk to my house at one in the morning, Just to tell me you're in love Play me all of your pretty music Sing it to the stars above Baby close the gap that's between us Laugh and chase me through the streets Take my hand, we'll go together Turn your bitter coffee eyes on me Your bitter coffee eyes Your bitter coffee eyes Your bitter coffee eyes Your bitter coffee eyes Your eyes

about

Old, long-buried, amateurish and weirdly-orchestrated – these recordings haven't seen the light of day in five years.

From the heart glyph on my hands, to the yearning lyrics of Tulip Trees, to the very act of un-earthing these songs, this album is an ode to the place where I grew up. Now that the Washington, DC region is in the throes of a global pandemic, this piece of nostalgia feels appropriate. I no longer stand by many of the decisions I made while arranging and recording these tracks, which is why I'm offering them for any price – including for free. Any contributions are greatly appreciated.
