Ghosts 01:37
There are ghosts in the hallways There are ghosts in my mind All I want is to leave the past behind me But my past is with me all the time Yes, my past is with me all the time Now my car is pointed eastward And my heart is on the line Now I have to leave the past behind me But my past is with me all the time Yes, my past is with me all the time Yes, you all are with me all the time.

St. Julian 02:50
All will be well And all will be well And all manner of thing will be well, will be well When I wake up on the mountain I will hear you call my name And all 1950s horror cannot possibly explain That I am a man of unclean lips and with these eyes I've done evil I am evil, I'm primeval But you welcome me the same, singing All will be well And all will be well And all manner of thing will be well, will be well When I wake up there in anchorage and look around the space It is cold, and it is lonely, and I want to hide my face But I look up there to heaven and I say, I know you're up there I am down here, I am living, and I'll never be the same, singing All will be well And all will be well And all manner of thing will be well, will be well

No Haters 04:00
Not saying that's a rainbow, but it's mighty long Not saying it's the best, but it's a real good song Not saying he'll be winning, but he's a real good shot Not saying what I am, but I know what I'm not And do unto others what they wouldn't do for you Throw yourself in front of the triceratops if he's in the way And when the Mongols come on unicorns, please lead them astray And when a horde of Swedish supermodels moves in down the street Dude, grab your bros and have a meet and greet And do unto others what they wouldn't do for you Let the very last train go to someone else Let the doctor see someone who is in worse health Let them take the car, although you had a date Let your enemies be the ones who hate And do unto others what they wouldn't do for you If your rainbow goes double and your boy's a champ Turn the song up loud so dudes and Swedes can dance Let the Mongols pasture their steeds out in the yard Find a leafy jungle for our dinosaur oh yeah? oh yeah? No haters.

Driving past 10 gas stations all more expensive than I want to pay today and they say the Middle East will quit before the end of the world What if they mean today? I'm never gonna make it to your house on time Because I know that I will have to stop But you say, that's okay, no hurry, hey, hey, it's not the end of the world This is a reason I like you For our compatible, fantastical eschatological views And I will get there, when I get there with you

Denver Mint 04:12
Sometimes I am terrified by the amount of things I love Not the least of which is because all these things will pass away and then I will be hiding in the dark I know nothing gold can stay, but here's to trying to explain that to a heart that thinks it's Midas, or at least the Denver Mint and I am hiding in the dark Cause you are the light And you set me right Because I love these girls and guys, my heart is trying to disguise itself as something boring, unpalatable to all disasters I am hiding in the dark I can make a fake disaster, nothing problem, even faster than the time it takes for all the truth to make it to my heart and I am hiding in the dark Cause you are the light And you set me right Darkness isn't harsh It's just reality, it's absence of delight Darkness creeps in from the corners telling me that nothing is alright You beat back the demons take the trash out tell me you will win this fight You, you've already been here, and you've already won Cause you are the light And you set me right

I can't hear your voice That is my own fault I have kept things between us Things I say I want Things I say I don't I have kept this between us, this This reverence static This reverence static Oh God, it is just reverence static and I want it gone on the better days than this I wanna be your man Doing the best I can But I can't seem to be it I am up and down I am all around And I can't seem to beat it, this This reverence static This reverence static Oh God, it is just reverence static and I want it gone on the better days than this

New Life 04:16
Young man, anxious, stubborn as nails Running my mouth with the tall, tall tales Five years later with my edges worn down Walking away from this lovely town Come on and walk in the light with me How do you say goodbye to five years of your life? I would like to recognize contributions of all size. All those who walked in the light with me Come on and walk in the light with me Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Amen.

about

It is fitting that "New Life" took 40 months from beginning to end (January 2010-April 2013), as wandering in the desert is one of the metaphors I most associate with that time period. But trials and tribulations give way to joys and pleasures, and I am thrilled to present these songs as an encouragement to those struggling or looking back on struggle.

I would like to thank contributions of all size: Bobby Griffith, Daniel Howie, Ben Nichols, Grahm Roach, Rich and Stacy Lubbers, Bruce Buescher, Jake Lovelace.
