I wish I know why love is so unkind I wish I know why I have you on my mind It's got to be love 'cause I seldom see you I must be sad with love and I want to hear from you You have always been my one desire, my one desire Oh lady, you set my heart on fire Lady of mine I will spend my life waiting for you Lady of mine I will give my soul to be with you And I pray with time you will make my dreams come true Lady of mine I love, I love you You have always been my one desire, my one desire Oh lady, you set my heart on fire Lady of mine I will spend my life waiting for you Lady of mine I will give my soul to be with you And I pray with time you will make my dreams come true Lady of mine I love, I love you

She knows me She knows me Sometimes I have a weird way of showing my love And I always expect her to know what I'm thinking of She knows me I treat her so mean I don't deserve what I have And I think that she'll forget just by making her laugh But she knows me She knows me too well Knows me so well That she can tell I really love her She knows me too well I get so jealous of the other guy And then I'm not happy til I make her break down and cry When I look at other girls it must kill her inside But it'd be another story if she looked at the guys But she knows me She knows me too well Knows me so well That she can tell I really love her She knows me too well She knows me She knows me When I look at other girls it must kill her inside But it'd be another story if she looked at the guys Cause she knows me Knows me so well That she can tell I really love her She knows me too well

I've waited so long Girl set yourself free And take your chances with me I've started my song A sweet melody C'mon and sing it with me A woman, a good son, a reason to go You can't expect a girl like her to want you when she doesn't know you want her too A lady, a lover, a sister, a mother Who's gonna let me know what I should do Why don't you let yourself go so she can let herself come to you I've waited so long Girl set yourself free And take your chances with me I've started my song A sweet melody C'mon and sing it with me A young girl, a dreamer, to wrap 'round my finger I can't expect a girl like her to wait for me to tell her what she means to me I held back for too long The song ends and she's gone I got to learn to let myself be free Then I can let myself go so she can let herself come to me I've waited so long Girl set yourself free And take your chances with me I've started my song A sweet melody C'mon and sing it with me

Well, I woke up sweating surely on a kitchen floor in Charlottenburg Wondering if I had seen that scene before The one I can’t forget unless my body stops breathing You were there, but no one else in the room was laughing You made me remember my dream And then I start to wake up and realize that I am better off off I dipped my feelings in light and now I can’t go back to sleep You made me remember my dream The one where I stand out and speak free I want to run out in the streets, tell the grass, tell the morning dew that I feel something new, that I’m feeling renewed And though I wanna start a scene I remember it’s four in the morning So, no, I won’t intervene I will stay awake and dream You made me remember my dream

Surf's Up 03:55
A diamond necklace played the pawn Hand in hand some drummed along, oh To a handsome man and baton A blind class aristocracy Back through the opera glass you see The pit and the pendulum drawn Columinated ruins domino Canvass the town and brush the backdrop Are you sleeping? Hung velvet overtaken me Dim chandelier awaken me To a song dissolved in the dawn The music hall a costly bow The music all is lost for now To a muted trumpeter swan Columinated ruins domino Canvass the town and brush the backdrop Are you sleeping, Brother John? Dove nested towers the hour was Strike the street quicksilver moon Carriage across the fog Two-Step to lamp lights cellar tune The laughs come hard in Auld Lang Syne The glass was raised, the fired rose The fullness of the wine, the dim last toasting While at port adieu or die A choke of grief heart hardened I Beyond belief a broken man too tough to cry Surf's up Aboard a tidal wave Come about hard and join The young and often spring you gave I heard the word Wonderful thing A children's song
6.
Well, I hope that I don't fall in love with you 'Cause falling in love just makes me blue Well, the music plays and you display your heart for me to see I had a beer and now I hear you calling out for me And I hope that I don't fall in love with you Well, the room is crowded, people everywhere And I wonder, should I offer you a chair? Well, if you sit down with this old clown, take that frown and break it Before the evening's gone away, I think that we could make it And I hope that I don't fall in love with you Well, the night does funny things inside a man These old tomcat feelings you don't understand Well, I turn around to look at you, you light a cigarette I wish I had the guts to bum one, but we've never met And I hope that I don't fall in love with you I can see that you are lonesome just like me And it being late, you'd like some company Well, I turn around to look at you, and you look back at me The guy you're with, he's up and split, the chair next to you's free And I hope that you don't fall in love with me Now it's closing time, the music's fading out Last call for drinks, I'll have another stout Well, I turn around to look at you, you're nowhere to be found I search the place for your lost face, guess I'll have another round And I think that I just fell in love with you
7.
Am I gonna beat this drum forever I’m in my way, bound to my polite charade everyday Never gonna learn that age old lesson An old time friend told me I’ll be swept away in the end I’m not gonna leave you now I said I’m not gonna leave you now But the tiny pitter patters of my heart, they don’t say why And you’ve been a gracious host this winter To let me in Kept me from the ice and the rain and the wind And I gotta ask that stupid question Are you all in Constant strangers all the time coming in I’m not gonna leave you now I said I’m not gonna leave you now But the tiny pitter patters of my heart, they don’t say why
8.
Well, East Coast girls are hip I really dig those styles they wear And the Southern girls, with the way they talk They knock me out when I'm down there The Midwest farmers' daughters really make you feel all right And the Northern girls, with the way they kiss They keep their boyfriends warm at night I wish they all could be California I wish they all could be California I wish they all could be California girls The West Coast has the sunshine And the girls all get so tanned I dig a French bikini on Hawaiian island dolls By a palm tree in the sand I been all around this great big world And I seen all kinds of girls Yeah, but I couldn't wait to get back in the States Back to the cutest girls in the world I wish they all could be California I wish they all could be California I wish they all could be California girls

I wish I know why love is so unkind I wish I know why I have you on my mind It's got to be love 'cause I seldom see you I must be sad with love and I want to hear from you You have always been my one desire, my one desire Oh lady, you set my heart on fire Lady of mine I will spend my life waiting for you Lady of mine I will give my soul to be with you And I pray with time you will make my dreams come true Lady of mine I love, I love you You have always been my one desire, my one desire Oh lady, you set my heart on fire Lady of mine I will spend my life waiting for you Lady of mine I will give my soul to be with you And I pray with time you will make my dreams come true Lady of mine I love, I love you

about

As we have changed throughout our 8 years as a band, our songwriting process has changed in parallel. Our first EP was a collection of 6 songs, written and recorded over the course of 2 or 3 months. We were a fresh band looking for and creating our sound from scratch; we were experimenting with what we liked and feeling out how our two different tastes could meld together.

In many ways the creation of our latest album, “Pastimes,” was antithetical to our original approach. Our songs are now sculpted from various fragments we have collected over years, and our two individual songwriting styles have grown increasingly entangled towards a singular mind. Working as a duo now feels like working as a single entity, and working alone can be suffocating.

To keep things fresh, we like to record covers of other songs we love. By learning the intimacies of another’s song and feeling through the nooks and crannies of a new songwriter’s approach to the craft, we are able to grow as a band. It’s a chance to see what parts of various approaches do (or do not) mix with our own style. One thing we have found that did work well with our sound was collaborating with singer and cellist Cristina Muñoz. Our first time working together with Cristii was in Summer 2021, on a cover of Joe Tossini’s Lady of Mine, and Cristina then went on to become an integral part of the arrangements on “Pastimes.”

Over the years we’ve amassed a little library of covers (sometimes recorded for a benefit compilation, sometimes just for the fun of the process) and we’ve decided it might be nice to share a selection of these recordings with you. They’re far from perfect, but are still valuable to us. Who knows, they might be of some value to you as well.

Finally, a big thank you to Eliana for letting us use her beautiful drawing for the cover of this little release.
Happy holidays!
