Without Me 03:06
The way through Phoenix It felt like a movie We were just two kids Acting the part A caffeine heartache A new beginning The dreaded thought that this Could be the start of something that we can't stop And I swore to the man who pulled the strings That you'd be better off Without me Without me Without me Burning pictures Sweeping up the ashes With love on the trigger We just had to laugh But in late September The glass was empty again Those city lights warmed my bones While you sat restless and all alone And I swore to the man who pulls the strings That you'd be better off Without me Without me Without me

Lately I 03:23
Lately I see things I've never seen Lately I walk slower than before Words I know sound so new to me And all my new thoughts seem so used I say goodnight to myself and I close my eyes You won't hear me say I'd change a thing Lately I see what you saw in me Babe and that's not much to see I'm learning to live I'm learning to live I'm learning to live Without you now Lately I can't get past what used to be If these wall could talk what would they say Well you don't want to hear what they'd say anyway No you don't want to hear what they'd say anyway

Love Is All Around (free) 03:46
The first steps of a child Where the sky meets the sea It's holding too long To jeans without knees It's following footsteps So a name can live on It's never believing you've waited too long It's climbing a mountain It's swimming with sharks It's leaving a light on So he can see when it's dark It's up before sunrise To get out to the barn It's a sticky-note reminder With a smile and a heart We're all here for a while Then given back to the Earth The impossible measure Of this life and it's worth Remember to notice If you're world's crumbling down Love is all around You can hear it in the morning As the breeze sweetly sings It's the in-laws at Christmas A big, wet kiss from Aunt Louise It's being forced to stand up To defend what is yours It's even somewhere in war We're all here for a while Then given back to the Earth The impossible measure Of this life and it's worth Remember to notice If your world's crumbling down Love is all around It's written on pages It's in tears falling down Love is all around There's no need to search It can always be found

Fire is red My thoughts lie dead Seeing is believing With eyes on the ceiling I want to build a nest inside your soul Pull the curtains back so all will know I've got that Sunday feeling again I've got that Sunday feeling again Still is a sound With our hands bound The first of January Was hotter than the fourth of July Search for the crease in a wordless lie Trust the mask I face when bullets fly I've got that Sunday feeling again I've got that Sunday feeling again I've got that Sunday feeling again I've got that Sunday feeling again

I see you Yeah you're smiling My arms are crossed baby I'm not smiling Your face reads like a well-written page Yeah I've got colors in my closet I just prefer to wear gray Now I feel it in my toes Walking in my shoes Written on my eyes I see it Clear as glass The moment has passed and now I'm just stuck here singing these Ticket-taker blues Ticket-taker blues I want to ride I want to ride too Ticket-taker blues Ticket-taker blues I want to ride Mama I want to ride too I see you Yeah you're laughing Look at me baby I'm not laughing I'm patiently dying smoking my cigarette You said, "I dig your T-shirt." Yeah well I know what that meant now I Wear it on my clothes It's wearing on my soul It's in my blood I feel it Running through my veins Pumping the same As it was when I first heard these

Faultline 03:57
Retro fit stapled down Matte finish lights of town Situation null and void Parking lot a splendid noise Growing weary bad checks Love in April Goddamn cigarettes Hand me down a favorite line Dead garden in the knick of time I count my blessings on a fault line I count my blessings on a fault line While she's up there flying High above the trees Looking down on everything Manhattan summer bad dream Stolen car runs on kerosene Tearful ending it's no surprise Under seat underwear girl dry your eyes Mysterious angel Please train me to see The opportunities in front of me If I catch it in my hand I promise I won't squeeze So tightly I kill the dream Classy lady chicken run Blind child a loaded gun 1963 An unfortunate mystery Forget Paris open door Skip 3 on to World War 4 Dreadful weather it's safe to say I didn't need your headaches anyway I count my blessings on a fault line I count my blessings on a fault line I count my blessings on a fault line I count my blessings on a fault line While she's up there flying High above the trees She's up there flying Looking down on everything

about

Recorded at Primary Sound Studios live in Bloomington, In with majority of The Strangers as the backing band, this album came together with ease and beauty. We played 2 shows together before deciding we needed to hit the studio to document the moment. I'm proud of the album and give so many thanks to Matt Lundquist, Mark Minnick, Dennis Furr, Jason Payton, Pat Kane, and Abby Prather for sharing pieces of themselves to give life to these 6 songs.

about

Gus Moon Bainbridge, Indiana

As true to himself as Gus Moon can seem, when pick hits string and he pulls that first lyric up from his gut, he transforms. A Gus Moon show is as much a séance as it is a musical experience, as he melds personal experience, troubled characters, and often more-troubling narratives into many of his songs. He becomes the persona of the songs, like an actor might embody a role. -Patrick Barcus ... more
