Out 04:16
we were two of many who got out to hear the bells and I dreamed of showing you what I could do that I could ring the bells myself so I followed the lantern into the dark behind his hard light waded into the water that reflected the white of my own eyes as the river took the shape of my face something turned me away, I had to get up I went out down into the night to shake off all of my dreams to wake up somewhere strange to see and to be seen and I met the hero of the old dream but i watched him leave. i lost his hand. he's away on the middle path. so the hero took the shape of my face and a blessed wind of gifts was whipping at my back so i went out and found you the ones i could not leave behind and I've been able to climb the mount with your hands on my back and I'm known to roll like a sinking stone down to the river I know the love i lost trying to touch the sun broke the shining spell of the dream now I wash my hands in a drying stream (come.)

Medic 05:51
maybe I'm a medic I've come dressed in white with no other agenda but to ease your troubled mind so breathe with me slowly let me dress the wound no one is coming to get us no man from out under the moon I'm no longer the night, no longer the night I let go of the lie I let go of the lie I'm staying inside I'm staying inside for now, forever for I was drowning in the black river in projections in the mirror in a neurotic affiliation with the cirumstance of my station I was the doctor and the patient and the sofa and the blankets I was cultivating patience without any moral cause I was looking for control but only over my own thoughts I had lost my mind maybe im a medic with a song in the wind hear me in the branches regretting what i did I let go of the night i'm no longer the night I was loving the lie I was out of my mind just having a time just having a time out getting wasted doing stupid shit i hate spending money making enemies singing shit i'd never say smoking cigarettes with naked strangers and then walking home at dawn I was lying to myself thinking the fire came from someone else

It was almost three years ago all was all unsure I went out just to meet ya you were open beyond compare I think that you really cared I think you knew mattered what mattered most you put me in the window you put me in the sun you showed me what was happening to everyone I took your hand to the City Dance

Hold It Back 04:07
he said what he needed to say to get himself up onto the stage pulled the cotton curtain away and taunted the ocean beyond waited for a friend to say you don't know what you're messing with you don't know what you're messing with, man. please don't make a mess of this. If you see me drifting away pinch me bring me back to the room let me hear the key you're in so i can sing along with you if you're breathing the dark wind leave it at the door and come in i've breathed enough of that and I fear I'm a part of it yeah I might be a part of that the crashing wave of black that smashes the stoney cove who's gonna light the stove, and hold back the wild dark? something's gone wrong again and we've taken the evening into the deep end and that's the end of that
5.
Does the foggy drone of the east coast call you back home are the winters in the gta easier to face? i aint saying you done wrong but when you left you took your song and the choir is falling out of tune when a golden son rang the bells we were all relieved the bastards could not grind us down there was no need to leave a congregation of sparks holding back the dark so the stars and the hearts and the moons would all align The party changed when the new crow came with a pretty song and and a speeding heart said he loved our sisters each for a night some were wearing white as the golden sun set in the west
6.
Oh that preacher down by the river said i'm gonna give you a song the rain is gonna get you the wind is gonna pull you along I'd love to come with you but I'm here in the garden here by the river i know and I know it won't be long before the bright familiar sun comes and whitens us to one and I know it won't be long before the bright familiar sun comes and whitens us to one in the garden by the river we'll be singing Oh! There's nothing on the mountain.

Black Dot 03:37
I was running in the backwoods under the chlorine moon had long lost my ghost in the earthy breeze found myself a black hole right here on earth It was true it was real but I can feel it's worth nothing black dot headed back to the highway, to the shoulder brush looking out for the headlights I need to see some eyes I need to hear my name I need to hear a song we belong in the white far away from that black dot I'm not a black dot.
8.
Thanks for drawing the line I get carried away when there's nothing left to say so with a drink in both of my hands I'll pay attention to the band and do a dance for you as long as we're moving we'll get on through this alright so if it's late and I've lost my way I'll be taking a dip in any river than you give but it won't be long before I can offer more than this free ticket to the wind, oh no if i've nothing left to say and I cannot hold the frame and the eye turns in i'll be on my way to a softer kinder place to lay with my love i was waiting for the dream to open at the seam and wash into waves the drapes still will part in the warm magic dark of her room and mine
9.
Oh baby, don't tell me that I'm crazy just let me know you feel me when I look into your eyes cause lady, you're all I've ever wanted if only I could say it without ripping the world in two I'll be dreaming all alone on my island of gold but oh, we can be buds it's no big deal it's chill ohhh mamaa qu'est on va faire allons-y a montreal nous pourrons trouver des vrais freaks viens avec moi au depanneur s'il te plais ce soir? I'll be dreaming all alone on my island of gold but oh, we can be buds it's no big deal it's chill

Nebula 03:15
I am headed for the door I can't drift anymore there are anchors to be found in the material there is sound in the wind

about

This was recorded between the months of November 2015 and April 2016 by Green & Gold and Georgie Newman. We recorded the bed tracks in Len's family's garage, and recorded the lead vocal with Georgie at his house over the first few months of the new year. Georgie mixed and mastered the record and gave a lot to these songs. You can get in touch with him here: gnaudio.ca A full CD release with revised artwork is in the works, and we're considering doing a run of vinyl if the interest is there. If that's something you'd be interested in seeing, get in touch. We'd love to gauge the viability of something like that. Please direct any feedback or questions to greenandgoldband@gmail.com

Happy listening.
