about

a song about Joe Reyes. his big smile and heart is at the center of all of our songs.

lyrics

side by side we stood you held a smile
ear to ear it bled for such a long while
heart upon yer sleeve turn it out
facing down the coyness of the now

you are at the heart of melody
place yer finger on middle c
and press it

once you talked non-stop so many hours
twenty-two from salt lake to amarillo
beatles elliott all yer music
granular affection for the song

leaving out the notes just a whisper
add an ounce of love and the decision
to forgo it

question: what did your parents teach you about relationships and what would you like to forget?
answer: they taught me to love everyone. and i try
question: how?
answer: you don’t judge. the most important part is to not think anything about that. they thought love is the answer.

gonna press it now
it’s time

i’m present now
this time

it’s your cinnamon mind
it’s your stereo life
forever

i’m gonna press it now
it’s time
