about

The song is called "Between the Lines." I started writing the song a couple of years ago. The final production came to me one night this year during an 80s dance party at my friends' restaurant / bar, Jackleg. RIP!!!

I was dancing and listening to the 80s hits and realized I needed to put something out that gave me that same feeling!

So, I promptly asked my brother to help me with the production. Mason is a multi-talented dude. His main work is videography and podcasting, but he makes awesome 80s inspired dance music. We recorded this thing in about 2 hours.

lyrics

I'm always looking for signs
Am I driving fine or am I rolling right by
True as it may seem to you
I'll be moving slow but I'm biding my time
I'm always running real fast
Running from the past trying to grapple with the fact that the
Future's alway moments away
What you do next might affect the landscape

Did I fly right by
Did I miss my time
Did I stop to read between the lines
Did I fly right by
Did I miss my time
Did I stop to read between the lines

I'm always tending to the fire
Rolling through the coals trying to stoke my desire
When the whole fire burns down
I'll be in the clouds no longer dust on the ground
No longer dust on the ground
No longer dust on the ground

Did I fly right by
Did I miss my time
Did I stop to read between the lines
Did I fly right by
Did I miss my time
Did I stop to read between the lines
Did I fly right by
Did I miss my time
Did I stop to read between the lines
Did I fly right by
Did I miss my time
Did I stop to read between the lines
