We’ll Make it Someday – (Scotsman/ASCAP)
In the car crash of my life I’ve been the driver
Steering blind, in every accident I’ve caused theres no survivors
I hope my passengers forgive me my mistakes
We haven’t made it to our destination yet
We still have debts to pay, but
Remember when we used to believe?
Yeah, We’ll make it someday!
Yeah, We’ll make it someday!
However desperate and marginalized, we will be childishly hopeful and blind
Yeah, We’ll make it someday!
Through all the wreckage and the messes we’ve been through
I’ve been your navigator, calmly guiding, sitting next to you
So don’t you take all of the credit or the blame
We still have plenty more mistakes to make I wouldn’t want it any other way
Remember when we used to believe?

The Fountain – (Scotsman/ASCAP)
Give me a drink of water
To cool my tongue
It’s been far too long to be thirsty and
Far too short to be numb
Give me your shame
I will breathe it all into my lungs
And when I exhale
You will know what it’s like to be loved
So come, come drink from the fountain
Feel the cool water rush in
Come, come drink from the fountain
You’ll never be thirsty again
Give me the peace
That’s missing inside my soul
‘Cause I’ve been waiting for years holding on
Just to find that I’ve got to let go
You drink all you can but you cant get enough
You hold on to promises that were promised without love
So when you’ve decided that you’ve had enough
I will be here at the well
Waiting to fill you up

Every Second –(Scotsman/ASCAP)
A woman on a plane sitting next to me says it’s a terrible thing to get old
I asked her why, she said because you die and one piece at a time you unfold
I said I feel it now at twenty-five, yeah I’ve been dying since the day I was born
But if there's still one thing worse than that
it’s dying without a warning
It’s dying without being warned
So if the cabin pressure drops and we start falling from the sky
We’ll both pray to God in the last seconds of our lives
But if we don’t die today then may this memory remain
That every second lived is worth each second of the pain
Oh flight attendant could you tell me the story of how
you gave up trying to control your fate and rescue yourself
So calm and patient you greet death every day with a smile
If today he takes you would you say that your life was worthwhile, and just smile?
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
I never dreamed this life for me but I am not afraid
At 35,000 feet I make my peace with fate
If my work here’s complete, before we hit the ground
May we sing the truth that sets us free
‘Cause every second counts

Mexico – (Scotsman/ASCAP)
What say you and me drive down the coast
We’ll take the back roads so we get close and roll the windows down so we can hear the ocean
I hope you know it’s always you I loved the most
So here’s a toast to our memories as we coast in cruise control
Don’t say it gets better than this because you never know
Yeah, lets drive this piece of junk down to Mexico
And we’ll go down to walk the sun set in to the sea
Watch it sink beneath the waves into the deep green ocean water
I swear it’s the color of your eyes
And we’ll never have to live our lives again
Yeah we don’t got no money so we’ll sleep in the car
We’ll make self portraits in the sand on the beach at the Prairie Creek State Park
Don’t say it don’t get better than this because you never know
So let’s pack what’s left of ours and head for the border
And we’ll escape the day to day
We’ll run away, We’ll run away
And we’ll escape the things we hate
We’ll run away, We’ll run away

I was 23
you were only just 18
when you returned my call
and I took you to the dance near the waterfalls
A slower song came on
I couldn't tell you what it was
but I asked you to dance, and you let me take you by the hand
as I held you close the arms of the holy ghost
wrapped us in a feeling deep and true
It hit me in the chest I felt it
wasn't the first time we had done this
I couldn't shake the wave of deja vu
because...
you are my closest friend
the love we have will never end
I never have to second guess anymore
I've found what I've been looking for
after the song when we sat down
I couldn't even make a sound
holding back a wave that I could hardly bare
you thought I didn't like you much but If I'd told you what I'd felt you probably would have turned your tail and promptly left me there
the truth is I was scared
I had found you and I wanted not to lose you again
because…
you are my closest friend
the love we have will never end
I never have to second guess anymore
I've found what I've been looking for
it's been 23
years since we both believed
and gave our lives to one another
our love grew quickly for each other
truth is I'd never change a thing
I believe one day we'll dress in white
forever we will sing…
you are my closest friend
the love we have will never end
I never have to second guess anymore
I've found what I've been looking for

Vocal Few Seattle, Washington
Matt & Kristie MacDonald make pop/folk songs that tell stories of travel & change & dreams & struggles. Life's a trip. A roadtrip.

Patterns in the Static
by The Classic Crime
supported by 39 fans who also own “She'll Be Right (10 Year Anniversary Edition)”
Each year the same story: My wife (handmade pop music) and I (black metal maniac) go on holiday. We need some "soft" but honest music for long car drives. It is a tough week in advance to dive deeply into musical scrap to find some pearls like THE CLASSIC CRIME! This album really rocks, sounding more British than American. The first seven songs plus the stormy "Cold Loud Dark" are catchy killers and this is an almost perfect result for an album. A fat pillar in this years's holiday soundtrack!

How to Be Human
by The Classic Crime
supported by 13 fans who also own “She'll Be Right (10 Year Anniversary Edition)”
Cuts deep and stays with you. There is an earnest honesty in the lyrics that pulls you in. If, like me, you thought this album was merely "good" when you listened to it the first time, give it a few more plays. You might just fall in love with it.

such bad things happen
by Levi Fuller & the Library
Turbulent indie rock from Levi Fuller & the Library that has the snarl of hardcore and the knotty meter of math rock.

Introspective, homespun folk tunes from John Donne that feel informed by the sugary bleakness of '80s and '90s indie pop.

A Mutable Feast or: The Ghost of a Flea

Lovely folk-based music with soft corners and dreamlike melodies, full of fairy-tale-like enchantment.
