about

Believe it or not, every musician, no matter how much love is in their heart and in their music, faces naysayers, adversity, and most commonly—inherent to the trade—financial hardship. Our 2nd track on the album, "Rust," is about the musician’s search for meaning in the long, futile grind that it is to look for bandmates and write material and gig and pass auditions and practice musicianship. It’s homage to the literal blood, sweat, and tears of a musician’s journey, and the resolve that inevitably is steeled so much that it becomes, invariably, obstinate, difficult, obsessive—so steeled that it rusts.

lyrics

RUST
Picture me with my record player
I sit in the window listening
Can you hear the lost time
Can you hear the tape his beckoning?

Your bloody hands, and calloused fingers…In the end, it’s all a waste of time
But I won’t stop till the strings rust off

Pierce the smoke with my song
Scrawl the words on an empty page
I can’t stop to think of consequences
Let the pain make me whole again

My bloody hands, and calloused fingers…Ice my wrists, and utter promises
But I can’t stop till the strings rust off

By the time I know you I’m gone
In the shadow of every player
I climb down from the hilltop baby
I let the rhythm carry me away

My empty hands, a voiceless prison…In the end, it’s all a waste of time
In your heart of hearts, there’s something missin…Just try again, with your empty promises
I won’t stop till the strings rust off
I won’t stop…
Once again
