lyrics

I wanted to wake up to you singing, singing. To meet the dawn with you, singing, singing. The soundtrack of the morning of the day, I wanted you to sing me, sing me on my way. I wanted to go to work to you singing, singing. To task or toil with you singing to me, singing, singing. My burdens lightened by the spirit of your song, I wanted you to sing me, sing me all day long. From some forgotten belfry, a sweet bell starts ringing faintly at twilight in silver accompaniment to your singing. I wanted to come home to you singing, singing. To know there’s a place where you will be singing, singing. But also to know your song makes a home of anywhere. Wherever I hear your song, I’m already there. I wanted to fall asleep with you singing, singing, a child again after lights out with singing, singing. To let go of all my waking fun and play and let dreams continue the songs we sang today. And while the best medicine may be in your laughter, it’s your singing that’s our happily ever after. And because you sang for me, I never feared you’d go away because like a song, I knew you’d always stay. And if I could give you anything today, I wish I could sing you, sing you on your way.

Beautiful and charming songs, beautifully and charmingly done. There's a feeling that everything was made with a joyful collective spirit. "Neath the Streetlights" is an all-time great closing track. The New Birds of America

Song Demos
by The Beekeepers

As someone with "endless spiral notebooks", the first track grabbed me immediately. These are demos in the best sense: sketches that retain their immediacy, wit and energy. The New Birds of America
