about

Lullabye. Also, an easter egg.

lyrics

All the twinkling candles light the moon
The universe looks down on you and smiles
Darling child, it’s time you rested
When the crickets creep and the owls hoot,
Put on your pajama suit and climb
Right into your Nemo vessel

And if the nip of nightfall chomps a chilling bite
I’ll toss another blanket on and tuck you in tight

Sleep my darling child
There’s plenty more to tackle come the morning
Sleep my darling child
Night night, and remember that I love you

If you want to soar across the sky
All you have to do is close your eyes
Make believe that you’re the sparrow
You’re the ruler of your very dreams
And in it, you can be anything
Tell me all about it tomorrow

And if those fantasies turn into nasty fright
I’ll be right here and I’ll never leave your side

Sleep my darling child
There’s plenty more to tackle come the morning
Sleep my darling child
Night night, and remember that I love you

You’re the sweetest honey pear I’ve seen
Nestled up within a gentle sleep
It’s no wonder that we love you.

Formed in 2006, it primarily focuses on pop-hooks with a strong emphasis on vocals and narrative lyrics, garnering comparisons to the Pixies, the Decemberists, and Hawksley Workman.

The new album is called "Thirtysomething" - available August of 2012. ... more
