about

Written for Ginny Billhimer as a thanks for her Kickstarter donation. Ginny has housed and fed us numerous times. She has always been a big time PM supporter/encourager. She also happens to be Ben's mom.

We wrote and recorded most of this one night in Andrew's room. The following day we finished bass, guitar and bgv's.

Fun fact.. the tree on the album cover is the tree outside of our band house.

We like how this turned out and wanted to throw it out there.. hope you guys like it too.

lyrics

sunnyside's the place to be
under azalea trees
she'd say
came to the spring one evening
there she was singing away

we tried singing the same

give us the words to say
or let us lay down and try another day
we could stay up late
then wake up new and get along our way

then there's the day the tree fell down
the city was blackin out that night
then 3am it came and went
and with the new light we left from sight

makin what we do feel right
