I've learned my lesson, you write it all down. You take what you can get, cause it might not come back around. I stepped on some broken glass, holding my earrings and photographs of who I've left behind. They say it's all tongue and cheek, but what does that really mean? And I like the kind of birds that fly, so very high. And I'm out the door and in through a window.

Old Piano 03:43
Verse 1: Little bird turns into a big bird on the double. You've got these gears you turn and I think that I'm in trouble. Remember that old piano that sits in the back.

And I say you're not so bad yourself. Verse 2: I will sit here till my feet go numb in the corner. Clap your hands and sing for me, yeah. And now I play the guitar that my uncle use to play. And it's all in my head and now what was I gonna say? Chorus 2: Sing in front of the TV, yeah. And would you stand still for me to see. And you say I'm such a good person, oh yeah. And I say you're not so bad, not so bad. Bridge: Sing in front of the TV, yeah. And would you stand still for me to see. And you say I'm such a good person, oh yeah.

I got a blank face to you, but to them they can see me wink. Chorus 2: Cause some how you've changed, or maybe I'm not gonna play your games. Verse 3: And this song it might sound cliché, but you can forget yourself just the same. Chorus 3: Cause some how you've changed, cause baby I'm not gonna play your games.

Gift 04:46
Verse 1: People have questions that nobody knows the answers to. They sit in their big rooms, on even more important afternoons. It's bad to think of what she'd be like if she were still alive, but still I try to think about what she would be like now. Words are hard to come by, but when they're there, when they're there it will be time to share. Laughter comes from understanding one another. Chorus 1: Whooo! Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Verse 2: These days a hug would be a gift. Even if it's all I would ever be able to afford to give We think too much about where we live.

Cause there's never ever, ever gonna be a me and you. Verse 2: So when you decide that you're going to leave, I just thought you should know that you'll be taking a part of me. And when It comes to loving you this is how it goes. I'm stuck wondering how you didn't even know. Chorus 2: And what am I gonna do to not be so hung up baby on you?

about

A labor of love 3 years in the making, Bedford to Bellemeade was self recorded at Joe's house every Sunday from March 2013 through December 2013. The album art was conceptualized from passing around music video ideas and playing off of recurring imagery sang throughout the album. Aaron Tanner of Melodic Virtue then brought this concept to light by creating the surrealistic imagery that decorates the album's cover.

This album is dedicated to Shannan Reed and Kevin Grider.
When I stopped searching, I was finally able to see you in my own face, hands, movements, and laughter.
