Cabin Fever 02:39

Iʼve been running out of room to get things ready to grow And fight this time And make for the water Donʼt you think it's high time we got bitter and abusive for the winter In a way weʼve never known? And donʼt you think agreements to abate or lessen our degree of vicious temper could just spoil the fun?

Cordova Bay 04:31
your mesmerizing length arrayed before fires we lit ourselves to stand before and face the cold and wait until a snow keep calm and carry on we’re loudly voicing British wartime songs as me and my friend wade to Ogden’s Point to watch the divers sink and wrangle over state upon return I’ve cured a restlessness that often burned but jumped the gun and left you worrying alone leave your cage for a night, and I’ll set our headaches free and I’ll set these worries free

The Observer 04:21
If you made sense, once upon a time I would soon forget and furthermore deny you were sane Although you were sweet And if you called me out for never coming home In the dead of night, Iʼd never let you know where Iʼd been Iʼll just warm the bed again I beat you to a numbing out of fingertips that used to run along your spine and level out We used to have our fun And Iʼve enjoyed apologies at least in their futility To choruses of grinding teeth Iʼll gladly set my song If you looked upon my tattered ugly thoughts One would soon observe my efforts long were lost To entice you again, to take you to that loft

There is a candle That never blows out It sits upon my mantle And whispers all my secrets To the room   I sway and flicker Toward and away from The ones I love And I sit before the fire Exposed and alone While shadows of furniture Dance around me

See - see I stand by To care or write you back Prevailing winds say not a chance And all your IV tubes Or medical attentions Won’t return negative reflections See - see I can too Make a life of words Attentions glide away from my perceptions of you My sick and worthy heart, my dear and worthy heart
8.
North 03:24
stop going north, going north for the weekend this steep slope of doubt has left you unable to stand baseball with your son in backyards, in season the stars alight the patterns of the night... south, they can gloat over power or reason but come a week off they’ll be north for the weekend brought up to intimate knowledge of trees, and the stars alight the patterns of the night...

Now you’ve found the rafter of luck Swung from its roughened surface Collapsed on the floor beside us Now where do you go from here? Never would you think to put this off, But Eden’s in the mind, and in our loft, we would reminisce of years that formed our true loves, forgetting of the need to carry on The stickiness of lust destroyed our strong flight Crash landing in a field in dead of night, Wayward spirits of the loft enjoying slow, slow time, and... What you’ve managed to stand up for Be it truth in splendid candor Be it all your small successors Be it dizzy driving home Your reflection stands in static Your reaction’s automatic You’ve managed to abuse this The rafter that brought you here Rafter of luck, of sought of dreams Keeping the captives in-between The view from this bridge must brightly gleam For those unknowing eyes

Shelter 04:27
It is custom to offer, by politeness and grace When away from the trouble Away from the darkness Away from your shelter You are justified by means, you are perfect as it were Youʼre just so worth the trouble The reckoning winds As they lead us to shelter I will stand my ground.. As the tempests overhead, prepare to break these walls I will protect and save you from the fall... It is something to wonder, as we lay ourselves here Are we seeking the best Are we bound to survive Are we venturing skyward Are you trusting in no one, are you blinded by fear As you stumble in daylight And pray for protection Like no one is listening I will stand my ground... As the tempests overhead, prepare to break these walls I will protect and save you from the fall... ...That we endure, as we struggle to live another Day as two in one. Is it hopeless, is it hopeless. It is all I can offer by politeness and grace That I keep you from trouble And lead you from darkness Let me be your shelter.
11.
often we’ll find the same line of thought and trace it together while the world grows dizzy often I’ll voice your name and entertain all the small, sweet resulting meanings you must be the living fulfillment of my dreams
12.
run amok, on poles I stand your precious head is six feet under alexander, alexander bringing back aloof and headstrong to the wind while stark and still I’ll raven over Two states in you’ll find a friend would I lose what I've held forever? alexander, alexander bringing back summons now is to the fold prayer is that this could include yourself and when this broken balloon is shuffled back in rags, I’ll sing alexander, it’s you and I’ll begin the chorus now... now... now.... “you are the living God, the one we worship day by day we stand in awe of you, the one we worship day by day”

about

SHELTER began in winter 2011 as a project between two good friends who wanted to capture some of their recent songwriting ventures as a multi-instrumental duo in the illustrious Cabin Fever Studios. As more tunes were written and time progressed, it evolved into something much more - a full-length album documenting the struggles of living with and protecting those you love and cherish.

"I will stand my ground/As the tempests overhead prepare to break these walls/I will protect and save you from the fall..."

Ultimately these tunes find their refuge in the decay of a spring reverb, the creaks of an old upright piano, the warmth of a whispered harmony - echoes of the stories contained therein.
