What if I fall and you miss my call Leaving me bleeding in the street What if I tried to get you untied When you were drowning in the sheet I know this isn’t rational I know you wanted casual I hear you always, always, always I hear you always, always, always What if I’m not the things that you want What if its all a little show When you figure out your reason to doubt Pulling you in the undertow I know this isn’t rational I know you wanted casual I hear you always, always, always I hear you always, always, always I feel like a spaceless cosmonaut Floating here is taking everything I’ve got I watch your lips as I try and I try to read every word you relay What did you say? I hear you always, always, always I hear you always, always, always

Warm Heart 03:42
lyrics

Well if something isn’t right We can try to knock it down Sooner or later we’ll find it hard to get around Honesty aside There must be another way As long as we leave here by morning, we can drive all day When we got there late There was a long line of people waiting I wondered why everyone was looking down Something wasn’t right x2 Please, I don’t want to run anymore Through the streets while holding a gun I tried to stop a warm heart from getting cold x2 Well I may not understand Which comes as no surprise All it takes is the look of regret you keep behind your eyes We find ourselves back here In a way that’s often told The chambers of our hearts can’t be bought and sold Well don’t look behind you We’re just a train rushing past the station I swear our wheels are running off the track Something isn’t right Please, I don’t want to run anymore Through the streets, holding a gun I tried to stop a warm heart from getting cold Please forgive me, I remember well If we make it, time can only tell From our heaven or to our living hell Please, I don’t want to run anymore Through the streets while holding a gun I tried to stop a warm heart from getting cold

Long Way Home 03:06

My crooked life just won’t fit in the lines On the highway So I take the backroads that wind on through The rolling hills I see It’s a long way home A long way home I know this life don’t share so easy That’s why what you’ll see on the seat there next to me Is just a bag with my hopes and dreams It’s a long way home A long way home I should know All the miles on these wheels are my own Please leave the light on Please leave the light on Please leave the light on Tonight It’s a long way home A long way home I should know All the miles on these feet Leaving callouses deep And i can’t wonder why I’m a hawk in the night On my own It’s a long way home

Sugar (See My Side) 03:49
lyrics

You had a long day, I don’t expect your forgiveness Sugar can’t you see my side I saw you wipe away your secret tear Been debating whether or not to tell you dear I guess you know now, or maybe you don’t You had a long day, I don’t expect your forgiveness But sugar can’t you see my side If this is your way, then I could worry less But sugar can’t you see my side Sugar won’t you see my side I saw you mouth the words to the songs that you know I took for granted the care never told, that you’d always show I guess that’s over now, or maybe it’s not You had a long day, I don’t expect a fanfare But sugar can’t you see my side If this is your way, then I could forfeit care But sugar can’t you see my side Sugar won’t you see my side Sugar please just see my side Sugar see my side

about

Luniere -Leave the Light
Songwriters Geoff Zimmerman, Jason Roman, and Calen Perkins share the spotlight on Luniere’s sophomore release, “Leave the Light”, a four song EP. This collection of recordings is the first to feature Luniere’s now full-time drummer Eric Landau, and also marks the band’s first collaboration with Jon Roods (Rustic Overtones, Armies, Paranoid Social Club) who recorded and mixed the album at his studio.
“Always” (with verses and chorus penned by Zimmerman, a bridge by Roman, and musical contributions by Perkins) kicks off the album with steady rock feel, a pre-chorus just as hooky as the chorus itself, and searing lead guitar by Perkins.
What follows is the most upbeat track, “Warm Heart” (written by Roman), which bounces along with vaulting bass and a horn section borrowed from the experimental-jazz-funk outfit Yeah Man.
“Long Way Home” (Perkins) features a more acoustic/folky tone letting the harmony vocals shine, sure to delight fans of Luniere’s signature 3-part vocal texture.
Concluding the short disc is a heartfelt gospel/country tune, reminiscent of The Band, “Sugar (See My Side)” which was written by and features lead vocals and piano by Zimmerman. “Sugar” showcases the entire ensemble with thoughtful drums by Landau, Roman’s effortless harmony vocals from the stratosphere, and a soulful guitar solo by Perkins.
Leave the Light is an impressive follow up, bringing more of the same exuberant eclecticism and cohesion fans come to expect from Luniere.
