lyrics

I woke up this morning with the paper by my side,
I was staring at the headline; another friend gone by.
I said baby don’t you weep.
I've got miles to go before I'll sleep.

Everybody keeps looking up to me.
I’m no hero. I never tried to be.
There’s appointments left to keep
and miles to go before I sleep.

I got a telephone call to settle up a debt.
It was old Saint Peter. He said, “I think it’s time we met.”
I said baby don’t you weep.
I've got miles to go before I'll sleep.

Extended Play
by Chris Oliver

This is the latest release by prolific multi-instrumentalist Chris Oliver. EXTENDED PLAY is a great cross section of power pop and psychedelia. Start with "Marsh" and see if you ever stop listening. HVL

On My Way Out
by Sails

Sails are a delightful band from Berwyn. Check out "The Forecast" or the title track from ON MY WAY OUT for a neat blast of retro nostalgia and tidy, clever songwriting. HVL

Soul Sister
by ILLUMNTR

I fell in love with the track "You are Overgown" when Bryn Austin Bellomy submitted it as part of National Solo Album Month in 2010. Since then, his Brooklyn-based group ILLUMNTR has really taken off. HVL
