lyrics

When I take a ride where my bike wants me to go,
we’re watching the police man as we slowly drink a Coke.
Then when the time has come, we're taking the long way home,
racing to beat the sunlight home from New Baltimore.

At the carnival in the city by the bay,
The tractors had training wheels, so I lied about my age.
South of the avenue but east are our neighbors to the north,
I swear that’s where I found New Baltimore.

New Baltimore

I was a fisherman, but the fish, they flew away.
Painting the anchor red where the Tars come out to play,
it doesn’t matter now if I made it through the ranks.
I was there before it sank in New Baltimore.

I know the history of the harbor all the way.
It’s not what it used to be, not yet what it is going to be.
The moon never looked so big over the water tower
I swear that’s where I found New Baltimore.

New Baltimore

I will look for you where my bike want me to go.
We’re watching the setting sun as we slowly drink a Coke.
Then when the time has come, I’ll take the long way home again,
racing to beat the sunlight home from New Baltimore.

New Baltimore

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
