You’re adventurous and curious
And wonder what the top of every mountain looks like
I follow you to great heights
We could hang out anywhere
But you wanna hang out up there
So I follow you through woods and tides
Down in the earth, up to the skies
we battle Giants together
If you move, I move,
If you move I move
one two one two one
One two one two three four
We battle Giants forever
they'll always be Giants, thats true
Thank God, it's my favorite thing to do
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
You're intelligent and reverent
And you make me laugh with a single side of your eye
I can read your mind
And we could hang out anywhere
But you wanna hang out up there
So I follow you through woods and tides
Down in the earth, up to the skies
We battle Giants together
If you move, I move,
If you move, I move,
One two one two one
One two one two three four
We battle Giants forever
They'll always be Giants, that’s true
Thank God, it's my favorite thing to do
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
When I think about you
I think about faith and youth
Future us and art and love and truth
You gorgeous soul
You're like a singing bowl
With wild and mystical energy in it
Beauty comes out, don't know how you did it
Better and better with age
Soothing us all like a sage
We battle Giants together
If you move, I move,
If you move, I move,
One two one two one
One two one two three four
We battle Giants forever
They'll always be Giants, that’s true
Sing it with me now you know what to do
We battle Giants together
If you move, I move,
If you move, I move,
One two one two one
One two one two three four
We battle Giants forever
They'll always be Giants, that’s true
Thank God, it's my favorite thing to do

Now Is The Time

Come a little ways and sing a little prayer with me
Not for some old deity or for a future to be
But for the music that is passing right before us
Blink and you will miss it before you even glimpse it it’s gone
But if you take up the song you’ll hear it echoin on and on!
NOW! is the time for magic
NOW! is the time for listening
And all our heartbeats quickening
For anything, you can think,
Anything that you believe in
NOW! is the moment shimmering
And all our eyes are glistening
And you and I can listen in to
All that happens NOW!
Leave all of your laws your caveats and clauses behind
See what a silence can find ———
Take in some air before you wear your thin excuses,
You’ll scare the Modern Muses
You could try to find a reason OR Steep in the season of NOW
And be the WHAT not the HOW Don’t take the easy way OUT
NOW! is the time for magic
NOW! is the time for listening
And all our heartbeats quickening
For anything, you can think,
Anything that you believe in
NOW! is the moment shimmering
And all our eyes are glistening
And you and I can listen in to
All that happens NOW!
Choose to sing or not to sing don’t fear being freer
Choose to sing or not to sing don’t fear — you’re here!
NOW! is the time for magic
NOW! is the time for listening
And all our heartbeats quickening
For anything, you can think,
Anything that you believe in
NOW! is the moment shimmering
And all our eyes are glistening
And you and I can listen in to
All that happens NOW!
Is the time for magic
NOW! is the time for listening
And all our heartbeats quickening
For anything, you can think,
Anything that you believe in
NOW! is the moment shimmering
And all our eyes are glistening
And you and I can listen in to
All that happens NOW!

Hurricane

Stormclouds on the horizon
I feel my eyes grow wild again
The blood and heat is rising
The wind is whispering warning
See how the skies are turning
We may not see the morning
O-o-oh I, I’m not sleeping tonight
O-o-oh, I can’t keep it inside
Not this time, not this time, not this time…
I was meant to meet you
I was meant to meet you
I was meant to meet you in the eye
I was meant to meet you
I was meant to meet you
I was meant to meet you in the eye of the hurricane
And now the rain is summoned
The ancient waves are coming
And heavy hearts are drumming
They told us run for cover
Stay close to home and mother
Don’t seek out any other
Oh I, I’m going into the night
Oh I, I can’t keep it inside
Not this time not this time not this time…
I was meant to meet you
I was meant to meet you
I was meant to meet you in the eye
I was meant to meet you
I was meant to meet you
I was meant to meet you in the eye of the hurricane
Oooooooh, Ooooooh
I was meant to meet you
I was meant to meet you
I was meant to meet you in the eye
I was meant to meet you
I was meant to meet you
I was meant to meet you in the eye
I was meant to meet you
I was meant to meet you
I was meant to meet you in the eye of the hurricane

Spellbound

Spellbound, you got me spellbound
Misdirection, smoke and mirrors, illusional games
Spellbound, you got me spellbound
I’m looking at you and I don’t even know my own name
The last thing I knew I was leaving my glass on the mantle
Following a mysterious man with a candle
I said I don’t know what kind of sweet talking charmer you are
But the fog’s rolling in and I’m feeling intrigued but bizarre
Spellbound,
You got me spellbound
Misdirection, smoke and mirrors, illusional games
Spellbound
You got me spellbound
I’m looking at you and I don’t even know my own name
The last thing I knew I was winning at my hand of poker
And the prize of the night was an onyx and emerald choker
I turned to you and said “Can you believe this luck?”
You said “Darling it’s just the beginning of all of this magical mystery stuff”
Oh, Spellbound,
You got me spellbound
Misdirection, smoke and mirrors, illusional games
Spellbound
You got me spellbound
I’m looking at you and I don’t even know my own name
The last thing I knew I went out for a look at the moon
And she whispered to me “Never trust and enchanter too soon”
But I turned away to go find you and say
“I will leave myself behind”
But all that was left of you was smoke, and a half drunken bottle of wine
Oh, Spellbound, you got me spellbound
Misdirection, smoke and mirrors, illusional games
Spellbound, you got me spellbound
I’m looking at you and I don’t even know my own name

The look in your eyes, honey
World-weary and wise, honey
They look to the skies for help
But nobody’s there darlin
No one’s takin’ your prayer darlin
And the troubles you got, you got no one to tell
So lay your burden down
And talk to me, just talk to me, my sweet
I wanna Sing
I wanna Sing you to sleep
Lay down your worries
Roll out to sea
I wanna Hold
Hold you oh so sweet
Give you a reason
To breathe a little easy
You’ve made yourself small honey
Yeah, you been through it all honey
But don’t put up those walls, try to keep me out
I know it’s hard darlin
To let down your guard darlin
And I know I can’t change what’s a-bringin you down, so down
But here it’s just you and me
Let me give you comfort please,
That’s all I need, my sweet
I wanna Sing
I wanna Sing you to sleep
Lay down your worries
Roll out to sea
I wanna Hold
Hold you oh so sweet
Give you a reason
To breathe a little easy
I wanna Hope
I wanna Hope that you know
That when you’re with me
You’ll be at home
I wanna Hold
Hold you oh so sweet
Give you a reason
To breathe a little easy
So I’m gonna sing
I’m gonna Sing you to sleep
Lay down your worries, and roll out to sea

When I get down
I go all the way down
Lookin out for angels
Underneath the ground
ahhh
When I get blue
I go all the way blue
Dive into the ocean
Searching for the truth
Ooo
She comes to me with poems
in her outstretched hand
She brightens me with
sunlight in her eyes
She weaves a dream and makes me see
And understand
All the wonderment of being alive
Oh she’s the queen
She reigns gold over everything
She’s the queen
She helps me sing
All the songs in my soul
All the words I’d never know
I had in me
She sets them free
She’s the queen
Ba Ba Baaaaaa
When i blame it on the clouds
Getting darker as the world turns south
She smiles at me and points the silver lining out
ahhh
When i rage against the moon
For bringing daylight to an end too soon
She comforts me until the dawn with sunny little tunes
Oooo
She comes to me with poems
in her outstretched hand
She brightens me with
sunlight in her eyes
She weaves a dream and makes me see
And understand
All the wonderment of being alive
Oh she’s the queen
She reigns gold over everything
She’s the queen
She helps me sing
All the songs in my soul
All the words I’d never know
I had in me
She sets them free
She’s the queen
Ba Ba Baaaaaa
Oh she’s the queen
She reigns gold over everything
She’s the queen
She helps me sing
All the songs in my soul
All the words I’d never know
I had in me
She sets them free
She’s the queen

Bandits on the Run New York, New York
Bandits on the Run are your friendly neighborhood criminals, whose sole purpose is to reinvigorate the element of surprise
by making musical mischief in unexpected places.
To your ears, these whimsical criminals will sound like a nostalgic medley of old and new: strummed, plucked, and bowed away on cello and guitar, and propped up on an old timey spine of three part harmony.

it's such a beautiful album of grieving and loss and acceptance. it speaks to a particular kind of grief -- not a grieving of one who is lost, but the grieving for one who is still present and still causing pain. i love the last song most because while it could end in pain, or end with the narrators decision to permanently push this person out of their life and that would be justified, it doesn't. instead, it offers something. what is offered? acceptance. hope. and a chance for redemption
