Sunday Sessions: "Aligning"
Available from January 29 - February 5

So I'm really excited about this new song I'm writing. I thought I'd have it done for today, but I don't. So here's an older tune that I never recorded or played in public. I wrote it while living in Taiwan and it's just barely hung on over the last two years. But I'm glad it did (and not just because it relieved the stress of trying to finish this song and allowed me to spend a fantastic couple days up at Sugarloaf).

Man. Less than two weeks until my first real Portland show since One Longfellow Square last October. I dreaded that OLS show because I was afraid no one would show up. I still have no idea what the turnout will be like, but I can't wait to be at Mayo Street in a couple weeks. Four months is way too long.

So happy to be making music,

Max

lyrics

Aligning

there are a thousand islands sprawled
over a great lake and in the fall
we camp out there you and me we're going back today
rain clouds form the tent stays warm
we like it that way

bears they come by and turn our tables over
like they're gunslinging bad guys in barroom dramas
and they leave silently when the rain starts to fall
every year bears get near
and leave with nothing at all

and every year you come in like an autumn hurricane
falling down on me as right as the rain

then in the morning smoke sits on the lake
it's october cold but the geese have stayed
and they glide overhead
perfectly
you say that could be us if we could just get in sync

we call for a ride and head back to the land
take trains different ways when we get to the station
you ride into the city
i ride toward ohio
we say let's write we might for awhile

then every year you'll come in like an autumn hurricane
falling down on me as right as the rain
