lyrics

a crop duster flies passed a sunset in 1979
it looks like fall in the photograph
and while holding that frame,
Drew longs for the old days.

don't surrender your happiness
for the cost of comparison.

a ticket stub on his desk for every adventure attended
memories fall in the photograph
and while sitting alone
he thinks of how 10 years from now will become yesterday.

don't surrender your happiness
for the cost of comparison.
every day brings new tides,
and every season brings new life.

about

Ben Hughes New Jersey

"...channels musicians like Elliott Smith, Bright Eyes, and Sufjan Stevens, as on Hughes’ previous releases. But this record immediately calls to mind Pedro the Lion’s Control, with its deep-voiced chords and melodies, lyrical themes of corporate hell, and Hughes’ slurring voice. It could stand as a complimentary album to Control just as well as it stands on its own."

-Nick Tate, WXPN
