Islands - brightener

http://www.facebook.com/brightenermusic

I had to deal with cheesy iMovie transitions, sorry. This song will be on the brightener EP, coming out Feb 2012.

I want to acknowledge Peter Johnson for mastering the track. And here is a link to all of the videos (and their owners). I want to thank them all for being such a perfect fit for the music. And all of the videos are worth watching on their own (the yosemite one is amazing).

LYRICS:
I drove to the winner's estate
with a sash on my arm
in the car
and the snow falling down

While i planned my greatest escape
the driver won't know
in the snow

And all my time
I find my mind fly
To islands of silence
I'll sing till morning

I plowed through the snowy charade
till the snow on the ground
turned to brown
and the clouds went their way

horizons and still golden lakes
oh i'll make it somehow

silence and gold

i've been wondering
if I should fight but I'll flee
i've been travelling
for miles and miles
