about
Recorded and mixed by Bob Hoag at Flying Blanket recording in Mesa, Arizona over two days in November, 2011.
Everything tracked on a 1978 Neve 8078 console, using a 1940's RCA 44DX ribbon microphone.
All songs recorded live in one take, no edits, no overdubs, just me and a 1948 Gibson J-45 acoustic guitar.
All songs mixed to analog tape.
lyrics
"The Graveyard of The Atlantic" Lyrics and Music - Kristopher Roe
The Chesapeake below these fumbled hands and nervous smiles.
We medicate and stumble to find the courage to talk aloud.
In the streetlight silhouette these neon halos shines so bright.
While the radio cried "Young Hearts be Free Tonight!"
So tell me how'd we end here?
We all want to feel something even if it’s only for a moment.
Tell me what happened to our dreams we had when we were young?
We’re never looking back.
Tonight, these echoes of our lives
Are calling out don’t surrender, don’t surrender.
Tonight, these jukebox 45s
Are calling out don’t surrender, don’t surrender.
Well, I am just a bit part in this movie of your life
While the night brigade roll on out on highway 95.
We’re carving out our lives on these counterfeit guitars,
While the ghosts of our past ring down the boulevard.
So tell me, how'd we end here?
We all want to feel something, If it’s only for a moment.
Tell me, what happened to our dreams we had when we were young?
We’re never looking back now.
Tonight, these echoes of our lives
Are calling out don’t surrender, don’t surrender.
Tonight, sad songs and whiskey nights
Are calling out don’t surrender, don’t surrender.
We grew up chasing sunsets, now we both just shut our eyes.
We were young and oh so bold, and torn apart by county lines
Tonight, these echoes of our lives
Are calling out don’t surrender, don’t surrender.
Tonight, from the basements and the dives
We’re calling out don’t surrender, don’t surrender.
