Lonely Love Moon

lmgst30 Sometimes at night, I like to lie in my bed and look out the window at the bright full moon. This EP feels like that. The music is familiar yet ineffable, somehow stark yet cozy simultaneously.

This EP draws on '80s and '90s influences without sounding dated. It demonstrates Devin's versatility as a songwriter, each song with a different tone, but similar voice. The lyrics and melodies immerse the listener in a rich world, with all the heartbreak and joy that lift everyday life into the stars.

Our hands so close that they’re almost one But you pull away before the night is done You pack our dreams in a bag to leave I’m left with dust of what I wished we’d be She’s just a lovely tree with lightning scars He’s spun around in regret and needs A juggernaut of useless poetry The words don’t end to begin again He can’t be real if it’s all pretend He’s just a lovely tree with lightning scars Until next time perhaps When he carries back with him All you wished for and wished to know. Hundreds of miles ago Where are all the misfits and broken toys Where’s my relief from the background noise A bunch of strangers in a Starlite room Will be a family before the night is through Cos we’re just lovely trees with lightning scars

In a blanket of deception I meet existence with a smile I obtain my adversary In the silence of their sound I don’t think I can pretend My obsession is not my passion I can’t wait until the end To regret my last discussion When the stars are out again When attention starts to fade When the parties feel the same I’ll be lonely in a crowded room with you I’m the one that drinks my sorrows We’re the ones that look away I can dream for tomorrow But you’re the thought that wants to stay When the stars are out again When attention starts to fade When the parties feel the same I’ll be lonely in a crowded room with you I see you dancing on the edge With a wave come up behind me Should we run and be free Or let it take us out to sea When the stars are out again When attention starts to fade When the parties feel the same I’ll be lonely in a crowded room with me

Tonight this moon is not our version And the stars are hidden behind our eyes And the taste of the air is so uncertain As we wonder how long how long As we wonder how long can this go on Tonight our moon leads the nightfall And it feels the sun from the other side The journey remains so delightful As we wonder how long how long As we wonder how long can this go on Tonight our moon is in transition And the stars are a glow across the system There’s no shade in the hues of ambition As we wonder how long how long As we wonder how long can this go on Tonight, tonight Tonight, oh tonight Tonight, ah tonight As we wonder how long, how long As we wonder how long, can this go on As we wonder how long, how long As we hope it goes on, it goes on

The ghouls and artists have gone home Its the closing hour of the nightowls We sipped and dined on tragedy As much as life times could have allowed Oooo Oooo Last Vampire in Starlite Rainbow confetti in my hair I pull away from the windows The sickly sweet of melody Was it for me or just another show Oooo Oooo Last Vampire in Starlite The flower in the shadow the smile is a liar The weeds will break the sidewalk When the world is on fire The air glows a burning hell The cure is a symptom. While you are rising up I'm coming home The grind and squeak of closing doors As the memory fades to hindsight I breathe the scent that I adore I see the sun pierce the moonlight Oooo Oooo Last Vampire in Starlite

about

I wanted to make something more representational of me to have out streaming. Lonely Love Moon captures what I want my music to sound like (if I had more money and time). Moody, dark, acoustic rock with just a dash of hope.
This EP is dedicated to my friends at the Starlite Lounge. My experience at that open mic has brought me back into music and made all of this possible. I have never been included in a such a supportive group. Their laughter and spirit can be heard throughout this EP (sometimes literally).
