about

When you miss the connection but gain your soul back.

lyrics

Here’s a soundtrack for a romantic night
with any man you choose – no questions asked
You can safely make love to this tune
as long as you’re not haunted by the past
It’s a gift from me to you my love – a forget-me-not in song
To help you through the night with him, ‘til the next one comes along

The moon is my mistress
and you were her rival
And now I’ve learned not to get burned
as a function of survival
I don’t think it ended
a moment too soon
I won’t cry for the sunset
when I’m just that much closer to the moon.

It may sound like I’m not over you
Believe me though, that’s so far from the truth
‘Cause bitterness comes easily
To a heart this mired in foolish untamed youth
its defense is priceless to the things that I hold dear
so put your hand in his, my love – forget I was ever here

The moon is my mistress
and you were her rival
And now I’ve learned not to get burned
as a function of survival
I don’t think it ended
a moment too soon
I won’t cry for the sunset
when I’m just that much closer to the moon.

Hi. I’m Andrew. I play keyboards. I also sing. Occasionally, I do both together. What does that sound like?

Imagine Ben Folds, Joe Jackson and the members of Death Cab for Cutie meeting at a party and forming a supergroup. Divide that by 7. If Ben's train leaves the station at 3:30, how much fuel will it have burned by the time it’s passed Joe’s house? Wait, what were we talking about again? ... more
