Hunter Gatherer 03:53
lyrics
buy track
Birds fly the night hungry These days they go longing Will we survive wandering? And I don’t know that to say And I don’t know what to feel Was there anything that we know, we left was real If our instincts make us go Down a dusty nowhere road Then the evidence is all we need and get back home. Gentlemen, believe we’ll do what we must, we hunt at all cost So my friends, take heed, my hunter we trust, my hunter we trust. Dont don’t stop Every time you fall I pick you up. Audio audio, breaking up I barely know, barely know, Shaking up my radio radio, Speaking out in stereo stereo waking and and I'll..... believe. We’ll do what we must, we hunt at all cost So my friends, take heed, my hunter we trust, my hunter we trust.

Mansions 02:45
lyrics

Deep rows, these mansions Screaming of ransoms So far away I try… why Gold palms before us sad songs implore us I’m never satisfied.. why Oh won't you come and join me here someday In artificial structures we can play These echo halls can guide the path we walk what we can’t pay we fill with all the talk No we can’t help it... I sold my new years resolution to the dark Obsessing won’t bring me solution oh my heart What I can’t have is just a lesson my motivational profession Oh no, I lost my vision beyond the great expansion What’s with the indecision I’m here forever mansion So can you see me wandering great halls and vaulted ceilings Am I so underserving behold, my dawn my love, my mansion We gave, our souls Our lives, to ransoms

Magnolia 03:30
lyrics

There we stood We said we would, we said we would like woven fabric made of... Words unsaid. We paid our debt, we left unthread with swollen scarves into the night Hey, I catch you running through the streets, ah ah ah Say, I feel you catching up to meet my spirit Oh, i say we loose it all again, ah ah ah Hey, and all we wanted was to be so fearless So magnolia, where’d you go, why did you leave the soaken valley for the city light the midnight murals, the rolling hills the mezzanines we held on tight Hey, I catch you running through the streets, ah ah ah Say, You care to stand right next to me my darling? Oh, i say we loose it all again, ah ah ah Hey, just like I saw you in the very beginning Get to the motors in your feet So lost, can you be so lost next to me oh... Magnolia everything to me So lost, we can be so lost when we’re free oh... You know you’re everything to me

A Tidal Wave 03:16
lyrics
buy track
I heard the crash across the shore line the buildings scatter over time…. I grab the current by the reigns while your drowning in my eyes You keep on talking bout the end... These things I can’t even pretend The thrill is all I’ll ever need when I’m getting pulled in deep So we come clean, and drift away can’t seem to stop the machine… a tidal wave So so so we break free... our debt we pay Just keeps coming at me…. a tidal wave Immerse yourself and start again No more debating where we’ve been... And are you making sense of all of these pieces all over. So we come clean, and drift away can’t stop the moving machine… a tidal wave So so so we break free... our debt we pay Just keeps swinging at me…. a tidal wave Tidal wave, my soul to save, come pull me in, lets begin Circling so much debris, come take it in, take it in. Tidal wave I can’t believe its waking me, breaking me Somewhere I’ll be drifting between you and me, you and me

Bright Matter 03:38
lyrics

All this talking of the dark in between the stars in our sky where the planets don’t align for the folks we know like you and I Everyone would fear unknown, not a beam, a traveling light These streaming thoughts out into space Talking out of place Something carnivore Keeps me awake So much we're thinking it's only signals Are you revealing someone just like me? Keep contemplating, we're not alone out here In outer space Talking out of place Something carnivore Keeps me awake Hey bright matter You keep me safe You keep me moving along Shake, don’t shatter Don’t be afraid pretend we never went wrong So much we’re thinking Its only signal are you revealing someone just like me.

Still Phantoms 04:38
lyrics
buy track
Pack up my bags, put the house to rest shut the door I’m on my way... 20 long miles past the city sprawls to a house we get away Brother I’m here, been a long damn year There’s so much I gotta say… Oh you see right through me Far or near I hear you So don’t be lost Still my friend Here my heart Till the end Speak your mind lest we’ve sinned don’t be lost Take me outside, in the grass we hide from our darkest enemies. Somewhere I stare from a house on hills We’ll be phantom summoning Over these trees, through the winter’s freeze burn the warmest memories Let go your strong / will Here phantoms stand / still I am the landslide I am the ground beneath your feet, always I am the sunset I aim the arrow buried deep, always I am the compass I am the map to lead you free…. always I am the phantom I’m here forever in your sleep… always

about

"Home. It’s somewhere or something different for each of us, yet it is a feeling that we all understand. It is tastes, sounds, and smells that call to us. But more than anything, it is a deep-rooted sense of belonging that only a magic combination of place and people can evoke. When we are apart from those things that we love most for long periods of time, there’s a sense that something at our center is amiss."

A year ago the Quiet Hounds were separated by a great distance, yet they’ve found a way to continue on. This is a message of perseverance.
