Hello world. I know it's been a while since I've recorded anything, but I've had a lot of down time in the past few days since I'm home for break from LA so I made use of it.
Enjoy the new song. Being five days to Christmas and in the heart of winter, I thought it appropriate.
Thanks for listening.

// Jack Frost Can Sleep Soundly Tonight //
Written by JonathanChristopher
for a friend.

She says "hold on, theres no use wasting time if ears are turned"
the snow outside is glistening, proud that it cant hurt
She tells herself the rest can go down hard without a fight
these winter skies are looking down with sympathy tonight

He says "come on, theres some things you just cant let out of sight"
photographs and phone calls, leaving goodbyes behind
"If December cant cry tonight, cry, so why should I?"
the rest can hold their own inside, hold on while she cries.

Everything seems to make sense when its just tonight,
just the time when theres snow outside, forget the lights, forget how cold it is when we're so
far away, for the moment we leave memories left behind
lets just stay awake and see our breath appear and fade away into the night

She says "theres something different hanging in the air tonight"
the faces blur, the voices lose their volume in his mind
"If December drops by tonight, and cries then so will I"
the past leaves us alone inside, fading in the sky

// Meet Me In Montauk //
Written by JonC.
Inspired by Motion Picture: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, 2004.
Quote from "Eloisa to Abelard" by Alexander Pope.

Find this point of view
that settles with the thoughts so that it feels
walking through the past
and bringing time, oh, back to where we

smiled, without regrets
ocean waves that crash and don't forget.
A tide that breaks, remembers
every memory, oh, the tears that fall
so let's take these scars back to the start.

Oh, feel the rain
feel the waves washing away
but you can't erase the pain
and leave behind ourselves to blame.

"How happy is the blameless Vestal's lot!
The world forgetting, by the world forgot.
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind!
Each pray'r accepted, and each wish resign'd. "

Silence points the view
that compliments the setting sun,
the subtle fading hues.
Sitting on the shoreline,
wishing time would stop so this one lasts.
