New House 02:47

The dog got into my food again But I can't stay mad 'cause he's my only friend Out here where the nights are too long And the stars are too bright I used to think I had a future But that's been proven untrue Ever since I moved away from you And it was so easy To leave it all behind But it was so hard To leave It looks like I've left home for good But I've got a house in the woods The people won't hurt what they can't see Picked up a job at the local drug store But it feels like every day they hate me more But sometimes when I ask they'll talk to me And things have been bad out here for a while now But maybe someday they will get better I'll just keep holding out that hope And as my mom says, "people change like the weather"

I ate a bug the other day it didn't taste so good but that's okay because I'm coming home now I'm coming home now I was running with a bad crowd I wonder if they know howto dance I never gave them the chance The whole town's covered up with snow The wind whips off the lake and the houses glow but I'm coming home now I'm coming home now I was institutionalized But they said it wasn't a big surprise I guess they could see it in my eyes And my enthusiasm grows As ol' jack frost gets my nose And I try to get lost in the way back when before the more recent stuff comes up again The lady tells me where to go But i'm not in a rush I take it slow 'cause I'm coming home now I'm coming home now The stars they twinkle like ice Yeah that's how I like my nights How they used to be

about

ABOUT THIS ALBUM:
I feel obligated to follow in the footsteps of every acoustic guitarist who writes sad songs and put something long and pretentious here. Honestly though, I don't think I could write anything that wouldn't just take away from the songs, you know? I mean, that's what you're here for. So, I guess I'll just use the space to tell you a few fun facts about these songs.

New House: I wrote this one in the basement of my new house. The song should speak for itself from here on.

The Lake Superior Blues: I think this one's about someone who got caught up in some bad stuff despite being a good person coming home after a stint in jail. But I could be wrong.

Good Old Pennsylvania: This one comes from the same vein as New House, in that it's about returning home to something after moving. The town it's set in is Harding, PA. I actually almost called the song "Please Come Home to Harding" as a reference to the Mountain Goats, but it seemed to direct.

Straight Six: I didn't write this song.

credits

released January 20, 2016

I recorded and mixed this whole thing by myself, but the methods with which I did it are super boring. Imagine instead that I recorded them all on the road at stage performances or in hotel rooms or whatever. Just make sure it's cool.
Yeah, just like that. Perfect.

The Entertainment (the band) is me, Peter, and my guitar, who's name is Elizabeth.

Special thanks to Mercedes Sandoval, since this was basically her idea.
