Strong Reflection, Shallow Pool 04:14
lyrics

You never looked over your shoulder dear, and that autumn won't, once more, be found I step back now that I am older dear, and doubts I had start to compound I took inspiration but was so inclined, to color the pane streaming light from behind And the truth smashed my stain glass and though I pine, I see the shade was mine They walk around naked in paradise, deluded in young love's pursuit, The serpent gave blind eve some good advice, these suitors should all eat the fruit, You're vindicated by some broken hearts. Why couldn't they see they were doomed from the start? The apples they haul make a heavy cart- she's not with you, depart Rise from the rubble around you, friend, rebuild on a far away plot Don't chase after that which destroyed you, friend, just salvage the pieces you've got The neighbors won't listen when you try to warn about the temptation that will leave them torn That house was no home, all the faces wore, expressions quite forlorn Say what you want to me, say it Say what you want to me, I'm listening Say what you want to me I'll give you all that you are shouting here, but it doesn't absolve you of what would appear to be taking advantage of one man's fear Another to endear

Out of the Inn 05:57

It's much darker on the floor, within a within's space Come to study the decor, as absent as your face Standing on my shoulders, just us two, I feel days older Evening turns to night, turns into now We move fast and time moves slow, we wish it would move slower I'll remember this when time runs out Painted picture on the wall, painted tissue in my hand Missing canvas for to stall, that which the painter planned See you there my hind-brain's lighting up, pull up the window Air comes in and pauses the affair Three AM, the bell's at ten, and when the next day's over Where will one of us a space prepare Shitty food, a lively mood, admits of some discomfort Why should I feel nervous in my space? Catch a groove before the move from November remember Pace to solitude I couldn't face? Waiting for a knock to knock, waiting for a shout to knock Waiting for a knock to shout, waiting for a shout to shout

about

These are two pretty old songs that took a while to finally get recorded. The pair were both written throughout the course of 2014 (without any recording to freeze their form they were edited periodically) and Strong Reflection, Shallow Pool was actually recorded in December of 2015. I knew I wanted to release it with a B-side, though, and the recording of Out of the Inn took several trips down to Rhode Island to complete. Now it is.

about

Plumes image

Plumes Boston, Massachusetts

Plumes is Ben Long (on the drums!) Tim Green and John Thorsen. Music- listening to it, learning to play it, writing more of it- has been one of few things we've taken really seriously for the last 7 years. These songs grew through many late nights and missed appointments. Our songs are all really about something. It's sincere and sometimes naked. Hope you like it ... more
