about

This one is really special. It features two of our favorite musicians - Fre Vandaele, a tin whistle player from West Flanders, Belgium and Lyndsay Pruett, a phenomenal violinist we know and love from the Asheville music community. Fre was at our house with his band on a tour stop. Lyndsay came over to record and the two of them played this Irish tune together. The energy and sound of it are so exciting!

Ross Montsinger's melodic drum part really shaped this song early in its evolution.

lyrics

Never been down to New Orleans
Never been out west to California
Will we rise on the sly in the great by and by
And fly off everywhere we want to

Pull off all your feathers and let's finally taste the wind
Been banking on the bad times
Never let the good times happen

Naked in the moonlight
Naked in the morning sun
Cover your eyes, take comfort in lies
Keep telling yourself that you've already won

You were hypnotized by bitter dreams
By mansions built of fable
Old promises that pick you up
Just to keep you in your stable

Now you're the ghost of a stallion chasing the moon
Fed on flames above
Sing so sweet to shake the Earth
And fill it up with love
Naked in the moonlight
Naked in the morning sun
Cover your eyes, take comfort in lies
Keep telling yourself that you've already won

Chasing those breaking waves
I'm as restless as the cold, cold wind

Naked in the moonlight
Naked in the morning sun
Cover your eyes, take comfort in lies
Keep telling yourself that you've already won
