“Can’t Expect” Unplugged & Unrehearsed with @AltarTV
Last week we released our video for “Can’t Expect”. We had the bright idea of filming the entire video on our own using only iPhones. We ran into a few challenges along the way but nothing a few simple household items couldn’t fix. Some carpet, a potato chip clamp, and a strand of cheap lights was all it took. With this now behind us, we are now in full motion working on the “Inner Child” video. We’ve also announced our first show in LA at Amplyfi on May 10th. If you’re from the So Cal area, we’ll be announcing a handful of dates over the course of the Summer!
Watch the music video for “Can’t Expect” right here!!!

Track Ten: Nature of the Beast
I live every day like it is my last one, so what!
If I go before I want to, If I fall before I make it, so what!
What if I hold my tongue? What if I get out of the game?
What if I wrap my head around the fact
That nothing every stays the same?
It’s the nature of the beast
One paves the way then the others follow suit, no I don’t want to change.
What if I packed all my favorite pieces, moved far west
Maybe bring a girl with me, when I do, she’s going to love me for me
She’s going to wait for me.
I LOVE VINYL RECORDS! “Like” if you do too!! ours is still available. order one and I write you a letter! - will

Track Nine: Una Bella
For seven years, I’ve seen a lot of trees
I’ve seen a lot of big rigs
up and down the street
If I move out to the west coast
would you move there with me?
My health, my hope, my heart, my pride
It is on the line, each and every single day
Why won’t you hold my hand?
Why won’t you sing?
Why won’t you buy my records when you hear them?
una bella sorca
I take my time on every line, but sometimes
They don’t come for months and I feel like I failed.
I’d rather take 40 years if it means
I can say what I feel, and nothing else
I wanna spend my remaining years doing what I love
and what I feel, and loving those around me

Track Eight: Love! (Isn’t Everything)
I have said many things to numerous girls
You think that it’s because i’m weak
But I was just looking for love
We both did a lot of things and I didn’t speak
I sat around and waited while the world just passed me by
When I was looking for love
Well it’s a problem that I don’t know how to act
It’s a problem that I don’t know how to act
Well it’s a problem that I don’t know how to act around you
when I am looking for love
Why won’t you wait? Why would you change?
You’re the only one who could wash my blues away
I was just looking for love
She said “Why would I wait, why wouldn’t I change,
How are you the one who’s going to wash my blues away?”
Love; Isn’t what you need
Love; Isn’t everything
Love; Isn’t what you need, i’m waiting for you to turn around
Not waiting for you to turn around.

Track Seven: The Great White Buffalo
It’s invigorating inside when everything is clean
and everything is organized. It’s a lie,
I wanted out, but you intend to keep it safe from harm
When the only harm waits for you in the dark and
when you don’t say what is on your mind
I’ll wait around
She’s a liar, don’t want to know when she is coming home
She’s a liar, don’t know why, don’t know how
I believe that somethings wrong with your attitude
If I didn’t go back then I still wouldn’t know what I know now;
Is you were the wrong one and you always were.
Enablers all around, Lela you failed yourself
You won’t always stay like a picture in a frame
You’re not a flower in a vase, you’re a chameleon on a stage.

Track Six: Purgatory Creek
Why won’t you release?
You separated me from the tangles in the trees
But you won’t let me down
All I want to be isn’t always in my hands
Isn’t always understandable
But I can’t handle it with or without you you there
I always pass through the purgatory creek
On my way to Dartmouth St.
You want me but I can’t be bought
You want me but you know me way better that
All I can say is; i’m down if you’re down
If you’re down then i’m down
I always pass through the purgatory creek
On my way to Dartmouth St.

Track Five: Wilder Child
Wilder Child of a Thousand Suns
Hopefully I don’t, Hopefully I’m not wrong
I don’t want to be, I don’t want to be wrong
Wait for it, wait for it
I wish I could always do what’s right
But i’m glad I can’t change all the wrong i’ve done in my life
It’s a part of the race
Decisions that make me who I am
Happy to be the hole inside your heart
Wish me well, wish me well
Because i’m going to need your help
Wilder Child of a Thousand Suns
Hopefully I don’t, Hopefully I’m not wrong
I don’t want to be wrong. I don’t want to be wrong
Wait for it, wait for it
No I don’t think you know who I am
I’m a child of a thousand suns
beating on my back, and a thousand at my neck.

Track Four: How to Sail the Atlantic Alone
I wasn’t working because I was distracted by the fleeting life
It wasn’t on purpose but I wasn’t happy,
more like a state of mind
Living within my own head
It’s dusk, it’s dawn and then again
And over and again
I’ve been waiting around treading water
and i’ve found that most of the love.
It comes from underground just look at the signs
They’re easy to see. Just open your eyes. Just open
If your love’s a labor you’re faking emotion, you’re wasting time
Love isn’t labor, love is an ocean running free and wild
You’ve got that way about you
You’ve got that long, long, long blonde hair
and if you want to dye it red
it’s alright with me
