about

We started recording this album as our first project.
We used only what we had which consisted of one microphone, an input, and a laptop.
Months later, we've upgraded our equipment and are planning on re-recording certain parts of this album in Denver, CO, where Raven is now living.
We wanted to share this track, however, because it's very special to us and hope it touches you like it has us.

Keeping it raw
Keeping it alive

Stone Jelly

lyrics

Could of felt the ocean waves crashing at your feet

Could have felt those western winds your never gonna breathe

Think of all the people your never gonna meet

All the things you could have done if it hadn't been for me

Blindfold across your eyes chains around your feet

Im the light thats always on the whiskey that you drink

Im the weakness in your mind when your trying not to think

Of all the things you could have done if it hadnt been for me

I lit the match and set the fire in your head

And you sat back and watched the flame burn

Im the one that put the gun in your hand

but you put the lead in the chamber
