"Hello there, sleepy hometown
Friend, it's been a while
You really haven't changed much,"
I observed with a smile
The mountains are as picturesque
As ever before
And nostalgia is a welcome guest
At my door
The same old trees have
Brand new leaves,
And the road has been
Repaved
Three coats of paint
Eventually fade with the days
Time, it seems, has
Sprouted wings,
So catch this moment
In a jar
In this fleeting reverie,
I see that
It's been beautiful so far
I came back here to witness
The effects of time firsthand
Calendars and clocks don't make it
Any easier to understand
Because the present touches eternity
And the present is passing by
We've all got to decide
What to do with our time
Shared a sip of coffee
With a kindly local gent;
He wore a crown of splendor
And his aching back was bent
I said, "I blinked, and now it's all gone,"
And at this, his worn eyes lit
With a sagely grin, he said,
"Kid, you don't know the half of it."
A lovely ambient concept album about the tiny miracles of a very average morning that often go unnoticed. Made by one of my dearest friends. Nicholas Webber
I wasn't in the band yet when I mixed this EP for A Place for Owls, but these have remained some of the most important songs in my life. Nicholas Webber
supported by 4 fans who also own “Small Town Reverie”
I adore this album. I've come back to it again and again over the course of 2023, making it one of my most-listened albums of this decade thus far, and it never gets old. Punishing honesty met brilliantly with gorgeous and often surprising musical arrangements. Heart-melting stuff right here! Chase Tremaine
