Don Soper a very, very nice EP. Wonderful voice and a style that reminds me of Norah Jones. Easy to listen to, very soothing. Favorite track: Buckets O'Berries.

I have taken, something's gonna give It might come crashing if I don't watch my back 'Cause there's so much more to lose than I could ever really gain Check your insecurities And leave 'em with your coat at the door Along with lethargy and fear and all the other things that cramp my style I guess it's why we've yet to meet I haven't stepped outside for weeks Keep it up, you'll see we'll end up south of where we started But don't get riled up yet 'Cause guess what? You're directing You pick the stars and keep them life-like And in the end if it's believable It'll keep on selling And they'll keep watching with their big brown eyes I have taken, something's gonna give It's time to listen, let it all pour out 'Cause you've been waiting And I've been waiting, waiting

the glimmer in your eyes as i stare at your silent seas lets me know we were friends oh we were friends as babies cuz communication doesn't usually come so easily so we must have learned in the yard getting sand between our frozen toes buckets of berries on the back porch hiding my hair in the trees so i can feel breezy cooking up tales for my validation hunter catch that stage please and give it to my baby Distraction in your eyes as i stare at your silent seas lets me know we were friends oh we were friends as babies cuz i've seen we're a little alike we're a little alike you and me so we must have learned in the yard getting sand between our frozen toes buckets of berries on the back porch hiding my hair in the trees so i can feel breezy cooking up tales for my validation hunter catch that stage please and give it to my baby So there's no need to worry 'bout ramblin' cuz i saw it off in the night and i've put out the buckets to hold those words that you recite that you recite that you recite that you recite with your eyes. buckets of berries on the back porch hiding my hair in the trees so i can feel breezy cooking up tales for my validation hunter catch that stage please and give it to my baby

Mooncat 04:49
me, I'm lookin up, blowing around, getting caught in a wire fence; I'll stay there and dry. can you hear me now? have I been too loud? are you listening? there's no one to my right, no one at my side, you don't get it... 'till the moon comes out. dust on our bed, in our shoes, on my backbone. 'till the moon comes out.

Bubble 07:29
out across the open sea out across the open sea out across the open sea out across the open sea out across the open sea i float out in bubbles gangs of clowns follow me they will fight my weaker double give a penny for the fishes thoughts hope they'll ease my troubles and the only eyes i'll ever see will be those of the storm And the salmon kings have fire in their hearts and a paradise of which i can be part and the ballerinas dancing in the blue they took my heart and helped it dance without you and gee i hope it lasts out across the overpass things look kinda hazy so i'll drink ocean really fast get funny and crazy give a penny for the fishes thoughts hope they'll ease my troubles and the only eyes i'll ever see will be those of the storm I'd like to meet a band of Roma and sing and sing non stop forever bleed the ocean breathe the sea and fall asleep with my heart intacked and fall to sleep with my heart intacked and fall to sleep with my heart intacked gee i hope it lasts

Somedays'll hit you like a heavy dark wave And your heart calls out for all the lovely days you crave Oh, I need someone to stay with me To bear the heat of the city The night grows hotter and the heart races on Just drop me off into a scene where I need you more that you want me Oh, I'm beggin', beggin', beggin' you please Just say you got my back and that you'll watch out for me I need you now, come to me now, you know I need you so bad Oh I'm beggin', beggin', beggin' you please Come find me please He whispered, "It was really nice to see you" And his lips brushed my cheek No, he didn't turn around as he walked away from me Maybe I should watch what I do with my heart It's a hard time convincing a heart that isn't happy I need you now, come to me now, you know I need you so bad Oh I'm beggin', beggin', beggin' you please Come find me please

Woods Waltz 05:52
I've said enough, I've blown enough sound. alone, up a tree, I'll never come down. time'll knit season to put on my sleep, time pulls you farther away from me. it's alright. better to fall apart hearing the birds than tripping up steps and choking on words. it's alright. I'm wittled and withered and glad to be cut off, no cutting tails, your lines are too tough. I was on pins, maybe I was in love! you had just had it and then had enough. it's alright. better to fall apart hearing the birds than tripping up steps and choking on words. better in flowers than between bedroom walls, better to die than do nothing at all!

Salut! 02:17
I am the sea below, I am the ocean row, salut, salut! down here in my rock bed I watch the bloody mess. the middle is dying out! mermen troops march on ahead, through the oil they tread, heave ho! stay inside the castle halls and watch the water walls. the middle is dying out!
