1.	Josephine, Lie 03:48	lyrics	buy track
Lying in your lingerie Lie and make love anyway It's easy to lie Lying in the Tuileries Just beyond L'Orangerie It's easy Pour another glass of wine Josephine, your truth's unkind Look me in the eye Josephine, lie An apartment let in the Marais Lying in our bed unmade It's easy to lie The train ride up to Giverney Lie and make this a perfect day It's easy
2.	Read My Fortune 04:35	lyrics	buy track
Please, oh please, oh please Read my fortune Please, oh please, oh please Read these lines in my hand Please, oh please, oh please The tea leaves speak novels Please, oh please, oh please Decipher them I’m afraid these days are not the good days These are not the days of women, song, and wine Perhaps the stars aligned against me I know that something isn't right I pace the kitchen floor for hours My sleep comes sick and sour in the night It’s more than a sneaking suspicion I know that something isn't right I'm not one for superstition If it's a con, I won't be surprised Still I need some intervention I fear that something isn't right

about

We are releasing this record in the midst of social distance and quarantine. People are home alone with and without their families, working, raising kids, and trying to make and share their art. It felt right to share these two home demos, recorded literally in the middle of family talking, laughing, and raising children. The hope is that this organic context is as effective as more compete instrumentation and higher production value at communicating the songs' messages. Hoping everyone continues to create and share and grow as we support and take care of each other.
