about

" My favorite song on the EP is the title track "Three Licks To The Center Of The Purple Orb". When nostalgia hits, it usually hits hard. Old photos, and videos race me back to fleeting moments. The song is about the beautiful experiences I have had with my sister Mary Lee, and the people that we love. I want to go back to the past, and feel those feelings again, and the only way to do it is to be together and create new memories. It's a bittersweet solution, and the cycle never stops. I write about that a lot.
The cover of Three Licks is homage to that entire idea, and to our late friend Andy Devlin. On Dec 21st 2012, the supposed end of world ( and the last time I saw him, ) he wrapped a room of our friends up in neon pink string by dancing around us, and pulling us all together in a web. We stayed that way for what seemed like forever, pulling and moving with each other to music as one unit. I will never forget that night, and I will never forget Andy or his message "Burn Your Stars Bright", and "Embrace your Awesome". We are all one, it's that simple. "

lyrics

(Love you, I love you)

Our eyes, our tears
The laughs, the fears
Our mouths, our hands
The skin, the years
Our youth, our hearts
Each plays a part
We sound the drums
We all have come

Three licks to the center of the purple orb
In the house of our ancestors
We sit in a circle and we’re reaching towards
Our sisters and our brothers
And we leave
We leave as one

We all must die
Until that time
We feed the fire

Our dreams, our lives
Our lows, our highs
There’s not much time
But we have tonight
We lay our heads
On the river beds
The stars will guide us
When we’re dead

Three licks to the center of the purple orb
In the house of our ancestors
We sit in a circle and we’re reaching towards
Our sisters and our brothers
And we leave
We leave as one
We breathe as one
We see as one
We bleed as one

Three licks to the center of the purple orb
In the house of our ancestors
We sit in a circle and we’re reaching towards
Our sisters and our brothers
And we leave
We leave as one
