Sun! History! The Ocean & It’s Storms They all stand together They all stand together They all stand together like never before Come ministers, philosophers, accountants and angels I bring to you news of this war The whole thing's decided before she gets started and the lands will be yours nevermore It’s a long long way from the streets of Virginia to the anchorage just off Ceylon Console yourselves console yourselves Go home, hold your children This is the way of the world The way of a new world They are dangerous, dangerous, dangerous felons Your terrible armies, your fine hatted admirals they’ll put them deep beneath the waves I beg of you dear friends please don’t make them angrier I have seen them insane I have seen things in flames They are dangerous dangerous, dangerous felons

This is a song about hanging out a hallway outside a dank committee room where the fluorescents lit the youth who had their lives rebuked It took about an hour or two Standing around waiting for the elevator to take it down to the street take it down take it down North Carolina, the hell is up with you? If you stand here and I stand there and the walls between us grow higher and higher and the fault between us splits wider and wider If you stand here and I stand there we don’t get anywhere we won’t get anywhere, North Carolina

Aristolochia 03:13
Like a pipevine swallowtail I seek you out Aristolochia Got to find you There’s a better world, a better world I have no doubt Aristolochia, got to find you The wind in my wings wind in my wings, wind in my antennae things feels alright I say to myself to anyone else anyone out on this wavelength this might be the night, the night to light Aristolochia Got to find you

Into the Air 05:10
It’s a lot of ground to cover It’s a lot of ground to cover It’s a lot of ground to cover and then the Indian Ocean comes up out of nowhere Ship on the horizon Find your way into the air Che Dio ti benedica Che Dio benedica tutti quelli che ami Per sempre il tuo ricordo terremo nei cuori nostri Ci ricorderemo sempre la tua alzata, il tuo amore, il tuo consiglio Sai Sei santo a noi Lo spirito tuo Lo spirito tuo é con noi per l’eternità Santo Paolo

This Is Fine 05:44
We don’t have to worry this happens all the time We don’t have to hurry this is fine It’s a lovely afternoon spending time with you Cares just fade away well, sorta We don’t have to worry this happens all the time We don’t have to hurry this is fine When you called me yesterday I could not dream today incandescent peace phlogiston omnimodus We don’t have to hurry let’s get lost in time We don’t have to worry this is fine

Man gives the money to another man You stand there with your hat in your hand They don’t care a thing about you No, they don’t care a thing about you Sisters, Brothers, Space Aliens! Best get your licks in while you can They don’t care a thing about you — get this — They don’t care a thing about you I’m just sitting here wishing for a little peace in the world There’s nothing wrong with that, punk nothing wrong with that Whatever made you think that these struggles would be easy, casual or temporary? The system is rigged against you The system is rigged against you The system is rigged against you and there’s nothing you can really do to break even ¿Quien es Símon Bolívar? Here’s hoping that somebody comes up with a better end of the world One that’s a little more peaceful and not so hard on the girl ¿Quien es Símon Bolívar?

By the seashore people are walking By the seashore must be a thousand or more By the seashore people are walking looking at things that weren’t there before By the seashore the water is rising down by The Rocks where the river comes in and the water turned to a color turned to a color like coffee and blood By the seashore people are walking By the seashore walking along By the seashore people are walking thinking about things that were there before
9.
I wish for you on the moonless nights I wish for you when she’s shinning bright and each and every time I wish for you to be free Free from the struggle Free from the thought of it all The strength to ride out any storm Free from the troubles of this world in any form Free to stay and free to roam There’s nothing new in the air tonight all that is true is still there tonight and just like every night I wish for you to be free I wish for you again tonight I’ll wish for you until the end of time and each and every time I wish for you to be free

about

The Yellow House was a recording studio & practice space on Rosemary Street in Chapel Hill where Lud was formed. It was right across the street from many of the venues we've played over the years. It was haunted of course, but we all got along. Where the Yellow House stood is a parking lot now. Such is progress. This album is in honor of the spirit of the space and the enduring music community that came out of it.

Recorded 2016 to 2018 at The Fidelitorium in Kernersville with Pete Weiss; Track & Field Studio in Durham with Nick Peterson; Mixed at Verdant Studio in Athens Vermont. Mastered by Carl Saff.
