the after 01:28
you know, my heart is just filled with thanks that my heart is still beating. and every beat of my heart is a chance to make it right with god. my heart is just filled with thanks. and that's all i can say. the way i remember it, it was like waking up. it was like knowing that your world was gone. and that it didn't even matter. it was just a dream. a dream for dreaming when food had been found, a fire had been lit, and your eyelids were shut against the naked stars. did i ever tell you about the end of the world? well, remind me some time and i'll tell you how it was.
8.
skies are fuller. horizons wider. and my heart's the only place where anybody knows your name. the world is bigger. better for it. and you are gone. the ocean's closer. air is lighter. but all this change hangs hollow in your place.
9.
don't remember winter ever being so long before. now that it's over it feels like, for the first time in my life, it's spring. that's the way it always is, i think. you wait and you wait and you wait. and everything is just waiting until it isn't anymore. when can we go home?
10.
alright. believe me, we're gonna be alright. heaven's hand was heavy, but it's aim was true. everything that happened was meant to be.
11.
a lot of years ago, some man sang the moon down. that's what my granddaddy's daddy told him. what my daddy told me. and so on and so forth up the family tree. he says it's what every man who cares about truth tells his kids is what he said. so i know it's right. a man got a song in him a long time back, pitted the moon like an apple, sunk it into the stone jungle. sunk the world too. into black for a long time. sank it slow and certain, and so deep we still haven't hit the bottom. we gotta hit bottom. before we can climb out, we've gotta land. and here we are falling. that's alright though. that's ok though. i know we'll land. falling is just a step to landing. that's what he said. and when you lost your wings, landing's the best thing for it.

about

Flight and Falling was forged in the basement of the fabulous Evensen complex. Only the finest preamps and kinetic recording devices were used— primarily a tape machine we call David. He is about the size of one New York City block. David is powered by the purest coal. All instruments and equipment used on this album, excluding Josh’s amp, were at minimum 50 years old at the time of its creation. Josh’s amp is brand new and solid state and he hates it.

released February 1, 2009

matt olsson helped a LOT with arrangements (i should probably say he cowrote like 70% of this album) and played drums. josh evensen did everything else. brian aguilar did the album art. it is dope.
