A Lament
Tim Koch & Dave HaeselinI kept this song to myself until it was basically done and needed dan's instrumentation to complete it. And although its for the troubadour album and in a sense is based on the fictional story which the album will be, its still quite intimidating knowing that you, the listener, may listen to it because it is quite personal and was a shockingly revealing song to write.

Golden Maidens and the Art of Being Lost
Tim KochThis is a song of debate and making decisions. Its from a new album im working on, being a courtly performance of a wandering troubadour, so its also in the medival style of poetry known as a kyrielle. Its a song of debate in the context of the story he tells throughout the whole performance/album.

Adam, First Son of God
Alex Muro, Tim Koch, Dave HaeselinThis is a song about the biblical story of Adam and Eve. Its a retelling of sorts where roles are reversed but the ending is the same. I think this version is a more accurate description of what happened when Adam and god first met.

The Real Folk Blues Part I
Alex Muro & Dan PardeeThis Song takes its name from the 25th episode of the animated series Cowboy Bebop. It also takes all of its lines (with a little tweaking, but not much) from that and the next episode.( It also takes its sounds more principally from Bob Dylan than any of the songs I have written since the life and times of Sgt Dunbar.) I highly recommend Cowboy Bebop to everyone, but don't just watch the last two episodes, watch the whole thing first. It will be way better.

Charlotte
Alex MuroThis is a song I wrote for a real girl whom I met once at a party when I was a bit younger and just as impressionable as I am now. On first listen this may sound like some sort of creepy love song,which on some level it is but really this is a song about being lonely. The song takes also takes ideas from a story my sister showed me at thanksgiving by leo tolstoy's great niece or some such (tatyana tolstoy) called okkerville river.
(Ps. Please listen to me in headphones at least once.)
