about

This song explains the feeling of the very first thing I remember: I'm standing outside, playing in the yard, and cars are driving past. My mom calls me inside. I remember standing there, my parents towering over me, both of them sitting at the kitchen table. They tell me to go to bed. I remember climbing the stairs, which were huge and bare. My room at the top of the stairs had wood floors, and there was a portable radiator heater in the corner. The moment I laid down into bed, I felt as if I lifted up into the air, and I floated out the window. I flew along through the sky and as I did, I felt myself growing older. Finally, I remember seeing a lake below and plunging down into it, where I started to swim. That's where the memory ends. I've asked my parents about this, and my best estimate is that I was about two and a half or three or so at the time of this memory.

lyrics

A house in clapboard white
Is shrouded in the mist
The cars all clamor by
Tracing pictures inside

My inner stranger rises up
Into the phantom plane
This body of memories
Has given birth to me

Drifting through the air
I take flight into the mirror world
Down below a lake
I plunge into its mystery state

about

Jesus on the Moon Puyallup, Washington

Jesus on the Moon is a collection of lo-fi songs I've been recording in basements, garages, and bedrooms since 2005. Recently, Derek Reed joined the ranks and, with the help of a drum machine, we've started to bring the songs to the stage.
