about

A solid year ago, an auditory hallucination gave me a tune called "O Brother, I Am Dying" and Of Ramble & Ruin was born. I've been writing and writing since but not really tracking much for the project. This weekend, I set up a mic and decided to demo the bucket of tunes I've been collecting. Not sure which ones fit, which ones will stay, which ones will grow. I am sure that I will make a Of Ramble & Ruin record in 2010. So, for those who like the stripped-down-work-in-progress-out-of-time-and-key thing, DEMONSTRATIONS is for you. I will release at least a song a week for the next couple of months.

Track Name: Quite Possibly
Quite Possibly

Everybody's gone crazy
Everybody's in love
For all kinds of reasons
With all kinds of stuff
But your heart is heavy
Oh the weight of what you know
Yes the sun does fade
But the moon gets full

When I dream of you
You colors burning bright
But you paint your days
In the simplest black & white
The songs your singing
They shake you to your bones
Now the melody is moving on

I think we're coming
Think we're coming around
Think we're coming around
Quite possibly

May all your days be filled with grace
May the summer sun light up your face
And may you find what you're searching for
May love fill your heart forevermore

'Cause who knows how long we'll stay
Who knows how much we keep

I think we're coming
Think we're coming around
Think we're coming around
Quite possibly
Track Name: Sunken By Meadows
Sunken By Meadows

Singing so softly
Who could be listening?
We're given to talk when good words go missing
From broken voices
Doubled by echo
Of wounded verses sunken by meadows

The hands of time will reach
Your heart to drag it deep
Beneath the savage sea
They're open all night
And I still believe
In worlds we haven't seen
If love is all you need
Let's make it all alright

There's a heart full of songs
They've been sailing for seasons
They take up just one voice
They give it a reason
Now they're out in the alleys
Waiting for when
The one broken chorus comes crawling back
Again

The hands of time will reach
Your heart to drag it deep
Beneath the savage sea
They're open all night
And I still believe
In worlds we haven't seen
If love is all you need
Let's make it all alright
Let's make it all alright
Track Name: Romeo Killed Juliet
Romeo Killed Juliet


Romeo killed Juliet
Yeah it wasn't that hard
He just wrote some little melodies on that dime store guitar
And Julie said, "oh he wasn't that special, no he wasn't that good"
But she'd sing every word he'd bring every chance she could

Go back Romeo
Go back to the start
Find another lover
Find another heart
She moved on away from you
The way young lovers do

Well you hear about Old Romeo
Yeah he's split right in two
And Billy says, "he'll be fine in due time, ain't that what poets do?"

Go back Romeo
Go back to the start
Find another lover
Find another heart
She moved on away from you
The way young lovers do
Track Name: Just Short Of Glory
Just Short Of Glory

Mr. McCready's heading home
Who will be waiting
Now that the missus
Has gone on sailing above
Who'll read his stories?
Who'll clear the dishes when he's done?

He still writes all he can
But then again
His characters are thinly drawn
And you can bet it won't be long
Before he's sailing too
Just short of glory
Mr. McCready's heading

Home, home
I want you to carry me
Home, home

Home, home
I want you to carry me
Home, home

Heading home
Track Name: Summer Breeze
Summer Breeze


Summer's almost over
Got my windows painted blue
And I feel like time has
Run away with you
I'm searching all your beaches
Finding only lonely shores
Pretty soon the summer breeze won't blow for us anymore

There's a record spinning
And it's something true
And I want to dance with you
I want to dance with you
I want to dance with you

We were just a moment
Spinning in space
Some would say you left here
Without a trace
But you laid these tracks
Straight across my heart
Train whistle blowing now it's tearing me apart

There's a singer singing
And he's awfully blue
And I want to dance with you
I want to dance with you
I want to dance with you
Track Name: Anabel (The Tango Teacher)
Anabel (The Tango Teacher)

Anabel, the tango teacher
A sunken-hearted pretty seeker
But it's just the same
'Cause I'll never dance again

The crumbling streets of Old San Telmo
Carries me by stray dogs and devils
Who promise to bring Anabel
To do some

Dancing, sway so forever close
I don't want to fall in love so for from home
Now I am trying to keep my feet moving in time
Oh I'm dying
Anabel you'll never be mine

The sun goes down, the sky is sighing
And in my heart, there's a melody rising
But I don't know the words
So I stumble off into the night

The moonlight takes what it wants to from me
The sidewalks paint my mind so ugly
It stings my heart
I still want to do some

Dancing, sway so forever close
I don't want to fall in love so for from home
Now I am trying to keep my feet moving in time
Oh I'm dying
Anabel you'll never be mine
Track Name: Must Be Love
Must Be Love

I'm coming over
So lay down in your bed
Tell me what your dreaming of
Your storybook heart won't be broken
Deep down in the sheets
Wonder what we're searching for

Now it must be love
Now it must be love

Who's the lover who waste your time
You can't really tell when the town is closing up
In a minute let's go
"In a minute love"
We met the brand new day
Wonder what we're searching for

Now it must be love
Now it must be love

How many hearts are breaking here tonight?
You can't really tell until you try
Until you try
Until you try
Everybody try now

Now it must be love
Now it must be love
Track Name: Simple Twist Of Fate (Dylan Cover)
Simple Twist Of Fate

They sat together in the park
As the evening sky grew dark
She looked at him and he felt a spark tingle to his bones
It was then he felt alone
And wished that he'd gone straight
And watched out for a simple twist of fate

They walked along by the old canal
A little confused, I remember it well
Stopped in to an old hotel with the neon burning bright
He felt the heat of the night hit him like a freight train
Moving with a simple twist of fate

A clarinet someplace softly played
She was walking on by the arcade
She heard the melody rise and fade
The sun was coming up, she dropped the coin in to the cup
Of a blind man at the gate
And forgot about a simple twist of fate

He woke up and she was gone
He didn't see nothing but the dawn
He got out of bed but his clothes back on
He pushed back the blinds, found a note she'd left behind
To which he just could not relate
All about a simple twist of fate

He hears the ticking of the clocks
And walks along through the city blocks
Hunts down by the waterfront docks
Where the sailors all come in
Maybe she'll see him once again
Oh how long must he wait
One more time for a simple twist of fate

People say that its a crime
To feel to much at any one time
She should have caught me in my prime
She would have stayed with me
Instead of going off to sea and leaving me to meditate
All upon a simple twist of fate
Track Name: I Am For You
I Am For You

The bend of space
The slip of time
Far, far away
Forever beyond
An ocean of sky
A sea of stars
A sun is rising
Over our hearts
Through the night
Every night

I am for you
I am for you
Come what may
Always
I am for you

Shadows grow
Heavy with fate
Only because
We were born too late
Tomorrow just dies
So stay with me now
Free as love
Forever bound by blood
We're the same blood

I am for you
I am for you
Come what may
Always
I am for you
Track Name: I Won't Let You Down
I Won't Let You Down

I just want to hear
You sing it one more time
I just want to feel
Your heart next to mine
The sun will fill the sky
Songs with fill the trees
If I can find a way
To take you home with me

I hope I'm not too crass
Don't wanna be rude
But you're a beautiful river
I'm an ordinary fool
But I don't live too far
On the other side of town
And if you pick me up
I won't let you down

I won't let you down
I won't let you down
Rolling on your river girl
I won't let you down

Now you can spend all your time
Hoping to be free
While you wait for that someday
The river runs to the sea
But if you sing along
Swirled up in the sound
And if you pick me up
I won't let you down

I won't let you down
I won't let you down
Rolling on your river girl
I won't let you down
Track Name: I'm Ruined Now
I'm Ruined Now

We're lost
On the long blocks
Was it chance or was it fate?
That made my heart into a mixtape
With you singing songs
Swollen with grace

Some kind of love
It's drowning me
It won't let me go
I can't let it be
Each breath I take
I'm deeper down
Under her waves
I'm ruined now

On a stoop
To talk it over
A weary head, a silly plan
Heavy winds, we're going over
So burn the boats
First sight of land

Some kind of love
It's drowning me
It won't let me go
I can't let it be
Each breath I take
I'm deeper down
Under her waves
I'm ruined now

I'm ruined now
I'm ruined
