about

written, performed, and produced by Brad Peterson
I have a bit of a cinematic sensibility in my daydreams. If this were a scene from a movie, it would like was colorized by Juarez Machado. I picture a town near the lake district in England at sunset in late summer where I hope to go someday soon. The drumming tendencies of this recording (and of the whole record) represent a shift for me supplanting the hi-hat with floor tom.

lyrics

Of far-off things we’ve thought today
Our cares dissolve and fade let’s go
To the far-off places
Remembrance of how it was
With woes forgotten just because we’ll know
In those far-off places
To Far-off places
To Far-off places we’ll go
The walls dissolve from where we stay
Our care will slowly fade away for to
Beguile and engrace us
Warm golden light and floral scent
A gentle breeze our hearts distend
By smiles of those foreign faces
To Far-off places
To Far-off places we’ll go
From a drawn-beat haunt
Amongst the empty vaunt
Ameliorate detente
There lies our hidden want
To Far-off places
To Far-off places we’ll go
