1.	Los Angeles 03:01	lyrics	buy track
Save me. Why won’t you save me from this town? Save me. Why won’t you save me from this town? Don’t know where I could go? Some place to call my home? Bury my head in the sand. Rest quiet and wait for death. Save me. Why won’t you save me from this town? Save me. Why won’t you save me from this town? Where are you all my life? Cold despair tonight. Old enough to know the game. Old enough to walk away. Some do hold it, though it’s hard to say. Some do hold it, though it’s hard to say. Some do hold it, though it’s hard to say.

Mighty was your light. Mighty was your… Mighty was your light. Mighty was your light. Mighty was your… Mighty was your light. Now she lives inside me. Now she lives inside me. Now she lives inside me. Mighty was your light. Mighty was your… Mighty was your light. Mighty was your light. Mighty was your… Mighty was your light. Now she lives in sunbeams. Now she lives in sunbeams. Now she lives in sunbeams. Now she lives in sunbeams. And she’s gone as fast as she comes. And she’s gone as fast as she comes. And she’s gone as fast as she comes. As fast as she comes. As fast, now she’s gone.
3.	Moon Pie 02:13	lyrics	buy track
But in my mind, it’s okay. Baby, it’s alright. Whoo-hoo! It’s the moonlight for our way! Baby, it’s alright. Whoo-hoo! Whoo-hoo! While chasing sound, lost my truth and all I found. Which way to go? A lone love. A long, lonely journey. Looking back, it could have gone another way. But in my mind, it’s okay. Baby, it’s alright. Whoo-hoo! It’s the moonlight for our way! Baby, it’s alright. Whoo-hoo! Whoo-hoo!

I don’t know where you are. I just know, it’s far in a dusty road. It’s where you are. It’s who you are. I know love is lost, in a winding road. And, that bird! Dropped at my feet. Taken away from its nest as a gift for me. Near my home. And, Fannin Street. She saw her mother in love with eyes of gold. All is not lost.
5.	Fenwick's Art of Dying 03:06	lyrics	buy track
Bedside visions Right side hope They see them visitin’ Death takes its toll Hmmm... Hmmm... Hmmm... I hear our filters Are like a rock in the stream Of consciousness river Flowing through you. Flowing through me. Hmmm... Hmmm... Go through the tunnel Outside the window Follow them, soul. Who? Who? Who? Hmmm... Well, I don’t know To what it amounts But, it sounds like our sufferin’ Ends with an easy way out. Out! Hmmm... Hmmm... Hmmm... Go through the tunnel Outside the window Follow them, soul. Who? Who? Who? Hmmm...

“Hi Bobby, this is Mom! I just want to call you and say hello. And, I hope you’re not working too hard and you get some rest. Anyway, we’ll check you later. And, sometime maybe we’ll get together and have yogurt together for breakfast. Love ya! Bye.”

about

Most of this EP was recorded in 2014, shortly after my son was born. I recorded it next to the crib that my parents bought for him. I figured it wasn't good enough to release, so I shelved it. I was still finding my voice. It is far from perfect.

The next few years were some of the most challenging that I have ever experienced. I lost a lot during that time, including my mom, dad, and little sister, who died in a car accident.

Sorting through the collective aftermath of so much loss and the joy of knowing my sweet son, I started playing music again. During a late-night recording session, "Fenwick's Art of Dying" was captured. Based on a book about near-death experiences, death is painted as a second chance. Fittingly so, it finds a place on this EP.

These songs are dedicated to my loving mom. May her wave goodbye featured on the cover be a mere "see you later."

I hope that you enjoy.

Bobby
