lyrics

In those early hours, I’d wear my dress for you.
I could take a running start, I had a brakeless heart.
Afternoons came easy, on the cloudless days,
Oh but I could see the coming dark, you rearranged my heart.
And as for the dreams we’ve had, we find ourselves committed,
To what’s left after they have split apart.
In some cruel derailment, like a trackless train,
You will live for your song, I will get dragged along.
I turn on the radio, to escape my fate,
I like to hear a loving tone, I take the long way home.
And as for the dreams we’ve had, we find ourselves committed,
To what’s left after they have split apart.
How I learned to love you, how I learned to lie,
And to live in the space between, in the twilight of my dreams,
Well, that’s not me.

Layperson Portland, Oregon

Julian Morris situates his music at contrasting intersections.  It's a music that is at once emotionally urgent and yet brimming with graceful patience; tender and vulnerable while still forceful and resilient.
