Don't Cry My Dear 04:31
lyrics
buy track
"Long day" she said "I just need my bed" I brought her wine instead a full grail of red Don't cry my dear, they're not worth your tears Don't cry my dear, I am here Let's top up that glass Talk of good times passed Pull a record from the shelf or, write a song ourselves Don't cry my dear, they're not worth your tears Don't cry my dear, I am here "With your hand in mine everything is fine until next time" Don't cry my dear, they're not worth your tears Don't cry my dear, I am here Let's dry up those tears I am here

We Are Ugly 05:27
lyrics
People want to be around what we are not look behind our masks and you’ll find we are ugly we have acne bald spots and bad teeth blisters, moles, and scars We attach ourselves to lovely things like moths to a lightbulb hoping for a distraction from homelessness, schizophrenia, sick children and what to have for dinner tonight We are alone We are afraid We are ugly but we don’t have to be We are derelict ships afloat on an endless sea Given hope by the beacon of elegance and its guiding light We are drawn to beauty because that’s what we believe others will do We are alone We afraid We are ugly but we don’t have to be From skies heavenly to the dark streets we are ugly So hold onto whatever you can find that gets you through

about

Written and recorded at home May 2021 - June 2022.

"some of the harmonies and compositions they created together brought tears to my ears. This is an album I won’t soon forget, and neither will you."
-Brandon Kruze of www.cupsncakespod.com/quick-picks/2022/10/21

“We Are Ugly” slows the tempo way down and becomes very intimate, where you can actually feel the room where the recording took place (especially the piano and cymbals). The song deals with the fact that we all hide our physical (and even moral) imperfections, though we all share them. Steve’s vocals are quietly confessional, while Colleen again impresses me as a singer every bit as good as Stevie Nicks, and I’ll take that to the bank!"
-Dino DiMuro of www.pitchperfectsite.com/indie-music-album-reviews/westminster-park-songs-that-rhyme-with-alone
