about

I had to do a photo shoot in Massachusetts and Connecticut one winter. Finding a radio station in a rental car is an adventure.

lyrics

Fighting sleep, it’s nearly 5 am
Radio's watercolor sky
The songs skipped in, exotic spins that always
Crackled off with the sunrise

And through tin speakers, across a thousand beaches...
Radio's watercolor sky
Band on the run, another locomotion
And like an eagle we learned to fly

And as it leaves us, forever digital
Radio's watercolor sky
A synesthesia, so inescapable
They were the waves we could not divide

And like a heartbeat as through a telephone
Radio's watercolor sky
It was a heartbeat, and everyone could know
Radio's watercolor sky

A chilly drive, up through Connecticut
Radio's watercolor sky
Reedy wind, it carries all the hits
That can never explain quite why

It was a heartbeat as through a telephone
Radio's watercolor sky
It was a heartbeat, and everyone could know
Radio's watercolor sky

Blown into space, this shell of silly love songs
Radio's watercolor sky
It's how they'll know us, if for a nanosecond
This lonely howl set in 4/4 time
