Hurricane 04:20
i guess this is over but we had a good run, didn't we? the easiest way that we learn to escape is to swallow it down the party is over the gifts and the patience could never relieve the guilt on your shoulders, the weight of defeat the weight of the air just like a candle in thew eye of a hurricane (this flame will never dull) just like the ashes in the boxes that never came (this fate will never know) just like a candle in the eye of a hurricane (this flame will never dull) well it's finally over the statue of lies has been cut at the knees pick up the pieces and toss them away and we swallow it down i'm starting this over now you're safe from the violence of things left unsaid turn your machines on and bury your head i'm tearing this whole thing down just like a candle in thew eye of a hurricane (this flame will never dull) just like the the handful of the promises we both made (this fate will never know) just like a candle in the eye of a hurricane (this flame will never dull) i guess this is over we had a good time, didn't we? turn your machines on and bury your head i'm putting you down

they're selling this place and all your dreams down the river they're moving this place and all its weeds away, forever they're selling this place and all your dreams down the river it's fifteen degrees and the sea is quiet now not for long good luck captain you'll change course, soon enough you'll face north, soon enough

Black Stars 04:27
what if black stars made up the sky and the whole world refused to believe you? what if there was no outer space? would you carry on? what if i had just a little more time? and i could show you a world that revolves around you what if there was no other place? could you carry on? just five long hours i swear that's all i really need just to keep this beast from breaking me before i stop just five long hours there's just no use in getting older there's just no use in getting older without you what if we gave it one more try 'cause everyone but me will destroy you what if there was no other way? could you carry on? what if these lights go out tonight and these machines set out to ignore you? what if there were no games to play? would it turn you on? just five long hours i swear that's all i really need just to keep this beast from breaking me before i stop just five long hours i swear that's all and you can leave just to keep this beast from breaking me before i....

Initials 04:45
if i could, i'd burn this house down sugar if i could, i'd stay up late if i could, i'd let you lean on me sunshine if you could, i'd stand up straight if i could, i'd watch your eyes while you're sleeping if you could, i'd keep you safe if i could, i'd build this world up around you if you could, i'd make you home this vein won't stop bleeding this page won't stop turning these bones won't stop until it's too late if i could, i'd let you keep your initials if you could, they'd never change if i could, i'd soak you all in sunshine if you could, i'd never wait this vein won't stop bleeding this page won't stop turning these hands won't stop ever needing this soul won't stop until it's too late or these bones find you please don't be too late when these bones find you

long nights, restless days, and high hopes trenches so deep i could hide my head in my sleep cruel joke, this game we play where no one wins but tested we stand on our own sides, empty in defeat move on it's all i could say but this bridge won't burn on its own his keys won't leave her lock yet, he's inside his keys won't leave her lock yet, he's inside so i'm always waiting for time to go on so i'm always wasting my time to move on she knows the bed has been made but my love swimming in circles wround my head when i sleep now my tongue is tied and though all hope is letting us down i can rest my guns and make room for defeat oh i can rest my guns and make room for defeat so i'm always waiting for time to go on always wasting my time to move on so i'm always breaking the line to go on but i'm always waiting in line so i'm always waiting for time to go on so i'm always wasting my time to move on always breaking the line to go on but i'm always waiting in line

i've grown tired of waking myself up and only ever seeing an empty screen on the days when things take up your time oh stand back, this won't hurt - i've done this before but this time, you stay put for however long it takes to die snakes and spiders won't hurt you now but then you'll know blood is only as thick as your latest obsession sticks and stones won't undo your bones 'cause we all know you have elegant dreams you've been wrong all your life so why start now i've grown tired of picking myself up and only if we suffer our unclaimed scars will the axes fall asleep on time oh stand back, this may hurt - i've done this before but this time, you stay put for however long it takes to die snakes and spiders won't hurt you now but then you'll know blood is only as thick as your latest obsession sticks and stones won't undo your bones 'cause we all know you have elegant dreams you've been wrong all your life so why start now you've been running away out from the arms of a stranger i'm still trying to catch you

we've painted pictures of the things we've said and done but somehow pictures don't talk back the fact remains, there;s something wring with us is there something wring with that, and if so would you tell me your name, so i know? just maybe i'll do the same, for all you know and the weight gets harder the more you drown and the weight gets stronger the more you push it down and the red light gets longer the more stick around the law is against us and the laws are clear the more i save you, the more i disappear so long, the news is bad we don't think he'll be coming back himself but don't mind me i'm capabale of cutting in and wasting precious hours here i go would you tell me your name, so i know? just maybe i'll do the same, for all you know and the weight gets harder the more you drown and the weight gets stronger the more you push it down and the red light gets longer the more stick around
9.
connect the dots and get out of your mind hard is all, hard is all i know connect the dots and the sooner you will find complications could all just disappear connect the dots and the the darkness you will find can all be lifted away and laid to rest but don't let these winds blow through you but don't let these waves come drown you don't let these dots escape you but don't let these winds blow through you but don't let these waves come drown you don't let these dots escape you

about

Snowflake is the brainchild of renowned producer/mixer D. James Goodwin.

In 2012, after a decade of innovative work with artists like Kaki King, Murder by Death, Bobby, Norah Jones, The Bravery and Devo, Goodwin began work on his own project—a collection of songs that grew from a seed to a forest, from a spot of rain into a hurricane, a project of grand vision and atmosphere.

Holed up in The Isokon, his own studio in the Catskills, Goodwin wrote and recorded the entire debut LP by himself, not another soul in sight.

Combining the dynamic tension of bands like Mogwai, with the size and shape of Pink Floyd, Snowflake is not a quiet journey; Snowflake is art-rock at its darkest, its most sophisticated and its most explosive…in technicolor.

Known for his irreverent approach toward recording, Goodwin bore down through late 2012 with his collection of strange and unusual implements and in early 2013 he completed a debut LP entitled We All Grow Toward The Sea, a nine song collection chronicling the deep confusions and pressures of modern life; a concept record without dogma; a cinematic display of pop sensibility with volume and scope.
