Miss 02:38
Ringing bell I love your boom, I love your sound Your singing swell fills the room, and then I feel so proud to be your miss, to gain your kiss under the satellite Our eyes swam when we began the first and fiery night Summer's warm and winter's night were lookin for a sign when all at once everything burst, everything shone with light My heavy hands had other plans but then you kissed me twice We were born again The stars and you and I marched across the sky Love mouth, you laced a crown to place upon my head and my shoulders And how I kept that kiss upon my desk Ever quiet, holy silent like cathedral rest I bless the night, bless the starry eyes of our first christmas And I'll miss you I'll miss you I'll miss you I'll miss you

Ringing bell I love your boom, I love your sound Your singing swell, it fills the room, and then I feel so proud to be your miss, to gain your kiss under the satellite Our eyes swam when we began the first and fiery night of our eternal christmas

It's cold outside, it's cold outside But I'm doin' my best to keep you alive It's cold at the walk, it's cold at the walk Cold in your fingers, cold in your talk It's cold at the stair, it's cold at the step But we sold our share when we up and left So I'll put my coat across your brow 'cause our hometown is further yet Never met a man who didn't live outside Lookin for a plan, lookin for a wife All the other brothers say they stay home, but they lie, they lie I'm warm within, I'm warm within Warm by your glories, warm by your sins Warm by your kicks, warm by your shins Warm by your beats, warm by your spins We've plenty of thick, plenty of thin We've got enough stories to fill fifteen pens Let's go together, my head in your hand till it warm outside, it's warm at the step it's warm at our shins, and it's warm within

Prisons 02:54
I've got these chains on, I don't know where they came from Somehow I put them on, Never had clear vision, living life in a prison Come and set me free From this prison I don't know I'm in Come and set me free from this prison I don't know I'm in
5.
The Thief 02:45
I am the thief who took more than I could share I look so cool takin' more than what was spare I am the thief I'll swindle you for a chair from thirteen rows back I couldn't hear you if I cared I am the cheat but my God, he looks so brave I never fear death or at least that's what I say I'm gonna buy the best grave that money has ever seen And when I'm layin' in my bed, no one's gonna cry for me It wasn't more than I deserved I am the crook who got more than I could bear I look so cool but the truth is that I was scared
6.
My Mother 00:57
Life kissed my mother goodbye one too many times. They kiss, they weep, they leave and they leave ya She will forget you, but I'll not forget you as a mother forgets the babe at her breast Do not kiss me goodbye Do not put me in the fire unless that is where you are choosing to sleep Wherever you go, there I'll be learning your god and sharing your bitter drink
7.
Hush 03:14
Hush little baby, don't say a word I know this life can put on a hurt You're caught up in things that are dragging you down And you're somebody else when there's no one around You can't sleep peacefully Hush little baby take a deep breath You might not ever quite understand death You keep doing the math but it doesn't add up One by one losing the ones that you love Do they sleep peacefully? Ahhh You're kicking and screaming and causing a scene Blood covered hands, will they ever be clean? Keep telling the devil to get behind you I will too, I will too
8.
Peter PS 02:14
Peter, patron saint Could you ever love me? Will you remember me before the throne of God? Peter, patron saint Your fledgling bride is lovely You were right to leave that ship in search for men and keys You and I will find if such a thing could ever be on the other side of death we'll be like Peter Singing, singing endlessly Singing, singing endlessly while the kids are fast asleep Your prairie home is nice, your fledgling bride is lovely You gave her keys to your apartment and there she waits in peace You and I will find if such a thing could ever be On the other side of death we'll be like Peter Singing, singing endlessly Singing, singing endlessly while the kids are fast asleep
9.
We're the harmony We're the fourth and fifth part Honey, you and me we will dive like stars But in the meantime you will hang my clothes I'll pay your bills and you'll take me to shows and we count the weeks Ooh Happy is the ghost who finds a friend gliding on his toes hand in fading hand Killers at our worst and lovers at our best You would heal the world and I would heal your breast But in the meantime you'll hang up my clothes I'll pay your bills and you'll take me to shows and we count the weeks 'Til we fall like men of the law 'Til we die like men from the sky
10.
Turned Sweet 00:16
He's comin', comin' to save us in our sleep He is taken, taken Our bitter drink has now turned sweet
11.
Glad Friends 04:26
I could've seen how this would end It's all a dream Glad we're still friends Slow is the gate and cold are your feet Ten years too late you let out your sheep Honey believe me I don't mean to offend How could you be glad we're still friends Glad we're still friends Glad we're still friends What was it worth What was it worth It took everything that I had You took everything that I had
12.
I'll never give you up I'll keep on taking you back I'll never give you up I'll keep on taking you back
13.
Wild and tall Falling star Nobody knows just how far this will go Wild and tall Grow so strong Nobody knows just how long this will go on
14.
Get no sleep, you get no peace Let those sheep, and leave them be Hand over that heavy load and the root that hurt you most Set a fire upon your bed and sleep inside my tree instead Let your laughter go ahead and get the hell out of your head Let your laughter fill the room Fill our hearts and fill our spoons Let your laughter fill the room Fill our hearts and fill our spoons See the lilies of the field See the birds of the air See the lilies of the field See the birds of the air See them in the field See them in the air See the lilies of the field See the birds of the air Lay down all your fear Line up all your care See the lilies of the field See the birds of the air
15.
Come and set me free from this prison I don't know I'm in
16.
You once were a forest as tall as you please Now even a child can count all your trees Sold out and struck down for nothin', for free I'm waiting for death to loose its sting Waiting for suffering to stop remembering to pick off piece by piece all I have seen My father, he's got plans big as you please But his joy has fallen from his cheeks to his sleeves and he don't know how to taste the honey for the bees Momma, she's wearin the city's best smile She's got a spark to make you beg for a flame but she can't remember the worth of her name I'm a crack in the door, a meal on the floor But you and him got the same sins Our courage gets thin, mirrors grow dim But along with her, oh sir You once were a forest as tall as you please Now even a small child can count all your trees You sold out for nothin, ill buy you for free We wait for death to loose its sting We wait for suffering to stop remembering to pick off piece by piece all we have seen Hold your breath with me Hold your breath with me

about

Jessica Smith and Danny and Amanda Churchill make beautiful, low-fi folk melodies that are multi-layered, rich in anywhere from two to seven part harmonies.

"Listening to Eustace is an exercise in patience, one of peace and holding your palms open to the world around you. They made a meditation out of music, in the same way that sitting next to a campfire lulls one into a calm and communal moment. Its as intimate as it comes; sometimes a single voice and an acoustic guitar, other times a tower of brass, strings, and layered harmonies so thick you could stick your hands in them and grab ahold. In their minds, the more the merrier."
- The Aural Premonition
