about
A song written about 5 years ago and demoed previously, it took on a new life under lockdown. It was one of the songs that began with Toni (vocals, clarinets) and John (keyboard) alone, when group recording was no longer possible. Then, like everything else, it sat.
It moved to a new level with the addition of Michael’s slide guitar parts during his weekly visits, which brought the perfect sense of longing to the proceedings.
That led to a “wish list” idea for a rhythm section to provide a foundation for everything, reaching out to early STP member Stan Demeski (Feelies, Luna, et al) on drums and Scott Anthony (Rebecca Turner, Fond Farewells, Storybook Sound) on bass. We think it was an inspired mashup.
lyrics
Verse 1:
The coffee’s on, the day’s begun, the train has left, you’re all alone,
What happens next?
The bird has flown, you’re on your own, you close the door, and still there’s more,
What happens next?
Chorus:
It must be summer cause the love’s all burned away
and romance dies on the vine.
This can’t be love because it feels so good today
I’ll take a rhyme that isn’t mine.
Verse 2:
You ask yourself, a question once, inside your room, tell the truth,
What happens next?
Fit me in your prayers tonight, throw the lock, turn out the lights,
What happens next?

What a great show it was. It was the last Luna show I saw not right up front at the stage. The girl I was with said let’s go up front for Penthouse. I alway stand about 10 feet from the PA.
I have seen about 20 shows since and always up front now.
Plus that was my first time getting a picture with Sean. joecigno

Wonderful little EP. Most of these songs would have fit beautifully on Luna's most recent LP. "California Blue", in particular, is magnificent. phil obbard
