BigBird_64 This is a great album. The music soars joyously from song to song, and the songwriting lives up to the musical it's based on. Sophia K. Metcalf's voice is so vibrant and colourful, they deserves to be in an album as great as this one. Well worth a listen. Favorite track: How Does it Feel? (feat. Sophia K Metcalf).

Oh! Brother here Waiting on the eastern shore Oh! Sister dear Tell me what you’re waiting for We’ve been tossed about Freezing on the eastern shore Waves that spat us out Tell me what you’re freezing for As I lay clinging to the mast Ears still ringing from the blast Looked up to the swirling stars that swore that they would guide us Now gone, swallowed by the moon, tugged at the sheets to hide us In this cloudy place Where no one knows your name when they see your face Go rescue him Drowning on the eastern shore It’s sink or swim So tell me what you’re drowning for We have fought the fight Clinging to the eastern shore Now we wait for night Tell me what you’re clinging for And when the storm came raging past Don’t you feel you’re aging fast? And clouds that you swore bore the shape of your own mother Explode, everybody starts to look like one another When the lightning hits Your name was all you had, now it’s blown to bits So let us begin Living on the eastern shore Let the players in Tell me what you’re living for Oh! Brother here Waiting on the eastern shore Oh! Sister dear Tell me what you’re waiting for Oh! Brother here Waiting on the eastern shore Oh! Sister dear Tell me what you’re waiting for Tell me what you’re waiting for Tell me what you’re waiting for

And if I sink into the sand And someone thinks to take my hand Pulls up, I may hide my face To save myself from ruin These days, I’m no longer just A scrap the sea-breeze blew in No I’m not the same I see through different eyes And I’ve changed my name

What if we all just decided that we could say anything? What if the fool with a song was stronger than a silent king? Shatter the ceiling, dance on the walls Pick up the mood wherever it falls What if the dances you dance in the dark could be written down? What if the songs that you sing in your head appeared on your crown? Shatter the ceiling, dance on the walls Pick up the mood wherever it falls I’ll make plans and you’ll make plans too Brush them off when we hear that song We’ve got something to dance to Something to dance to, something to dance to Something to dance to, something to dance to What if we all just decided that we could say anything? What if we all just decided that we could say anything?

I wonder how many setting suns A person can see before they become one And what’s gonna happen if no one sees The light disappearing behind the trees No one to notice, no one to say “Please don’t take my sunshine away” No one to stand up and fight the fight To stop the day turning into night Giving chase to the horizon Love is late but I’m arising With the day Every day
5.
I wonder how many moon-soaked nights I threw in the towel and turned out the lights Unaware of the hole in the shape of me In someone’s heart far across the sea Someone to open the deadbolt door Someone who knows what we’re living for Someone who shines through the window pane When all the rest of the world sees rain Giving chase to the horizon Love is never unsurprising As the day Every day

When you saw me last I was changing fast You were the fisherman, I was the sea And your line was cast The sky is pink then blue And I reflect its hue You kept looking, but all that you caught Was the feeling that you might too Invite the sun of paradise If this be love beneath the ice The night is young and the daydream’s real How does it feel? Heaven and earth went and struck a deal How does it feel? How does it feel? This little life of mine I’m gonna let it shine These downpours and those locked doors Could never stop me tryin’ I spin like a great typhoon I shift like a desert dune I tell you a story you can remember Like a campfire tune Invite the sun of paradise If this be love beneath the ice The night is young and the daydream’s real How does it feel? Heaven and earth went and struck a deal How does it feel? How does it feel?
