Let it out your the attack dog today Just don't forget yesterday you, you were one of us Now it goes your the star, or so you say Just don't forget tomorrow if you lie to all of us We won't for give you There's a flood and all you say, it's up to us Just don't forget tomorrow, you will be, one of us Do my part ok I'll try real hard I won't forget tomorrow I won't be, one of them Will you forgive us Will you forgive us Will you forgive us

Did you wake up? back seat of our car I wander Did you look down? there's bones underneath our car We're going until we slip in the west All around is the sea We left from the end of the block Cannot get stuck in the breakdown It's goodbye to this street this time I wander Not the same
3.
And back when hitchhiking was the easy thing to I met him We had always been lucky a Big Fat Cadillac came A Big Fat Cadillac Rafael's Silver Cloud was by the side of the highway When we got in the car the owner asked me to Drive The Big Fat Cadillac Rafael's Silver Cloud was by the side of the highway We had a drink to the man who paints for all the rich old fools
4.
A junkyard of cars below my super eighty and they are burning and they are rusting with there old old doors You car's of fire you shouldn't put it out with a can of beer from the backseat and please don't ask me to grab your hand and help you out You car's of fire you shouldn't put it out with a can of beer from the backseat People drive by and as they drive by they crash into eachother won't grab your hand and help you out I saw the newspaper yesterday I saw You were no where at all You car's of fire you shouldn't put it out with a can of beer from the backseat

On the way to the airport again turned away by the crowds again this crisis is my opportunity to clear my head Drive across the state sleeping next to the window snow storm in the way again this crisis is my opportunity Stuck in New York New Years Day It's dark in the north but my friends is in my arms take a pause and offer a kiss to the one that I love
6.
Inside my Darkest Moments I, I see that you will look me back Inside my Darkest Moments you, You see me through, You see me through But sometimes I need to go where no one can go and it's so You look me back Inside your darkest moments do, do you look? do you look? Sometimes it's hard to see that you'll turn around the way you walk and yeah I know Inside my darkest moments I You see I go, I go where you go

Save $ 03:55
Did you read the daily news? Do you believe the story I save my $ Did you see the man on the train? Do you believe his story I save my $ Why would we get together now when we could stay alone Did you meet the girl at the bar? Did you get her number She's still running

about

New Mexico, Cars, Love, Burning cars, Alcohol, New York, Love, Trying to get back to New Mexico (figuratively and literally) Hurt, Love, The crazy man and the beautiful woman trying to share the same 3 feet on the subway (thanks for that one David Cross).

When you come to a new place like New York City from New Mexico you can feel the pull of the separation every day. Shortwave Sunshine’s album 'The Breakers' explores the colors of the separation and the love stories that have grown from these darker places.

Featuring members from: Antibalas, Tamarama, Akoya, Quintus, King Expressers and Ravens & Chimes.

about

Shortwave Sunshine New York

The Breakers, makes good on the band’s Beatles influence with the kind of sharp but easygoing melodies and ambitious arrangements of the Fab Four’s later albums. From hypnotic “Stuck in New York” to the start-stop riffage of “Save $” and the noisy breakdown of the title track, The Breakers is a sonic mini-adventure that brandishes a relatively bright outlook and tight performances.
