Moving Away


Dylan and Deanie's new home March 2010

Newest song! Recently our co-couple Dylan and Deanie bought a house. They packed up and moved away from Brooklyn in the middle of a blizzard. We spent the weekend at their new place a couple weeks ago and had a wonderful time. Since returning from our visit, I've been thinking about this idea for a song to give to our friends as a house-warming present. This project is based on another one of our old Braceface tunes called Preston County. It was Dylan's favorite of our songs, so I've appropriately updated the lyrics to reflect the current chapter in the lives of Dylan, Deanie, Wiles and Ashland.

Also Dylan and Deanie don't have a dog yet but they really should adopt one, don't you think?

Lyrics: No more moving so fast, no more fighting through crowds. No more climbing down stairs when you want to get out. No more smoky exhaust, no more mind-numbing noise. Now you're spreading your wings 'cause you've made a big choice. And you're leaving the big city and you're never looking back. You've bought a lovely home that has some trees and grass out back. You'll never have to think about anxiety attacks. This chapter of your life is found just off the beaten track. No more neighbors upstairs, no more paying to park. No more shying away from a stranger's remark. Now you play with your boys on the hill in your yard and you go to a shelter and adopt St. Bernards.
