about

“I chose this as the first single because I really wanted to release it in the summer.  It’s a summer song, as well as a good example and introduction of what the band sounds like.”

“Almost everyday I walk the same route around my neighborhood,” he continues.  “Most of the lyrics for this album I came up with on these walks.  Last summer I felt hyper aware of the phenomenon that happens in the Pacific Northwest, after a long and dreary winter/spring, the lights come back on and everything turns from grey to technicolor overnight.  And there is a collective lift in everyone’s mood.  The lights coming back on has definite parallels with the seasonal depression that a lot people suffer living in this area.”

BROOKLYN 97202
BY: STEVE DRIZOS ©2022 CARPSHOOT MUSIC
It all comes down to how you see it
The way the light reflects and curves and bends Illuminate the current state
Of what is going down
Alleviate or elevate
The darkness that’s around
How you choose to perceive it The images on the other side
It’s all wrapped in how messed up All the signals seem
Try to shake the monotone scene
The color’s back and I feel good In my neighborhood
I’d keep the lights on if I could You know I surely would
But I don’t complain
I don’t explain anymore
Yeah it’s been so long
Since I’ve seen the stars turning on Push away the heavy grey Surrounding everything
Clear the way it’s time to shine again
The color’s back and I feel good In my neighborhood

I’d keep the lights on if I could You know I surely would
But I don’t complain
I don’t explain anymore
Keep it in the frame you want to see today Keep it in the frame you want to feel this way
The color’s back and don’t it feel good Summer light in the neighborhood Stars are on and don’t it feel good Summer nights in the neighborhood
