lyrics

Your mother said black tea bags
Could heal a burn wound
And when you put them on my red hands
It felt like cushioned seats
It felt like I lived at a beach house
Tending to a jellyfish sting

I steeped in the backroom
A gentle infuse
Sitting there like I’m seeping colors
It felt like time in bloom
I felt you like a stream of honey
Sweetening in arabesque swirls

Black Tea

Surgeon,
Book OR 3
Doctor,
I’m overreacting
Jennifer,
Let me buy you a coffee
Romay,
I think I see the future
I’m 23
Looking back at me
Right now in hindsight

I’m sure that in another world
I tried hard

You weren’t just looking
For somewhere to go
You liked connecting things
With their shadows
Well I was good at being
Alone back then
My shadow copied
All I did
And this isn’t that song
That fixes everything
But it’s the one 
I can finally sing

Cause even with the gold rush
On a Saturday morning
You slowed down for me
Calling this breath more important

Now we’re striking gold
Without touching the land
Eureka, I found the sunrise
It’s pouring over our hands
The one thing that stuck to the plan

about

Randy's Got a Playdough Face Queens, New York

Having almost always recorded in a full band setting, Randy has allowed every instrument to mature with each release using influences that lend to the indie rock sweethearts like Death Cab for Cutie, Wilco, Modest Mouse, Slint, Sunny Day Real Estate, R.E.M.

Randy has a heavy focus on the “album” format, long chord progressions, and suspending song structures.

Thanks for being here.
