Astronaut 04:01
ASTRONAUT I’ve been living in this spacesuit And you’re the earth on the rise With forever between us I’m still in orbit around your smile Is it true am I still living with this Unforgiving part of myself Says I should never have turned away I’m scared that as I circle the sky I just might find The open door I’ve longed all along to see It’s impossible to comprehend How it’s possible That in every ending you and I Meet again Bouncing off these stars Are thoughts and words and actions And everything in between All these papier-mâché feelings Sometimes I sit back and I laugh at myself ‘Cause I know this life It’s just as strange as it seems Sometimes it’s so cold in this spacesuit Sometimes I just float in the dark I say Hey sun can you heal me Sun can you shield me Sun won’t you fill me with hope Hey sun won’t you fill me It’s impossible to comprehend How it’s possible That in every ending you and I Meet again Why so far away? Why so far away?

Azure 04:25
AZURE A little further to you, Azure I’ve got to show you how you matter I won’t wait anymore You are sunken and beautiful Sunken and beautiful Come up She thinks “Someday, somewhere away I’ll be right by me Laugh so hard, laugh till nothing’s heavy But for now I’ll stay Down here you move too fast it’s deadly” There below the breeze I know everything’s beautiful But I’m here Be here I circle round and round until dawn The water goes still You must be just there Come up So I’m home It’s all lit up in lanterns Letters come back And all the maps Scattered I won’t wait anymore Out there you are Sunken and beautiful What’s it all for? I could’ve sworn you were lost Now I’m not sure I’m here Be here Not out in the azure

THESE EASY NIGHTS When we break up It’s like we’re never going Anywhere at all You come to make up You’re smiling and your eyes are fire From the middle of a star So I stay in your video for now The one with you and me Our futures all pan out These easy nights I could get used to your hands in mine These easy nights With you Turn your face on The one that loves me more than All your older loves Make ‘em jealous ‘Cause we’re in heaven They’re just easy forgets You say it’s time for doubts to come true Or it’s time to give up leaving you These easy nights I could get used to your hands in mine These easy nights Are better than all that came before These easy nights With you Come on wake up Don’t wanna miss our time Awake out in the world Where hearts are breaking Mine is working hard Working into you Stay in my video for now Let’s just hit play We’ll make it all work out These easy nights I could get used to your hands in mine These easy nights Are better than all that came before These easy nights With you

Ahead 04:10
AHEAD Some water to my girl She runs outside To the dust, to the world No look behind, I… Try to follow as things grow Feel older when she is free It’s not to keep up but to know She’s perfectly ahead of me Spilling over as she goes They all run to see her ‘Cause she’ll leave But for now So happy she’s come by Try to follow as things grow Feel older now she is free It’s not to keep up but to know She’s perfectly ahead of me Hey, where ya goin’? Where ya goin’? And what did you know all along? Hear about her, it’s been years She passes through and they say It’s like lifetimes to live So long So sweetly She moves on Try to follow as things grow It’s not to keep up, well I know Feel older and she is free She’s perfectly ahead of me

Come By 04:33
COME BY By candlelight we tell stories Flowers, hearts, and stones On the radio our favorite voices Every night it’s you I say come by, I wait Look up the night’s a different place Here I lie, the porch feels old Till morning’s lonely on my face Collect your toys in my room All our noises In the walls come through Every word I wanna say You put behind you I say come by, I wait Look up the night’s a different place Here I lie, the porch feels old Till morning’s lonely on my face Just don’t try too hard To find a place for me in there Know your blood goes cold When morning toes Can’t feel your own bed Just sleep we’ll be better And we’re so long together I’m slow to remember So it’s all in letters by the fire I am alright if it’s you See my best side smiling through Let the world fly by All alight if it’s you All alight if it’s you I say come by, I wait Look up the night’s a different place Here I lie, the porch feels old Till morning’s lonely on my face Just don’t try too hard To find a place for me in there Know your blood goes cold When morning toes Can’t feel your own bed Train’s on time But all the windows show The same damn face Walked the rails for years Now I can feel the distance always

Clay 05:54
CLAY I awoke all dreamy-eyed Then glued to you Swear no oak or bone ever so grew Just there I was In our finest hour Strawberry patches Cheeks so red with touches Indebted to the scene Aloud, you and me, we give way To the tune created And to the way Some light hints at then shines Only on this skin To all we begin I thought of leaving this Then frightened open eyes Might not find you All cuddled and near I’m way beyond the noise And it’s all clear I’m breathing you in here So slowly On a fall afternoon And now I give way To the tune created And to the way Some light hints at then shines Only on this skin To all we begin Maybe it’s this way Throw a heart out to the ocean It’ll come back okay Till then we sit and wait For these things that keep the distance To settle into clay I awoke all dreamy-eyed Then glued to you Swear no oak or bone ever so grew Maybe it’s this way Throw a heart out to the ocean It’ll come back okay Till then we sit and wait For these things that keep the distance To settle into clay Alone today I find myself Alone today You went away Left me by myself Alone today

BRING YOU ROUND Hey love, is that you in the parking lot? I wave and I watch you get into her car In the back seat A blanket and a pillow A quick look out the window And I’m after you, I’m after you Keeping a distance I’m close but out of view Kind of like we are racing Know I could win but I let you Wish we could stop moving There’s so much to tell you You say I’m wasting I’m wasting my time Oh I will bring you round Bring you round Think you’ve been waiting So long for some light You miss it when it’s not even hiding Then her car stops She tells you “Choose, you in or not?” I think “Hey, come on, come on Just one step out Then we’re driving till the lines are deep In our skin And all this running we’ll smile about it You can only run to me” Chorus Chorus I will bring you round, bring you round I will bring you round
8.
SO TIRED (FEAT. NICK VOTE) I am so tired The sun will rise But I won’t see Through pillows keeping my eyes behind I am so tired They’ll draw my eyes For bedtime stories Like ships at sea But you will bring your candles still And burn your way through I am so tired We only climb To such a height Before we sink into sleep I am so tired I can’t say why Life and me Don’t get on easy and kind But you will bring your candles still And burn your way through Burn your way through I am so tired I wanna find Perfectly Someone dreaming with me Perfectly Someone dreaming with me

Venice 05:28
VENICE Memory paints us together on a bench Lamplight, sipping wine, touching hands Vienna’s still a day away But in Venice we’re acrylic confluence A vacation from a vacation I’m near the end To go with you I’m a changed man To stay here by the water I’m lost again So I wait on over by the plane Picturing all the ways You might bump into me Out here all alone and runway pacing I want to be allowed to wait for you Not to keep you just inside a song line Where I could stay intimate and shaping The mornings are so strange Waking up alone It’s making me slow with my days I tell myself the distance is just fine I’m on the plane Drifting I play with your voice Hope is pushing these moments into days Soon you’ll call just to say Hey, let’s you and me go for a night drive We’ll work our ways back into each other If we slip a bit that’s okay In good time we’ll recover The mornings are so strange Waking up alone It’s making me slow with my days I tell myself the distance is just fine Do you ever think you see me Asleep on my side of the bed Reach out and finger-trace The old contours of my head So forget me, go on please Forget me, make it easy I get there step inside So I guess you really didn’t stop me I’m away, in a way always packing Settle in a bit already letters written “Old friend, I’m in the middle of new. Head still spinning, sky still blue, I’m okay. Cat to calm, neighbors we say a word or two in passing. I miss all of you, my old jigsaw view of you.” Chorus So forget me, go on please, forget me Make it easy, make it easy Oh in Venice It’s 4 AM in Venice I’m alive in Venice Stagger away from Venice I’ll make it back someday

Smiles Win 03:43
SMILES WIN Walk up to the bar Get a drink look over and whoa there’s you It’s been 20 years Should I say hello hello hello Where does the time go? But no talking I’m hit with the life we spent together We were so right When we were kids And I wish we were young like then Watch you try not to grin But your smiles win Hey your smiles win See your smiles win Oh love It’s been two days since I saw you That won’t do Gotta run next door to you In your room All our stars were lined up I tried as I got older Tried but no one Knows me like you do Chorus All the summers where Our days were so long The sun never turned off at all And the winters You were my angel in the snow Laughing So cold Still laughing Now maybe you’re sitting here too Thinking how it would be To be there Young again with me Maybe memories are all we’ll know Maybe you’ve moved so far on Hey baby, hello, hello! 20 years, the pictures we could’ve hung Let’s not know another without love
11.
WISHES OF YOU I never was better Than with you near You’d always see me hiding No one finds me anymore Or knows I’m here I’m looking for a storm to hide my tracks To turn the pages back Where I’m the wishes of you Where I’m the wishes of you I think to grow Is like singing in the snow The quiet of your own voice As your face gets cold Chorus I lay my head in someone’s night Another pillow in disguise Touch the window Still outside And it’s so snowy Chorus

Recover 04:41
RECOVER This room so nice With the bullet holes gets so breezy This one I like How the chemicals come so easily Hang tight while I ink the deal Signs around me say alright Looks like black and blue for me My friend for life Try tonight for the colder places Light blue faces with eyes inside Come to them ‘Cause only they can see me right Really laughing, bags dragging ‘long I recover Through the double vision Sliding down to someone other Toes to water I’m inside her for a while There’s a comfort there Here I hide But my friends will find me if I keep quiet No use outside For my savoir-faire Unaware, I paint and climb Till I’m looking down See no people round at all I recover Through the tunnel vision Sliding down to someone other Toes to water Thought I’d fall a long long time There’s a comfort there There’s a comfort there From I don’t care And I’m not running I’m not running out Not running out of air Come my day, come my day Recover Through the tunnel vision Sliding down to someone other Toes to water Thought I’d fall a long long time There’s a comfort there (I recover)

TRYING FOR THE MOON So warm and sweet The music filled us We eased offstage Into the stillness We were trying for Trying for the moon Through the screen door I hear the trees When we were new You were that breeze We were trying for Trying for Trying for the moon Others they fill my days like rain Oh I burn on They all empty away We sail West Disarmed and free Each other’s light reflecting We are trying for We are trying for Trying for the moon

about

"These Easy Nights" is my first album in 17 years (I do hope to make another album prior to senescence). Over a year and a half in the making, this album of 14 songs is a mix of new songs and of reworkings of tunes I have previously recorded. The arrangements are full and it has a great vibe to it.

Making this album was an amazing process and I couldn't have done it without Stacy Hogan's talents. It worked like this: I sent my songs and ideas to Stacy, we agreed on the arrangements, then Stacy hired musicians recorded the majority of the instruments and sent the rough mixes back to me. I played vocals and guitar, I also hired out vocals on 5 of my songs that needed different voices. Technology enables us to scour the country and planet to find musicians to record with, which makes for a lot of fun searching; however, it also means I have had to give up more control than I wanted to. Letting go of the songs and allowing others to shape them made for a much better album in the end. I hope you enjoy my songs, and don't listen too much as they may need to last you about 17 years or so.

Cheers,
Dan Frick
