about

A love song written for friends. Sometimes people walk into your life and make an indelible impression. It shapes your life from there on out. Undoubtedly, the biggest relationship on my life was befriending two young artists from Cedar Falls, Iowa just like that. There are many small moments, in-jokes, direct memories and misremembered visions of this friendship, ideally creating the image that says to the audience "When the right people come along, let them in."

lyrics

Two strangers are
knocking at your door
More unlike anything
You've seen before
Paisley jacket
Men in hair barrettes
Musical instruments
Hidden in pockets

They
Want
To live with you

They're
Here
For the interview

So open
Open
Open that door
Let them in
That door

Blasting beats
After midnight
The new sincerity is
Going alright
Gentle chaos
Are you like us?
Work ethic, very polite
Midwestern artist types

They
Have
Something to say to you
They
Think
You're really cool

So open
Open
Open that door
Let them in
That door

If you're like a
Baby chick
Peaking from the shell
Trying to see
What to bring to Show And Tell
They'll hold a mirror for you
You'll do it for them too
They'll hold a mirror for you
You'll do it for them too

So open
Open
Open that door
Let them in
That door

Though he has very little to show for it, it is the train he is on and will not be jumping off any time soon. ... more
