1.	Tangled 03:46	lyrics	buy track
You sigh and you say That you feel smothered and strangled But there once was a day When we were tied up and tangled If you walk in that door I don’t know if I could face you But if you walk out that door I don’t know if I would chase you Oh no, oh no, oh no I can’t let you go Oh no, oh no, oh no I won’t let you go Cause all things considered and counted All cards laid on the table All things considered I love you And I want you to know I’m still tangled I’m still tangled You're the one who said That you didn't believe in forever But you stayed in my bed I guess a warm body is better Oh no, oh no, oh no I can’t let you go Oh no, oh no, oh no I won’t let you go Cause all things considered and counted All cards laid on the table All things considered I love you And I want you to know I’m still tangled I’m still tangled
2.	Chasing the Dark 04:41	lyrics	buy track
long days, can’t get enough of these long days, we’ve had such luck on these long days, i feel them slip, slipping away the sun sets, i should go to bed but i get dressed, in my shirt instead and i head west, back to the place i love best where everyone is having such fun as the night wears on, the bottles we’ve drunk make my head spin here comes the sun again eyes down, don’t look in her face keep your eyes down, your hands on your plate cause she’s out of bounds, and no you don’t want to tempt fate no you don’t want to tempt fate no you don’t want to tempt fate cause everyone is coming undone as the night wears on, the bottles we’ve drunk make my head spin here comes the sun again no i don’t want to go home oh no, i don’t want to go home alone cause all that’s waiting is darkness that’s fading to daylight that’s breaking my heart if you don’t mind me saying i think i’ll be staying right here chasing the dark chasing the dark chasing the dark
3.	Bizarre Love Triangle 03:27	lyrics	buy track
every time i think of you i feel a shock right through with a bolt of blue and it’s no problem of mine but it’s a problem i find living a life i can’t leave behind there’s no sense in telling me the wisdom of a fool won’t set you free but that’s the way that it goes and it’s what nobody knows everyday my confusion grows every time i see you falling i get down on my knees and pray i’m waiting for that final moment you say the words i feel fine, yeah, i feel good i feel like i never should whenever i get this way i just don’t know what to say why can’t we be ourselves like we were yesterday? i’m not sure what this could mean i don’t think you’re what you seem i do admit to myself that if i hurt someone else then i’d never see what we’re meant to be every time i see you falling i get down on my knees and pray i’m waiting for that final moment you say the words that i can’t say
4.	Last Year's Snow 03:09	lyrics	buy track
last year it barely even snowed here just enough to make you smile like a child but last year we said some things that i fear was just enough to make you disappear a while but don’t let it, don’t let it, don’t let it get you down i’m still here, i’m still here, i’m still here to help you out it’s all water, it’s all water under the bridge it’s all water, it’s all water under the bridge sometimes the one who loves you most might break your heart and sometimes they might change their mind so don’t cry, it all comes back like sunshine can come back after a long, cold winter time and so, just let it all go let it go, like last year’s snow it’s all water, it’s all water under the bridge it’s all water, it’s all water under the bridge
5.	Dreaming of New York (free) 03:19	lyrics	download
i still dream of new york but i’m not sure what i’m dreaming for cause all the girls have grown up and found someone to adore and i can’t keep up with the kids on the dance floor so why do i still dream of new york? i still dream of new york but i’m not sure what i’m dreaming for this taxi can’t take me where i want to go no magic can make me the one you wanted most so why do i still dream of new york?

about

Recorded in the winter, these songs can be sparse and a bit dark at times. But like a good scarf or radiator, some things in winter can still be very warm.

released December 17, 2011

I'd like to thank everyone who has supported me in my journey to make this EP. Two years ago, I decided to take my dream of making music seriously, and since then I have been surprised and blessed by the support of not just my friends but also of strangers. I wrote and recorded these songs with the enthusiasm of a beginner, with a beginner's mind. I hope anyone who listens can also feel some of the joy that I felt at the time of recording.

I'd especially like to thank Soojin Kwon for her artistic contributions in packaging, design and illustration. I can't begin to express the ways in which she continues to inspire me.

I'd also like to thank Hannah Shin, because she is as strong as a rock and as sweet as a flower.

I'd also like to give a big thanks to my Kickstarter backers, here listed in no particular order: Kristina Cohen, Irene Chin, Mihyun Ryu, Cecilia Bowen, Ha-oon Kim, Rozanna Leever, Kei Takahashi, Phivan Pham, Hannah Shin, Myungro Yoon, Naho Sugahara, Kanghyum Kim, Geof Jordan, Yoonji Han, and Mark Early

(And thanks mom and dad for getting me that recorder, flute, piano and guitar - and letting me practice until the wee hours.)
