Get Away was written and recorded over the fall of 2022 following Matt by chance meeting Gabriella, (Bloga Kate) from Lithuania at an event in Pittsburgh PA that his brother John Peacefire was performing at called Forge Got Talent. After striking up a conversation following Bloga Kate’s performance a musical collaboration commenced which lead to the songs recording over fall and winter of 2022/2023.
lyrics
Sometimes, we just need to get away, can you get away?
Start the care and let go down these windy roads
Allow that process to unfold, can we unfold ?
Life begins without thought, can’t it stay that way?
Reset these puzzled eyes into strangers again.
Would you meet me in a different place, with a different name?
Before the coals burn down to dust that we wished we hadn’t breathed
Would you see those deserts with me ?
Could we last even five years, breathing good and sleeping good,
Are we holding onto this what, love?
Is this love in the dark?
Is this love in the dark?
Are we blind or are we just starved?
By accident, make ripples in dark ponds
We so closely guard?
Befriend each other’s ghost, catch fevers, staring out at the stars?
(Bloga Katė)
Sometimes, I’m too afraid to move, but can we move?
You’ll hold the key, I’ll hold my breath, we’ll make it work.
I need to remember what it felt like
To feel safe.
Any day now, any day
Would you swing that river with me?
Would you move these mountains?
Let’s leave this city right before the dawn breaks.
Desolate highway…
