about

About the song, "No Myth (Live On Boston Emissions)" from the band:

This is the live cover we did of the Michael Penn classic "No Myth" as guests on "Boston Emissions with Anngelle Wood". Our Producer, Brian Charles, heard this version and invited us into Zippah Recording to do a full band studio version, which came out in 2017 on Zippah Records. This live, on the air version holds a spontaneous energy and we wanted to share it. It's just Jonathan singing and Eryk playing acoustic guitar so it's as raw as it gets. We really dig it and thought y'all might as well.

lyrics

So, she says it's time she goes
But wanted to be sure I know
She hopes we can be friends

I think, yeah, I guess we can say aye
But didn't think to ask her why
She blocked her eyes and drew the curtains
With knots I've got yet to untie

What if I were Romeo in black jeans
What if I was Heathcliff, it's no myth
Maybe she's just looking for
Someone to dance with

See, it was just too soon to tell
And looking for some parallel
Can be an endless game

We, we said goodbye before hello
My secrets she will never know
And if I dig a hole to China
I'll catch the first junk to Soho

What if I were Romeo in black jeans
What if I was Heathcliff, it's no myth
Maybe she's just looking for
Someone to dance with

Sometime from now you'll bow to pressure
Some things in life you cannot measure by degrees
I'm between the poles and the equator
Don't send no private investigator to find me please
'Less he speaks Chinese
And can dance like Astaire overseas, okay

What if I were
What if I was
Maybe she's just looking for
Someone to dance with

What if I were Romeo in black jeans
What if I was Heathcliff, it's no myth
Maybe she's just looking for
Someone to dance with
