about

Written just before the Fourth of July 2020. Vocals recorded January 6, 2021 while Congress was under siege.

lyrics

Just to add a little something extra
How about some fireworks?
Never ending fireworks.
We wished it would come apart.
We wished and we wished
And then it did
And anything was possible
Good or bad.
And we looked inside ourselves because we had to
And there were fireworks
And butterflies
In the vast empty chasm
Where our character was supposed to be.
They should have a name
For the two weeks in between
The nineteenth of June
And the fourth of July.
Will there be fireworks
When we find a new way
Of doing things?
That’s what we’re doing, right?
Sketching it out?
Who’s really free?
I guess we’ll see.
Fireworks
Fireworks
Every day deserves fireworks
When you’re throwing away
What needed throwing away.
Independence day is the day in between
Something dying and something being born.
Everybody’s always taking all they can get
And the fishes always seem to swim right into their net
But they haven’t had an honest accounting yet.
Choices choices choices, please mind your voices.
We will be having fireworks.
Fireworks in a deeply breathing sky
Fireworks on a Saturday, the fourth of July.
Fireworks
Fireworks

Disappearing Ink Baltimore, Maryland

New album 6/1/23 from Baltimore songwriter/producer Lawrence Lanahan's band Disappearing Ink! On The Charm of Abstraction, Lanahan abandons guitar for mesmerizing synths, intricately programmed beats, imaginative sampling, and occasional rhymes. Even with a new sound, his core songwriting voice--“melodic and lyrical invention,” “chilling chord progressions,” “rare honesty and power"- remains. ... more
