LYRICS When you least expect it When you've reached the end There's a door that opens up After every setting sun And when you step through it With nothing left to lose
Leaving only memories of All the days you filled with love I'm afraid I don't know how to say goodbye
I will always miss you Never be the same Yellow sun is rising up And for the last time shining down on us I'm afraid and I don't wanna say goodbye
Oh but what comes after the setting sun? What if we are all we've got? What if no one’s there when you need someone just to lean on?
There never was a right time In the course of a lifetime And nothing ever stays the same Running down this daisy chain The more it all slips away, the more you try to fight it
Oh but what comes after the setting sun? What if we are all we got? What if no one’s there when you need someone Just to lean on?
Here comes the setting sun
Sometimes hearts disappear this way And I know how it feels when it’s taken away And I know the more you let it go, the more you’re alive

LYRICS I don’t remember asking for any of this Life and death at the same time It’s not how we imagined it when we were kids Descending from the same line We finally learned to open up the aperture Such a long time coming This far along you thought you would be happier But in the distance I can hear the drumming
Come alive Come alive Come alive What does it feel like? Come alive Come alive Come alive What does it feel like?
Cuz I can tell your heart’s not in it What would it take to realize There is no end and no beginning There’s only now Open your eyes
You and I were just ghosts in the machinery Hiding there in plain sight Moving too fast to make sense of the scenery Always falling from a great height You get tired of hearing “it is what it is, you’ll never rise above it” I know this place has always been mysterious But life’s too short to be afraid of it
And I can tell your heart’s not in it What will it take to realize There is no end and no beginning There’s only now, open your eyes Some day you’ll find all you’ve left behind And wonder why your hearts not in it It’s not too late for you and I
Time was made for running out Don’t know why it took so long Sun was made for coming out Even though the night is long
I wonder why your heart’s not in it What will it take to realize There is no end and no beginning There’s only love The nucleus dividing and repeating at the speed of light I wonder why your heart’s not in it It’s not too late, open your eyes
Come alive, come alive, come alive. What does it feel like? Come alive, come alive, come alive. What does it feel like?
Time was made for running out Don’t know why it took so long Sun was made for coming out Even though the night is long

Before you let it pass you by Lying awake, night after night Staring at the ceiling You were afraid but god knows why What’s it gonna take honey, for you to believe there might be a better life waiting?
Don’t make it worse, let it go past Maybe we’ll find the time to walk again in the sun Before the darkness that comes around for everyone And I know that it’s hard on you But it’s hard on me too honey we’re lost together
I know that I’ll believe in you Honey if you’ll believe in me But I know it’s hard to do Because I don’t believe in anything Honey and I’ll believe in you Only if you’ll believe in me But I know it’s hard to do because I don’t wanna believe in me.
Where did you lose the fire in your eyes Little blue embers Funny the way the well runs dry Used to feel something Used to believe the power lies, somewhere inside I couldn’t see that there was a better life waiting
I know it hurts, and it goes fast We didn’t take the time to walk together in the sun Before the darkness honey that came just like I knew it would And I know I was hard on you You were hard on me too Maybe we’re lost forever
But I know that I’ll believe in you Honey if you believe in me And I know it’s hard to do Because I don’t believe in anything Honey and I’ll believe in you only if you’ll believe in me But I know it’s hard to do because I don’t wanna believe in me.
When you were young and you were alive When you were young and you were alive

LYRICS Lately I’ve been spending time with my sins I feel you worried who’s driving No-one but you will tell me the truth So I beg you, don’t go easy on me
I know you bend and bend and bend So I can feel free And never do or say a thing to make me agree
I want you to see what you mean to me
I don’t wanna break you down Or say goodbye to you And after all the plans we made, why would I lie to you? I don’t wanna tear you down Or come home crying to you I don’t wanna live and die never knowing what it’s like to be close to you
We were blind from the bright Of the morning sunlight In the rearview where the glass was glowing Both holding back With a lonely black dog in the doorway So the bruises wouldn’t show
That’s when you said you’d never share the depths of your heart And made it known to me you’d never let down your guard
I don’t wanna break you down Or say goodbye to you And after all the plans we made, why would I lie to you? I don’t wanna tear you down Or come home crying to you I don’t wanna live and die never knowing what it’s like to be close to you
Don’t give up on me Don’t give up on me
I don’t wanna break you down Or say goodbye to you And after all the plans we made, why would I lie to you? I don’t wanna tear you down Or come home crying to you I don’t wanna live and die never knowing what it’s like to be close to you I don’t wanna live and die never knowing what it’s like to be told the truth
Don’t give up on me Don’t give up on me Don’t give up on me
#TheHeadAndTheHeart #GhostsInTheMachinery #Aperture #TimeWithMySins #AcousticThe Head And The Heart - Fire Escape (Ghost No. 4)The Head And The Heart2026-01-23 | There’s a fire escape outside of one of the dressing rooms at Seattle’s historic Paramount Theater where after a show many of us would crawl through the window to get some fresh air, smoke some cigarettes and watch as the audience filed out of the doors below. Those moments felt like exclamation points after a passage from an ecstatic poem. You never fully know the shape of the story until, to your surprise, it’s planted its image firmly in the rearview mirror. From that point on it’s just fragments of magic, joy, hope, pain, love and loss and you’re lucky if you can hang on to a little piece of it. This is a love song to those early days, re-imagined here in stark instrumentation. Hopefully it carries with it some that old feeling you can never seem to find, but keep searching for nonetheless.
"Fire Escape" (Ghost No. 4)” is out everywhere now: TheHeadAndTheHeart.lnk.to/GhostsInTheMachinery
Ghosts In The Machinery will be available across all streaming platforms on February 27
LYRICS I woke up in the alley by the ashtray In the pink glow of the neon exit sign When I looked up to see you leaning over me with eyes wide I must have just been sifting through the twilight For that feeling I could never seem to find When you came out to find me here exactly at the right time I didn’t know it then, but it was destiny in hindsight
We went out for a smoke on the fire escape So sure of ourselves in those early days I thought I had my head on straight But I’m not so sure of that now
How many years stretch out like rubber bands behind us? Now you’re standing in the doorway like a ghost There’s still time enough to talk of all the memories we piled high It’s so damn good to see you Ain’t it strange the way the time flies?
We went out for a smoke on the fire escape With that feeling you get when the night’s getting late I swear I had my head on straight But I’m not so sure of that now
We settled in for the long dark night And faded like the Stars and Stripes We watched it all go up in flames That morning on the fire escape
And I can’t find the words I’ve been wanting to say But my friend rest assured it’ll all be okay I’ve finally got my head on straight Let it all drift away And let’s climb to the top of the fire escape All this time that we spent wasn’t all just a waste I swear I had my head on straight But I’m not so sure of that now
#TheHeadAndTheHeart #GhostsInTheMachinery #FireEscapeThe Head And The Heart - Arrow (Ghost No. 2)The Head And The Heart2025-11-28 | This past April we all hunkered down together for a week or so in Richmond, VA. The idea was to reimagine some of the tracks off of Aperture, with a clean slate and no rules or direction. I remember feeling pretty uncertain whether or not we’d be able to pull it off with the time given and was genuinely worried that the trip in itself could end up feeling like a waste. Any doubts I had were quickly snuffed out as we got to work. These handful of days were maybe the most enjoyable I’ve ever had in the studio. Ideas were explored, new instruments were picked up, and beauty was made. With no huge goal or expectation hanging over our heads it gave us the ability to relax into the process and trust each other’s instincts as we uncovered more and more. It was a cathartic release that gives me goosebumps even thinking about it. Not only were we very happy with the results, but we learned a lot about ourselves in the process and how to better approach future and more ambitious projects. We love creating music and sharing what we make with you all more than anything in the world! Thank you for continuing to support us and allow us to do what we do. Really think you’re in for a treat with this one! Ghosts In The Machinery is 7 tracks and out today for Record Store Day Black Friday!
LYRICS You caught me staring off the cliff again And looking down on everyone Wish my goodbyes could be more innocent But every part just wants to run
I have this deep, deep feeling in my ribs again I just keep, keep moving on Like the deep, deep current of the riverbend I have to keep, keep, keep moving on
There’s times I need direction There’s times I need to roam I move station to station I showed up here alone I am my own arrow I am my own home
It’s all right It’s all right It’s all I’ve ever known It’s all right It’s all right
It’s all right It’s all right It’s all I’ve ever known It’s all right It’s all right
So if you’re falling through the cracks again Maybe the fall was by design Cuz someone’s gonna break your heart again That’s just proof that you’re alive I have this deep, deep feeling in my ribs again I just keep, keep, keep moving on
There’s times I need direction There’s times I need to roam I move station to station I showed up here alone I am my own arrow I am my own home
It’s all right It’s all right It’s all I’ve ever known It’s all right It’s all right
It’s all right It’s all right It’s all I’ve ever known It’s all right It’s all right There’s times I need direction There’s times I need to roam I move station to station I showed up here alone I am my own arrow I am my own home

Hurray For The Riff RaffThe Head And The Heart2025-09-12 | #Aperture #TheHeadAndTheHeart #CopCar I remember watching (online) Hurray For The Riff Raff years ago outside of someone’s house in New Orleans to a couple dozen people. One of those videos where you feel lucky to discover as the artist starts to quickly climb to greater heights. Alynda’s voice, presence and song writing grabbed me right away. The Head And The Heart had the pleasure of touring with them not long after that and I have been a fan ever since. Recently I was listening to the radio and their song Alibi came on. It’s funny, two very two different songs but I heard her voice again and I just had to ask… will you sing with me on Cop Car. I am very grateful she said yes and now we have this version of Cop Car featuring Alynda to share with you all.
So please, roll down your windows and turn this one up - Jon
Ever ride in a cop car at night Having a good time til I heard somebody say hands behind your back and I made a stupid face Everything was fine Mindin my oh mine (They) think I’m on drugs And flipped me upside down I made a face, called you a clown I’m riding in a cop car tonight I’m riding in a cop car tonight Looking outside as the blinks go by Wondering how we gonna die So I’ll see you in court they say How much money can you get away Oh I hear he’s shameless I hear he’s dangerous He wouldn’t look me in the eyes Riding in a cop car tonight Take me on a boat ride babe Drop me in the middle of the sea Make me swim home, tell me I’m wrong At least I’ll be clean for a week Riding in a cop car tonight Lotta time to think what’s right Oh my wife, another in time I wonder how she’ll stick through the ride Been in the sun too long Didn’t know to call it off Under the light cover of night Never knew when to run Takin my time makin’ it right Ridin in a cop tonight I’m ridin’ in a cop car tonight chasin’ those blinkin’ lights A Brooks N’ Dunn song Just leave me alone This little light of mine I’m gonna let it shine Takin my time making it right This little light of mine I’m gonna let it shine Takin my time making it right This little light of mine I’m gonna let it shine Takin my time making it right

LYRICS A yellow moon ascending just as our whole world was ending Dreams both good and bad were coming true The streetlight in your welled-up eyes Like eyes of god reflecting You can’t take back what’s been done to you
All eyes are on you After all you’ve gone through Still can’t remember anything
All eyes are on you And I don’t want to But I know I have to set you free
Maybe the sun’ll come out tomorrow And we won’t have to beg, steal or borrow Maybe the clouds will at least have silvery lines Heaven knows we’ve grown tired of waiting For our eyes to be dilating Give me a sign, someday maybe we’ll see the light
Your face turned towards the wind Just like a wild orchid bending You were flying, I was trying to Sirens in the morning light And silence on the other side I can’t help that I felt like crying too
Distance makes the heart seem weightless but the further you walk away the more it comes rushing back to you And maybe the sun’ll come out tomorrow You won’t have to beg, steal or borrow Maybe the clouds will at least have silvery lines Heaven knows we’ve grown tired of waiting for our eyes to be dilating Give me a sign, someday maybe we’ll see the light
All this waiting always fading All this time it’s taken to come back to me Come back to me Come back to me
I’m afraid what it might take to save me from my self now ‘Cause I’m out of hope. A lonely voice in a silo I’m afraid what it might take to save me from myself now How could I know we were walking on such a long road
Maybe the sun’ll come out tomorrow We won’t have to beg steal or borrow Give me a sign Someday maybe we’ll see the light
Maybe the sun’ll come out tomorrow We won’t have to beg steal or borrow Give me a sign Someday maybe we’ll see the light
All this waiting always fading All this time it’s taken to come back to me Come back to me Come back to me
I’m afraid what it might take to save me from myself now, ‘cause I’m out of hope A lonely voice in a silo

#TheHeadAndTheHeart #TimeWithMySins #Acoustic #ApertureThe Head And The Heart - Blue Embers (Visualizer)The Head And The Heart2025-04-11 | Everything is overwhelming.
Everything is overwhelming. Everything always feels like it’s always coming to an end. And the feeling that it’s all ending seems never ending. But it does end. And then things open up. But before it opens, it seems like it won’t. Like it couldn’t possibly ever open up. But then if you hold on long enough, it does. There’s always something inviting you to the next thing. Even when you’ve convinced yourself that it would never do that. Not for you. But then it does. When you let it do what it has to do to you. And when you do, it just keeps opening and opening over and over until the thing that seemed never ending is only a memory. So when you’re thinking that it’s never gonna end, remember that it does. And it can be beautiful, if you let it be.
Blue Embers was written in that never-ending, always-ending space. If it weren’t for music, that space would be harder and harder to see through. And if you’re in there right now, know that you’re not alone, that it does open up, and that there’s beauty on the other side you can’t even imagine. Just hold on.

LYRICS
When you were young and you were alive Before you let it pass you by Lying awake, night after night Staring at the ceiling You were afraid but god knows why What’s it gonna take honey, for you to believe there might be a better life waiting?
Don’t make it worse, let it go past Maybe we’ll find the time to walk again in the sun Before the darkness that comes around for everyone And I know that it’s hard on you But it’s hard on me too honey we’re lost together
I know that I’ll believe in you Honey if you’ll believe in me But I know it’s hard to do Because I don’t believe in anything Honey and I’ll believe in you Only if you’ll believe in me But I know it’s hard to do because I don’t wanna believe in me.
Where did you lose the fire in your eyes Little blue embers Funny the way the well runs dry Used to feel something Used to believe the power lies, somewhere inside I couldn’t see that there was a better life waiting
I know it hurts, and it goes fast We didn’t take the time to walk together in the sun Before the darkness honey that came just like I knew it would And I know I was hard on you You were hard on me too Maybe we’re lost forever
But I know that I’ll believe in you Honey if you believe in me And I know it’s hard to do Because I don’t believe in anything Honey and I’ll believe in you only if you’ll believe in me But I know it’s hard to do because I don’t wanna believe in me.
When you were young and you were alive When you were young and you were alive

LYRICS
When you least expect it When you've reached the end There's a door that opens up After every setting sun And when you step through it With nothing left to lose
Leaving only memories of All the days you filled with love I'm afraid I don't know how to say goodbye
I will always miss you Never be the same Yellow sun is rising up And for the last time shining down on us I'm afraid and I don't wanna say goodbye
Oh but what comes after the setting sun? What if we are all we've got? What if no one’s there when you need someone just to lean on?
There never was a right time In the course of a lifetime And nothing ever stays the same Running down this daisy chain The more it all slips away, the more you try to fight it
Oh but what comes after the setting sun? What if we are all we got? What if no one’s there when you need someone Just to lean on?
Here comes the setting sun
Sometimes hearts disappear this way And I know how it feels when it’s taken away And I know the more you let it go, the more you’re alive

LYRICS
Lately I’ve been spending time with my sins I feel you worried who’s driving No-one but you will tell me the truth So I beg you, don’t go easy on me
I know you bend and bend and bend So I can feel free And never do or say a thing to make me agree
I want you to see what you mean to me I don’t wanna break you down Or say goodbye to you And after all the plans we made, why would I lie to you? I don’t wanna tear you down Or come home crying to you I don’t wanna live and die never knowing what it’s like to be close to you
We were blind from the bright Of the morning sunlight In the rearview where the glass was glowing Both holding back With a lonely black dog in the doorway So the bruises wouldn’t show
That’s when you said you’d never share the depths of your heart And made it known to me you’d never let down your guard
I don’t wanna break you down Or say goodbye to you And after all the plans we made, why would I lie to you? I don’t wanna tear you down Or come home crying to you I don’t wanna live and die never knowing what it’s like to be close to you
Don’t give up on me Don’t give up on me
I don’t wanna break you down Or say goodbye to you And after all the plans we made, why would I lie to you? I don’t wanna tear you down Or come home crying to you I don’t wanna live and die never knowing what it’s like to be close to you
I don’t wanna live and die never knowing what it’s like to be told the truth
Don’t give up on me Don’t give up on me Don’t give up on me

LYRICS You caught me staring off the cliff again And looking down on everyone Wish my goodbyes could be more innocent But every part just wants to run
I have this deep, deep feeling in my ribs again I just keep, keep moving on Like the deep, deep current of the riverbend I have to keep, keep, keep moving on
There’s times I need direction There’s times I need to roam I move station to station I showed up here alone I am my own arrow I am my own home
It’s all right It’s all right It’s all I’ve ever known It’s all right It’s all right
It’s all right It’s all right It’s all I’ve ever known It’s all right It’s all right
So if you’re falling through the cracks again Maybe the fall was by design Cuz someone’s gonna break your heart again That’s just proof that you’re alive
I have this deep, deep feeling in my ribs again I just keep, keep, keep moving on Like the deep, deep current of the riverbend I have to keep, keep, keep moving on
There’s times I need direction There’s times I need to roam I move station to station I showed up here alone I am my own arrow I am my own home
It’s all right It’s all right It’s all I’ve ever known It’s all right It’s all right
It’s all right It’s all right It’s all I’ve ever known It’s all right It’s all right
There’s times I need direction There’s times I need to roam I move station to station I showed up here alone I am my own arrow I am my own home
