Amy Hunter Each song has an edge that, for better or worse, drives me back to an earlier version of myself. I dig it. Favorite track: Nothing More Than Right Now.

Envelope calculations break down, those calculations break down Everyone feels so snug in their beds, so many people snug in their beds Malfunctions eat the skyline, there’s a fire that eats the skyline Grab the kids, grab the keys, grab the food, grab the gun, grab the dog, grab the booze, and hide from the blast Try to run, try to hide, try to flinch, try to fall, try to fight, try to live, and hide from the blast Shield their eyes, shield their face, shield their ears, shield their mouths, shield their skin, shield their clothes, and hide from the blast Hide your fear, hide your pain, hide your cries, hide your tears, hide your hate, hide your death, from the kids Freaks and the geeks and the punks and the bores and the losers and the drunks and the bottom feeding whores They wanted to see and they wanted to fry and they wanted to die and they wanted it today Freaks and the geeks and the punks and the bores and the losers and the drunks and the bottom feeding whores In the brightest light is the darkest shadow, covered eyes but the hands are hollow Freaks and the geeks and the punks and the bores and the losers and the drunks and the bottom feeding whores You know hope is a terrible thing, it holds you, and crushes you, and keeps you down Freaks and the geeks and the punks and the bores and the losers and the drunks and those motherfucking whores Hanging on a thread of what they wanted (asked for) It’ll take more than a wing and a prayer (to get us back) Hanging on a thread of what they wanted (asked for) It’ll take more than a wing and a prayer (to get us back) Hanging on a thread of what they wanted (asked for) It’ll take more than a wing and a prayer (to get us back) Hanging on a thread of what they wanted (asked for) It’ll take more than a wing and a prayer (to get us back) Hanging on a thread of what they wanted (asked for) It’ll take more than a wing and a prayer (to get us back) Hanging on a thread of what they… Envelope calculations break down, those calculations break down Everyone feels so snug in their beds, so many people snug in their beds Malfunctions eat the skyline, there’s a fire that eats the skyline

You think you know about their friends You think you know about their ways You think you know about their lives But where are they runnin Where are they runnin to? They think you tried to save yourself They think you tried to leave this time They think you tried to track them down But why are you lying And who are you lying to? BRING DOWN Your hand THOUGHTS OF Your chance BLOOD WORK BRING DOWN Your hand THOUGHTS OF Your chance BLOOD WORK BRING DOWN Your hand THOUGHTS OF Your chance BLOOD WORK You think you know where they went You think you know how they left You think you know why they fled But where are they runnin Where are they runnin to? They think you tried to hide somewhere They think you tried to break away They think you tried to clean the wound But why are you lying And who are you lying to? Where are they runnin Where are they runnin to? Where are they runnin Where are they runnin to? Flame in the fire you tried to keep alive While you sat alone and had to close your eyes Death stole your breath before you realized Most you could forget was when the moth took to flight Flame in the fire you tried to keep alive While you sat alone and had to close your eyes Death stole your breath before you realized Most you could forget was when the moth took to flight BRING DOWN THOUGHTS OF BLOOD WORK

I don’t wanna know I don’t wanna know what I said I don’t wanna know what you thought I don’t wanna know how you felt when you tried to sleep and I don’t wanna think I don’t wanna think that I lied I don’t wanna think that you tried I don’t wanna think that I’m okay because I’m not and I don’t wanna be I don’t wanna be the enemy I don’t wanna be your specialty I don’t wanna be what I’ve become when you’re set free and I don’t wanna feel I don’t wanna feel the hurt inside I don’t wanna feel the pain I cried I don’t wanna feel the knives tonight and how deep they cut Somebody please tell me what to do Somebody please tell me what to do I’m okay, I’ll be fine I’m okay Hate to admit that I'm wrong but I know it There's pain inside and you show it My actions were done and subconscious Felt right at the time but I knew it was nonsense I'm at a struggle with your heart And really don’t know what could have pushed me that far But I know I can't take back what I did But I'll do whatever it takes for you to forgive I know it's a long shot Don't wanna lose ya, you're all that I got Hurting you so it was never in the plot But I'm here to right my wrong and bring ya pain to a stop Hope it's not too late, hope you haven't closed that gate Your impact on my life, it just can't be replaced I wish could go back in time but I can't But I will show you today that I can make a change Let’s go Crickets in the sunlight, we stop and fight Like crickets in the sunlight, we stop and fight Crickets in the sunlight, we stop and fight Like crickets in the sunlight, we stop and fight

Blinds 05:33
The blinds stay shut!! I force myself to smile Sometimes it’s so hard, to force a smile You think that everything is just fine But nothing seems right inside You’ll never know how it feels Or how long those nights, seem to take And all you’ll hear, is that junk And you can keep thinking, I’m just fine You’ll never know what you did I’ll never let you know, how this stung I’ll keep on faking when you’re around And you’ll keep on thinking I’ve been found I try to keep the blinds shut I don’t like to let, the inside in The curtains are drawn as tight as they can But the voices seem to start, over again… I’ve carried this for so long Somedays I don’t know, what’s in store But the machine, helps face the night When everything starts to feel alright The words start to sting more Living in your fantasy, everyday The rain should come, and wash away All the colors, that you paint Let me be alone this once Let me lie under, the covers of my thoughts Just give me space, some time to think And listen to the sound, of time slowing down Burned in a fire, buried in the sand Locked down deep inside or clenched in the hand Burned in a fire, buried in the sand Locked down deep inside or clenched in the hand Burned in a fire, buried in the sand Locked down deep inside or clenched in the hand Burned in a fire, buried in the sand Locked down deep inside or clenched in the hand Locked down deep inside or clenched in the… My words don’t come out right I clench my fist, and try again You don’t notice what I’ve said Just ignore my voice, and hang your head Your colors are see-thru I always thought I wanted you to know How hard it was, to carry on But now I see, your vanity I swallowed what you fed me And then made sure, those blinds were shut The curtains were drawn as tight as they could But the voices seem to start, all over again Burned in a fire, buried in the sand Locked down deep inside or clenched in the hand Burned in a fire, buried in the sand Locked down deep inside or clenched in the hand Burned in a fire, buried in the sand Locked down deep inside or clenched in the hand Burned in a fire, buried in the sand Locked down deep inside or clenched in the hand Locked down deep inside or clenched in the…

I tried so hard, so hard But nothing felt right, felt right Covered myself with dust, with dust So I could feel alive, alive I’m frozen in time, in time My words get trapped in ice, in ice Open them up and find, and find A coffin filled with stars, stars Operator don’t drop the line Please don’t disconnect the line Don’t transfer me again ’Cause all I want to do is DANCE! All I wanted to do was dance On the backs of your angels All I wanted to do was dance On the backs of your angels It doesn’t matter what you said It doesn’t matter what you did The only thing you know that matters And what really matters Is what you do right now It doesn’t matter what you said It doesn’t matter what you did The only thing you know that matters And what really matters Is what you do right now It doesn’t matter what you said It doesn’t matter what you did The only thing you know that matters And what really matters Is what you do right now It doesn’t matter what you said It doesn’t matter what you did The only thing you know that matters And what really matters Is what you do right now

Once upon a time, a king gave a feast. And there came the most beautiful princesses of the realm. Now, a soldier, who was standing guard, saw the king's daughter go by. She was the most beautiful one, and he immediately fell in love with her. But what could a poor soldier do when it came to the daughter of the king? Well, finally, one day, he managed to meet her, and he told her that he could no longer live without her. The princess was so impressed by his strong feelings that she said to the soldier: "If you can wait 100 days and 100 nights under my balcony, then at the end of it, I shall be yours." Damn! The soldier immediately went there and waited one day. And two days. And ten. And then twenty. And every evening, the princess looked out of her window, but he never moved. During rain, during wind, during snow, he was always there. The bird shat on his head, and the bees stung him, but he didn't budge. After ninety nights, he had become all dried up, all white, and the tears streamed from his eyes. He couldn't hold them back. He no longer had the strength to sleep. All that time, the princess watched him. And on the 99th night, the soldier stood up, took his chair, and went away.

Lying in bed with the glass doors open The rain falls fast and the rain falls hard I can hear their tires in puddles Two stories down below Its sometime just after midnight And people are talking in different tongues I can see that hotel sign Where my son thought Spiderman used to live I can hear the train on its tracks Clicking through the station as it rolls past When we didn’t know who was who We gave everyone a secret name The graveyard is up on the hill Resting next to the Admiral’s house The world used to call them the war machine But times have since changed Lost in the streets of a foreign place That felt like home Drifting backward through the thoughts of a foreign place That felt like home Cars drive on the opposite side in this foreign place That felt like home Thanks for the nostalgia from that photograph That felt like home In this neighborhood we called home A fabric of our lives was left behind Turning the corners, we waved and smiled Always knowing that we’d never be them Walking away from my favorite spot The hidden alleyways lead me home Hands in my pockets and ear to the ground This side of the world has a soft soft sound I can hear the train on its tracks Clicking through the station as it rolls past When we didn’t know who was who We gave everyone a secret name The graveyard is up on the hill Resting next to the Admiral’s house The world used to call them the war machine But times have since changed Lost in the streets of a foreign place That felt like home Drifting backward through the thoughts of a foreign place That felt like home Cars drive on the opposite side in this foreign place That felt like home Thanks for the nostalgia from that photograph That felt like home Brought something back from the highest peak A memento that can never be lost Different people, different clothes Different languages, different schools Different cultures, different foods The lessons we learned were gold When it was time to say goodbye We realized then that it was never ours I can hear the train on its tracks Clicking through the station as it rolls past When we didn’t know who was who We gave everyone a secret name The graveyard is up on the hill Resting next to the Admiral’s house The world used to call them the war machine But times have since changed

Vacant Skies 05:32
He said, he had to go now But he wouldn’t listen to what they said She cried, he had to stop now But he didn’t understand what she meant They laughed, he’s all done now But he couldn’t care less what they thought I yelled, just let him go now But it shouldn’t matter what I said He said he’d want to go And I know he’d want to go And she hoped he wouldn’t go He’s busy talking on the phone He said he’d want to go And I know he’d want to go And she hoped he wouldn’t go He’s busy talking on the phone So he pushed her to the side, knocking over the empty wine bottle, picked up the gun, put it to his head, and there was a scream from the other side of the room as he pulled the trigger and joined the rest of the lost souls swimming around in the vacant skies For the days when your skin feels inadequate And you want to escape from it When you've scrutinized every fiber of your being and want to trade in your reflection Eyes are red like stop signs But can't slow down tears as they speed down your cheeks For the lonely times When you can't find friends In the classroom, hall, or your home The times when you don't fit in, and they tell you to cut yourself down to be like everyone else Society calling you caterpillar because you have yet to metamorphous into these half-clones And for the times when you feel like an outcast When you find disgrace looking in the mirror And feel you deserve what they give you for simply being Remember to be a lion Let them know that you can stand alone because you have no fear Make everything in the room quake and wonder at how you could be yourself so boldly And have no shame Stalk the earth like you are entitled to it and refuse to hide Hug yourself late at night when you have to Fight when you need to Let nobody drag you through the mud Command respect And love yourself enough not to accept anything less than what you really deserve Because you deserve so much better He said, it’s all over now But she didn’t believe he meant it She screamed, she’d take it back now But he didn’t believe she meant it He said, it’s all over now But she didn’t believe he meant it She screamed, she’d take it back now But he didn’t believe she meant it

ONE lie to tell yourself makes TWO ways you want to prove that THREE times you fell so short with FOUR chances you had to fix your FIVE lies that cursed all those SIX angels now left to die with SEVEN tears raining down on EIGHT houses where children sleep What you are and what you keep Are tattered and torn souvenirs Where you hide and where you sleep Are crumpled and stained memories What you are and what you keep Are tattered and torn souvenirs Where you hide and where you sleep Are crumpled and stained memories Photographs, and sentiments A song about me, but it sounds like you ONE lie to tell yourself makes TWO ways you want to prove that THREE times you fell so short with FOUR chances you had to fix your FIVE lies that cursed all those SIX angels now left to die with SEVEN tears raining down on EIGHT houses where children sleep What you are and what you keep Are tattered and torn souvenirs Where you hide and where you sleep Are crumpled and stained memories

I believed in you And everything you said And everything you felt My everything was you I believed in you And everything you said And everything you felt My everything was you I believed in you And everything you said I remember what was mine What was mine is gone I remember how it tastes And how it tastes is gone

about

Yellow #1 Lynn, Massachusetts

Yellow #1 was Brian Paone’s first band. The music of Yellow #1 was intended to have the whimsical flavor of synth-pop bands, with the lyrical integrity and vocal intensity of metal bands. Combining the two polar opposites into one sound, made for a very debatably interesting album. Their debut album, "Bottle Of Rain," was recorded and released in 1996. ... more
