Revolva (free) 04:08
Something is blowing in the wind Foreshadowing a truth that might have been expected The smell of pollen particles The breath of dusty workers baking outside in the southern sun The back of your head kisses the revolver The hesitation was a fleeting sadness Don't be surprised when I tell you What I've been meaning to do The words of his mind never got past any milestones But does the thrill of killing mice linger on? The back of your head kisses the revolver And the sound rings on Tell me where does one draw a line? Are there parameters that we should be upholding? The dust will always linger on The wind will toss its story across the ancient rusted railroad tracks

So Smooth (free) 03:50
She keeps her heart up on a shelf She wants to be all by herself I could just watch her or just leave She's got a face that's oh so hard to read I keep my feelings in a jar You can't wait until tomorrow it seems so far You're my religion my religion I'm your Jesus freak And you're oh so smooth so smooth for me Can you tell me what to be my dear? Don't you see we've got emotion? I won't tell you what to do now Can't you see we've got devotion? Oh I try so hard to read the signs you make Look to the left and to the right I make a double take One two three, I'm on a winning streak And I've got a little smile that's looking fine on me Sweet sleep could be my cover up When I'm looking down 'cause I'm out of luck Did I give too much? Or not enough? Oh don't make a sound If you haven't heard the story well I'll tell you baby here's the end Too many losers whose ambitions only end up dead You're my religion my religion I'm your Jesus freak And you're oh so smooth so smooth for me

Canadian Disco (free) 03:44
I'm staring I'm staring Into the wake of another ferry home Your eyes have had me in nails Your heart is never on sale Who lives for the waking? The smell of burnt coffee beans? Truly the love you withhold is the pain that you carry on Carry on Pull me away from the edge I get vertigo Dancing fools at a Canadian disco My heart was so electric Those marvelous names don't let themselves go Some dogs are in heat now They lay baking under a sun Cute girls that sit in your seat Collapse your legs and your feet The doctrine of your neighbours suggests an inevitable win Truly the love you withhold is the pain that you carry on Carry on YOUR EYES! (Are fatal...) ALRIGHT! (I can't pay for...) TURBINES! These must be the wrong shoes.

about

You know, technically this isn't really a proper EP. It's really more of a demo.

But I couldn't just name the damned thing "The Motionless Heron Demo", because that sounds absolutely terrible.

Anyway, this is The Motionless Heron EP, named after a phrase I had read in the book "Of Mice And Men" by John Steinbeck.

3 songs -- 3 different time periods -- lots of contrast.
