Favorite Things by Ezra / Thomas

Well is there nothing i could trade you for a smile
well can we turn the awful silence down awhile
and talk about the shadows lingering in broken dreams
woven in the seems of our life
I know the years have dropped the curtain on the perfect scene
and it’s hard to see the stage without the light
But i see all of my favorite jewels of pain
but all of our glories hard fought for
as unto gold refined by flame
it’s my favorite things
it’s my favorite things

Time is just a fire we burn inside
bringing out the things we wished could be denied
I know there's blame enough for both of us to walk away
find another day to take a fall
I know the colors all are faded and we both have changed
in the picture frame hanging on the wall
But i see all of my favorite jewels of pain
but all of our stories hard fought for
as unto gold refined by flame
it’s my favorite things
it’s my favorite things

If it were up to me I’d take you somewhere far away
higher than the rain that never dried
then we’d finally see the season of forgotten days
and the cloudy haze would fall before our eyes

then we’ll see all of our favorite jewels of pain
all of our glories hard fought for
as unto gold refined by flame
it’s my favorite things

Easy On My Mind
by Kelley McRae

It's a great Americana mood album. I played a show and camped with this duo at Kerrville Folk Festival and they are also great people with a powerful live presence. ezra vancil

'Be It'
by Jesse Witney

Ran into this on the ISC awards.. great feeling to the sonics of this recording. The sonics of it are what I come back to listen to.. it doesn't hurt that the songs are also fantastic trips. ezra vancil
