I was walking in the woods one day 'cause I was lonely and bored and probably lost I tripped and stumbled through the trees Until I found this horse My name is H he did proclaim He had big red eyes and a pretty blue mane he said, "You have found me, traveler! Now I will be your friend!" I jumped and squealed with joy and glee But little did I know where he would take me Woah woah, he took me Woah woah, he took me to the moon I went home and I showed him to all my friends Milly was concerned, but Bec was smitten How often do you meet a magical horse in the woods on a Tuesday? He had hooves that were totally rad And anatomy that was very horselike I offered him massages and assorted candies but then it was time for bed Oh, I can't sleep for these dreams Where would he take me? Woah woah, he took me Woah woah, he took me to the moon The next day we went outside In the calm of the afternoon He asked me where we should go And I said, "To the moon!" He took me by the hand He said, "Your wish is my command!" He threw me on his back and in the blink of an eye We took off and we shot off right into the sky The sky! I didn't mean that literally I was just messing around, it's an expression I use to be silly and cheeky Oh, I can't be in space on a horse I've got work in the morning Past the stratosphere and the mesosphere It's awfully cold up here Woah woah, he took me Woah woah, he took me to the moon And it was kind of cool

Make this flowing water stop Our world is being washed away The reindeer have been hiding for days From all this rain Oh, I'll wait for you to Call me when there's an end to this soon I thought that you opened your mind when I saw the moon Our dilemma is confusing, no? Is this not what we desire? Life-giving rain? Call me when there's an end to this soon I thought that you opened your mind when I saw the moon Someone spoke with the Rainmaker tonight Opened his eyes to this pain And Lizzie looked at me And when she smiled I knew That the moon was out And I'd be sleeping soon Call me now there's an end to this soon I knew that you opened your mind when I saw the moon

Lost in the wilderness of this cold, cold town Driving alone again, this old road's bringing me down I've got this hole in my soul, it's getting so deep Dug down with broken hearts and promises that I couldn't keep Never did I think it would be so simple Never did I think I would find my way Never did I think I would find my honey but I found you here, today Driving down this long, long road Never expected to find my way back home Love, I thought it was only fantasy Sitting here with you right now, I see how real it could be Your eyes shine like a beacon, calling me to your heart I'll always be with you, no one could tear us apart You saved me from falling You saved me from me You're all that I wanted All that I need Never did I think it would be so simple Never did I think I would find my way Never did I think I would find my baby but I found you here, today Driving down this long, long road Never expected to find my way back home

There was a man who Sat in a bedroom With his eyes on a television set All those dominions With their opinions They would meet their maker yet To make a name is crucial to Make the books remember you Get the engines on, and bring that bomb Napalm is the perfect exposure Exposure Explosion They will remember Our splendor And contributions to the greater good We brought the walls down We write the books, now We will make this understood How could you contest me? Do you dare doubt my valor? Did you hear them? Did you see them? Their beliefs are fire, now Napalm is the perfect exposure Exposure Explosion

Ohayou Radio 04:46
Samples used: "You can listen to the radio on it! It picks up radio signals through your headphones!" "I think they tried so hard to... appeal to the people." "Radio button." "Ohayou...!" "Hai!" "Sumimasen." "Ne!" "Ehh??!" "I think you click the stop button."

Fret 04:09
I told my master I've a problem of the mind I'm seeking answers that I know I'll never find He said to me that all my problems are inventions But Benjamin's not envious He said to me that I'm in love with feeling anxious I can dance I can dance I can dance the dance of the dead I can feel it I can feel it I can feel it but it's all in my head My mind is reeling and my body's getting tense I try to tell him that he isn't making sense I try to tell him that in this I'm just a passenger But he insists I'm at the wheel I try to tell him that in this I'm just a passenger I can dance I can dance I can dance the dance of the dead I can feel it I can feel it I can feel it but it's all in my head Can you explain to me how I can love my misery? Why would I put myself through hell willingly? I've only come to you to ease a little tension This ain't some stupid little game Don't talk to me like this disease is just a habit, no Imagine if you felt the same

Intentions 05:22
The wrong footstep becomes a fire Tensions rise for feelings dire I didn't mean to cause you pain Or get in your way I was raised by Foxes and dragons in a cave so far away I forget how to feel Or how to appear Sumimasen Please let it be my head The smallest thing, the slightest turn Towards the person that I burn This hidden flame I kindle thus But my intentions are just Sumimasen Please let it be my head You make no sound You walk away Are you resentful inside? Or am I just terrified? Burn It's all in my head I hope Please let it be my head Sumimasen

about

"The Time I Rode a Horse to the Moon" is a compilation of odds and ends I wrote over the course of the past two years. These songs are quite diverse - they range from techno pop to country to art rock to punk - so I feel weird about referring to this as an "album" in the traditional sense. However, I still feel that these songs are at least on speaking terms with each other.

Most of these songs were experiments of sorts: Reindeer Jam was my attempt to write a rock song with a jazz structure. Way Back Home was a collaboration between me and my Dad. Ohayou Radio was my attempt at a Kraftwerk-style techno song. I felt that my musical style was becoming refined on "Phases" and "Zeugma", so naturally I did my best to obliterate any illusion of consistency my music may have had. My apologies to anyone hoping for more gooey electric piano goodness. I'll get to that on the next album. :)

"This is better than it should be."

"I love it! It's like a sample platter of the awesome music you make!"
-Sarah
