Happyness 03:24
Happyness makes you cry In ways I can’t describe I’m miles away from all the weight Of heavy days and I’m on my way I’m running around in my home town Summer’s out and I won’t back down Happyness All I need’s a way to get around Happyness All my dreams up in some cloud Sweet light Feels alive It’s a milder high Reading my signs My head in the clouds Oh my god Feel the ground Fall back down Happyness All I need’s a way to get around Happyness All my dreams up in sun clouds Happyness Makes you cry In ways I can’t describe

Funny Bones 04:22
I’d seen it all I’d seen it all Before you walked into my life I see you stand underneath the light And know the smile behind your eyes And your funny bones I watched you tell Everyone your stories And silently put you in my life You fill my beating heart You fill my beating heart Leave it all, far behind We can lead, wild lives Don’t need to feel, so alone, We can feel it in our funny bones I said “let’s fall in love and move away” And he said “why leave this place when we can stay forever?” You fill my beating heart
3.
If my cold heart breaks, on Christmas day, say I was doing alright Turned those woods to lawn and painted every wall Seemed like we’re doing alright But I’ve got nothing left in my skin All I’m feeling are funny bones Trace my fingers all over those fingers of a road so they’re no longer hidden and closed And by wind and chance I’ll go outside and dance Find a man tonight Leaves off the tree All dead to me Don’t try to be Something to me I’ve got nothing left in my skin All I’m feeling are funny bones

Night Air Get some night air Into your mind Shake your hair Out of your eyes Oh go outside in warm summer nights Get that night air, into your mind And we’re going out of our minds together And we’re going out of our minds together Its not yours to lose. You got your way. Yeah it’ll be better this way And we’re going out of our minds together Yeah we’re going out of our minds together Time to Move On It's time to move on You without me me without you It’s time we set out You without me, without you and find, by ourselves, What the world is Beyond all this It's time to move on Or we’ll be waiting for the same thing It's time We set out On our own You without me Me without you
5.
I’m not so worried about it all Feels like we’re getting by Got most of what we worked for. Why am I so tired? Don’t feel the change in the years Somehow feel left behind Holding myself outside Waiting to come alive I’m not so worried about it all Bullet to chest is how we fall We are our best When we’re alone Don’t know what I’m waiting for Something to come by I’ve got the heart to beat it out Beat till I’m running wild I’m not so worried about it all Bullet to chest is how we fall We are our best When we’re alone I am so lost with you here Bullet to chest, is how we feel We are our best When we’re alone
6.
There must be another time after time has gone I see another life After love moves on I’d say “I will never change” and you’d say “Never too late” But I call to you anyway Just to see If you’ll stay It must be love it must be love it’s the only thing That still hurts Was all the love I gave you not enough? It was all I thought I had (It was you thought you had)

Wild Heart 07:20
OoooohStop. We had it all wrong Ooooooh we are not We are not yet done We can runWe can run We can run Ooooooh love is strange Love is strange enough Ooooooh you’re not Losing me but finding us Finding us Finding us Finding us With hands in our laps trouble in our minds Leave it all behind I was yours and you were mine But this was only one of a thousand lives Love of peace and peace of mind Happiness makes you cry With hands in our laps and trouble in our minds This was only one of a thousand lives I am yours and you are mine And we can have it all in another life This is not the end but the start of our own wild heart Because I’m strong enough To stay wild heart I’m gone and you’re not We can be all we want You say I’m yours and you’re mine We can lead wild lives It’s not the end But the start Of our own Wild heart Because I’m strong enough to stay wild heart I’m gone and you’re not and we can be all we want You say I’m yours and your mine But we can lead wild lives Because we’re strong enough to stay wild heart

about

Night Air is a concept album based on Richard Yates’ 1960's novel Revolutionary Road: The seven tracks build a story of the joy and heartbreak of a great love, all set against the backdrop of a changing world. It’s about that push and pull between suburban comfort, the idyllic and quiet life, and the desire for more, for wilder dreaming, on the road, out in the world, away from all you know.

Each song is a new chapter in this fictional world, taking its listener from nights out (“Happyness”) and promises of first love (“Funny Bones”) to suburban discontent (“Funny Bones - Part II”) and moonlit escape (“Night Air/Time To Move On”). Yet, after all the heartache and self-destruction, the album closes with an acknowledgement of the need for pain (“It Must Be Love”) and the chance of starting again (“Wild Heart”). An album that demands listening in full, and on repeat, to hear a story of a life, lived at its most heartbreaking and uplifting.
