Would you please welcome to the stage Owen Salerno.

This song is called Black Book.

I don't think I've ever played it live.

All right.

Awesome.

All right.

Oh, Sunday Little black book Where you hide it And the agony Inside it Heart is howling My windpipe Shallow growling But don't let it Make you feel Hold me bleeding And the hopefulness receding With your mother disappointed on the sofa Half asleep Silent angel There is weeping In the ocean They are sleeping loving will not hurt me anymore.

I think from a listener perspective, that was my big wish, was where are we going? What's the through line?

After the Carnival

Funeral home Passed on the access road They won't grow old Not since they lived in the cold And every night Fading from blue It's the hardest thing Just give me a reason to stay The lines you drew On every frame, beauty and love are the same And in your face, I will not let them erase The kiss of time Cheeks flush with buttered like wine And I'll admit I wouldn't change you a bit Just give it time.

I know we'll be fine.

We'll be fine.

dress me up parade me around take me to the water And I know it's true After the carnival is through It's you I want It's you I want It's you It's you It's you

okay there you go and then i also had

there's a scene in a movie called big fish uh where it's about this son and his father and his father tells all these big stories but near the end he's dying and it's this like sort of dream sequence where they bring him down to the river and uh It's every character from his tales are all around him.

I guess I was thinking that was certainly in mind.

Owen Salerno, uh, what's the song you're gonna play for us?

Uh, this song is new.

I haven't named it yet.

[piano music]

I cannot be destroyed, fall asleep and- I will live here in the back of your head unheard, soft like sand.

And turn your back on anyone who tries to understand what it is you are.

Call it laziness, call it illness, this desire to die.

And prayer-like in your stillness, staring eye to bloodshot eye.

Let's do it.

Seven days and seven nights, I lived my life Inside you Seven days and seven nights I tried my best to hide you Seven days and every night I turned the knife against you Though I know you love me too Though I know you love me too Seven days out in the wind, time spent sleeping echoes.

Seven days sick like a dog, head out the car window.

Seven days and every night I cried, I could not change you.

Seven days inside these walls The mirror's too small to show it Seven days without your food You starve because he knows it Seven days the well stood still I dream my dreams around you Though I know

Yeah.

But I guess it's about your relationship with your own body, kind of coming to terms with being within it, not necessarily being able to change it.

All right, what's the song you're going to play for us?

I wanted to play something real different than what I did last week.

So this is another older one.

It's called Indigo.

All right.

Indigo, can you hear me screaming? Did it make you cry when my loving ceased? Indigo, all my thoughts are settled.

to believe you I want to believe but indigo can't you see I'm sleeping out of breath indigo did you ever need me When you said that she loved it When you led to its death Would you get a sense When you'd hold my hand And go What is it you're seeking? I will try my best To understand To shape it and make something from nothing But it returns to the sand Indigo Will you ever leave me? If you ever loved me Thank you.

Oh man.

Thanks.

in my shoes And in the morning was a changed man And when its light shone on his marble skin, it was enough to tan in a moment what was so long past.

Adam couldn't seek to see the world like you and me do.

So he dressed up like the angels and he danced among them.

Poor Adam, he was born again anew.

Something stupid, something useless, all untrue.

Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da.

Yeah, tell us a little bit about yourself.
