The Paper Orchestra - Singing Over A Sunset Pt. 1 02:27
lyrics
buy track
Baby you'll find me on the mountaintops, Out with the daisies and the long walks. Watching the sunset over suburbia in the west, There with my baby, yeah you know, she's the best. Baby you'll find me in the foothills, Out on the ranch with all the daffodils. Holding my lover so close to my chest, Watching the sun as it rolls on west. And then on day we'll sing so loudly, Everyone will hear us in the valley. Everyone will hear us in the valley. Everyone will hear us in the valley. Yeah, everyone will hear us in the valley. Everyone will hear us in the valley. Singing over a sunset to the valley.

And then one day we'll float above the clouds, and I never, no I never, I wanna come down. And then one day we'll sing above the clouds, and everyone will hear us down on earth. The flower's will grow, the trees will unfold. And we'll keep secrets untold. No one will ever know what we did up here, and all of our barriers will disappear. The flower's will grow, the trees will unfold. And we'll keep secrets untold. Between me and yer skin, and our bones.

Summer Love (Live in SD) 04:20

I don't know what I'm going to do... I'm so stuck on you. But summer won't make me blue, cause I'm gonna get you, oh I'm gonna get you, and the sun and the moon. Summer love, makes you so brand new! Summer love, it's gonna get you! Oh I'm gonna get you, I'm gonna get you, and the sun and the moon. Chocolate chew, red balloons. Gifts we share, and a happy tune. Come on, sing along with me- We can't lose! Summer love, makes you so brand new! Summer love, it's gonna get you! Oh I'm gonna get you, I'm gonna get you, and the sun and the moon. Trees, carkeys, buzzing bumblebees. Can never never match how happy you make me. Happy, you make me so happy, like you couldn't believe. Summer love, makes you so brand new! Summer love, it's gonna get you! Oh I'm gonna get you, I'm gonna get you, and the sun and the moon.

The Paper Orchestra - The Communist Daughter (NMH Cover) 02:40
lyrics
buy track
Communist, the communist daughter, standing in the seaweed water. Semen stains the mountaintops, semen stains the mountaintops. With cocoa leaves around the border, sweetness sings from every corner. Cars careening from the clouds, the bridges burst and twist around. And wanting something warm and moving, bends toward herself the soothing, proves that she must still exist, she moves herself about her fist. The Communist, the Communist Daughter, standing on the seaweed water. Semen stains the mountain tops, semen stains the mountain tops.

about

The Paper Orchestra’s first EP was technically PNR-001, the first release! The first pressing was number through 20 but we made 25 copies so all the band could have one! We were so proud of making every single copy by hand and then finally selling out, prompting a second pressing of 50 that we’re sometimes sold in conjunction with The Paper Orchestra’s compilation Up To Date.

Walk On By/Singing Over a Sunset EP was comprised of 5 songs, one of which was a cover. The cellist/glockenspiel/melodica player Josh and I (Alex) first recorded the Neutral Milk Hotel cover over the summer for a compilation on the E6 Townhall. Using a mixer to mixdown 3 microphones onto my mom’s computer, we recorded 3 more songs over the summer. Walk On By was an original by Stephen Rich, with a trumpet solo by Ryan. Singing Over a Sunset was a two part song written by me and primitively recorded. These two tracks were later re-recorded for the first Your Yellow Dress album. The remaining song is a live recording of the first great pop song I wrote, Summer Love, at the home of the legendary David Barclay of The Diskettes and The Endless Bummer fame.

We were young, idealistic and excited. This was the pre-recession days and the Bush hatred was finally wearing thin on everyone. No one had an inkling we’d be in the tank but have an African American President within 2 short years. Homespun pop songs captured in beautifully inadequate ways, is the best description I could give you for my first high school band’s, first release in August 2007.
