Winter (Tape Rip) 01:50
lyrics
buy track
Love in the springtime is happy and gay, and I like the coziness of a cold winters day. Holding my baby so close to me, ain't nobody nowhere, as happy as we. Love in the summer can get mighty steamy, and winter is made for lazy kisses and dreaming. Wrapped in a blanket, hot chocolate for two, we don't have a single thing that we gotta do! Just laying around while the world spins 'round us. Autumn arrives, the world changes colors. We don't worry, no cause we got each other. Look outside at the pouring rain, watching it trail down the window pane. Love in the winter can seem cold and gray, but lone by this fire we feel warm and ok. We never worry if we get snowed in, we stay together till spring comes again. I said, "love in the winter is jealous and warm- you know I could stay here all day in yer arms." You know that it's true, I love you.

Your Song (Carrie!) 02:22
lyrics
buy track
When I'm driving home, I'm listening to your song. Gosh I'm so glad I have a tape deck. When I'm on the computer, I listen to our shows. I wish that you would sing louder. Cause I wanna hear you when we practice our songs out in the park, I love it when you sing like a diva. and you have a voice that's like an angels, and sometimes it reminds me of Feist, but I like yours better. I wrote you a song, cause you wrote me one, and it made me cry the night that I listened. It was such a good song it made me wanna stop writing all my crappy little songs. But I know that you like them, so I'll keep on writing them all day long. I'm so glad that you help me, I'm so happy you help me sing my songs Sing: la la la, la la la, la la la This is your song!

about

Before Your Yellow Dress there was The Paper Orchestra, the exuberant young folk pop collective from Mission Viejo. Carrie and I (Alex) formed Your Yellow Dress as an alternative to the songs we had been playing with The Paper Orchestra. We did intimate duets and peppy covers with a nod back to tin pan alley and the pop music of yesteryear. While I had been trying to do music solo as Alexander and the Growing Mind, Carrie’s contribution to live shows and her budding musical talent led us to forming a band in the throes of our high school romance.

There was one live recording of us as A&tGM, which is basically just early YYD (as evidenced by the name confusion at archive.org). That was recorded at my friend Stephen’s birthday show, where he played a show as his side project Humble Hops (which at the time also involved a female partner, but not romantically linked, Jackie. Me and my brother Ryan also played/sang with him). For our 1 year anniversary, Carrie recorded me a song at the end of a mixtape she made on a cassette tape titled “Winter”. The song moved me and it inspired me to write a song for her in return, "Your Song (Carrie!)", but I waited to show it to her.

Near the holidays, it dawned on me that I needed a christmas present for Carrie. I put our songs together and made a some simple cover art out of a picture of us (from the summer of 2007 at one of the many park shows we organized with our friends). This was uploaded to Cllct, which at that time was called the 001 Collective and operated via torrent (which also contained the album artwork).
