1.	Loving You 03:48	lyrics	buy track
I was so busy loving you I didn’t notice you changed I fell in with the fans, in with the limestone that covered the corner street bar, You left me in And I faded, faded, faded, faded, Like a photograph or your smile Like my words I was so busy drinking I didn’t notice you changed I cried like a foghorn, blurred with the chalk lines in the corner street bar you left me in And I faded, faded, faded, faded, Like a photograph or your smile Like your laugh I live between victim and blame I live between victim and blame Between the tracks and the train Between the start and the end I miss you, my lonely friend I am a letter tucked in a screen door A shot of whiskey kicked to the floor I want you to unbreak what you broke I want you to unbreak what you broke What you broke I was so busy loving you I didn’t notice I changed I want to be the person I was before I forgot to love me too
2.	Dancing on The Water 04:15	lyrics	buy track
She drank too much threw her car keys off a cliff and the moon looked so pretty Dancing on the water Not giving a shit Said “it's no good, it’s falling apart, If I can’t trust you I can't trust myself And sure can't trust my heart” But the moon don’t care Bout an old moon Silhouettes on the walls Singing out of tune There's a house by the river Down a gravel road And every sunday I sit where the sun hits the window And there's a mirror of my mothers Covered by a drape But I never peer in it cause I know I’ll see her face She followed the signs Up the coast She murmured her regrets She mourned her woes Said “it's no good, it can't be true, If I can't trust my heart I can't trust myself And sure as hell can't trust you” She woke up alone To a full moon Silhouettes on the walls Dancing round the room There's a house by the river Down a gravel road And every sunday I sit where the sun hits the window And there's a mirror of my mothers Covered by a drape But I never peer in it cause I know I’ll see her face (x2) She drank too much threw her car keys off a cliff and she looked so pretty Dancing on the water Dancing on the water Dancing on the water Looking like my mother
3.	Sweet Fool 04:19	lyrics	buy track
Love how you made me a fool Running around looking for you I’m the face of a stranger In arms timid by nature Oh love how I knew Just what to do with you The actress takes the stage Cue the band, enter the page How he notes my every move How I see myself through you Ohh leave it for the mourning Of a passing shooting star Take your coffee in the garden And forget who you are The charm of a wilted rose On the bed stand below the window Just a breeze and a petal falls To its knees and than to a crawl Ohh how sweet the brandy in Indiana, how you wanted more Maybe down in Texas they’ll be serving what you’re looking for Ohhh how sweet the fool love has made of me and you Ohhh how sweet the fool love has made of me and you Me and you
4.	Shopping Cart 03:03	lyrics	buy track
I cried on Halloween The mushrooms were hitting me It’s a full moon but I can’t see Drive through Hubbard park Push me home in a shopping cart Let’s check out that free RV I got nervous watching you make dinner What if I staid through the winter Would you stay with me? Who’s gonna be the next president? You stole that wine with such confidence The end of the world a non-event after all Drove me to emergency care, Smoked a pack of cigarettes just waiting there Saw your face in the rearview mirror Couldn’t look you in the eyes I could only cry Got a ticket driving home going 97 Later that month I wrote you a letter Didn’t think you’d write me back but I wanted to explain myself See I’m always sad I was born like that And I grew attached to you
5.	Mainline Maine Man 03:31	lyrics	buy track
The fire spits and drips The waxy woven souls find comfort In the grave they slip As they adjust their pillows, slumber Meets them like a friend Like a kiss that they remember Sitting on a bench It’s 1920, mid-november Oh the world is ending again Oh how do we The water holds you bound To the secrets you live under A tourniquet rewound A mainline, Maine man, lobster hunter How to stay profound? Asks one lonely drunk to another Their shutting down this town Oh the politics, lets run those numbers Oh the world is ending again Oh how do we pretend? But the water was a friend It got you here though it pulled you under And the fire burned you dead But not without a prayer from your father Would you do it again? Could you stand the thirst, the hunger? Would you hold my hand? It’s 2020 and you’re my lover Oh the world is ending again Oh how do we pretend?
6.	Highway 03:45	lyrics	buy track
The morning light Finds me how it finds us all Whispering to the aches and pains Buried in the walls, Of my bedroom Something I can dream An address and an age I know I have seen There’s a hallway And there is a man Listen to the cello play Listen to the cello play Where should we go? Is there somewhere we can stay? A place where I can dream of water, Noticing the day Pass us by, high and on the streets We were kids, with nothing left to eat There’s a highway and there is a man Listen to the cello play Listen to the cello play Nothings gonna make him go away So listen to the fucking the cello play I forgive myself I forgive myself I forgive myself I forgive myself
7.	Time I Borrowed 03:45	lyrics	buy track
Look for me in the sky when I’m gone Find me in a candle lit at sunset Taste me in a pour of Irish Whiskey Breath me in at dawn with your cigarette Hear my voice sooth you and your sorrows And forgive me for the time I borrowed I was just a kid, I hadn’t died yet Thought I could outlive the ride I bet on But I hated leaving you I hated leaving you, I hated how it all happened Love me longer than my life lasts Be sure not to cry more than I made you laugh Think of all the times I talked you off the edge When it feels too much, when you hate me for being dead I was just a kid, I hadn’t died yet Thought I could outlive the ride I bet on But I hated leaving you I hated leaving you, I hated how it all happened Hear my voice sooth you and your sorrows And forgive me for the time I borrowed But I hated leaving you I hated leaving you, But I hated leaving you I hated leaving you, I hated how it all happened Look for me in the sky when I’m gone
8.	Vincent 05:30	lyrics	buy track
Vincent You were born the day that I died Fuck me blue, the color of my eyes I cried for help, you never came I shouted out, I gave it a name Thedore, Theodore, Theodored you so much Thedore, Theodore, Theodored you so much Thedore, Theodore, Theodored you so much Thedore, Theodore, Theodored you so much I built us a house you’ll never sleep in A place to be safe, a face to believe in You were born the day that I died And I was born and I fucking tried Vincent Van Gogh, Vincent Van Gogh, Vincent Van Gogh on your way Vincent Van Gogh, Vincent Van Gogh, Vincent Van Gogh on your way Vincent Van Gogh, Vincent Van Gogh, Vincent Van Gogh on your way Vincent Van Gogh, Vincent Van Gogh, Vincent Van Gogh on your way On your way, On your way, On Your way I was born the day that we died Climber of trees, watcher of skies Holder of truth, closer to heart Fucker upper, pieces of part Pieces of part, pieces of part, pieces of part Pieces of part, pieces of part, pieces of part Pieces of part, pieces of part, pieces of part Pieces of part, pieces of part, pieces of part Part of me, Part of me, part of me Part of me, Part of me, part of me Part of me, Part of me, part of me Part of me, Part of me, part of me

about

Lunar Eclipse will be released on Wednesday, May 26th 2021 (during the literal lunar eclipse and full moon called the super flower blood moon)

Who in this past year did not face the reckoning of no escape, and the gentle fears of surrender? Who did not look themselves in the mirror and find new selves, some of them uglier than they knew, and some surprisingly delicate in their strength? Who in this past year did not completely, certainly, change?

Johanna’s album Lunar Eclipse speaks to their decay and return, and so composes, in 8 tracks, in the vibrations of the harmonium and the accordion, and the blooming guitar, what we have collectively experienced, together, alone.

Johanna wrote most of the songs while living in a treehouse they built last summer. They spent the winter in their bedroom, recording and mixing the album. While most of the music they previously released was written on piano, this album was written on acoustic guitar, an instrument they picked up during quarantine. It is also their debut on electric guitar.

Johanna plays nearly all the instruments on the 8 track album, including harmonium and accordion, and is joined by long time friends and musical collaborators, Ernest Brusubardis IV on violin for Dancing for The Water, Josh Evert on drums for Sweet Fool, Jason Jack on nylon string guitar for Loving You, Steph Lippert on piano and backup vocals on Time I Borrowed, and Katie Lyne vocal harmonies on Dancing on The Water, Sweet Fool, Time I Borrowed and Vincent.

Note:

This is my cosmic emotional release, my evolution, a peace offering to my inner demons, a love letter to my soul, an acknowledgment of my heart, an end to before, and a beginning for now. <3 thank you for taking the time to listen to it! - Johanna
