The official song for Bear, Otter, and the Kid

As I teased last week, the local Tucson band Dash Pocket has allowed me to use the WONDERFUL song "Rain" to promote the release of Bear, Otter, and the Kid which will be released on 8/12/11.  This song is fucking gorgeous and seriously captures everything and more that I want people to take away from my debut novel. Click the link to listen to it on Reverbnation at the top of my blog.  I've posted the lyrics at the end of this post.  The player is on top of the screen, it takes a second or two to kick in.  This song and a few others are available for download free of charge.  If you're a Tucson local, Dash Pocket will be performing Saturday 7/23/11 at Nimbus They are also on Facebook to follow.  I hope you all love it as much as I do!

Rain By Dash Pocket

Lyrics:

I woke up late last night

To the sound of falling rain

And as I stumbled for the light

To my lips your name came

For a moment I stood still

And let the raindrops fall

I guess I lost my free will

But was it ever free at all

And now I don’t know why

I always feel this way

Any time it rains

Now the moments roll on by

Like the water down my walls

Their just teardrops from the sky

Blaming gravity for the fall

But with gravity there is no shame

Just the constant pull of the Earth

There is no one there to take the blame

Or left to doubt there self-worth

And now I don’t know why

I always feel this way

Any time it rains

I woke up late last night

To the sound of my own pain

And as I stumbled for the light

To my lips your name came

For a moment I stood still

And let the teardrops fall

I guess I lost my free will

But was it ever free at all

And now I don’t know why

I always feel this way

Any time it rains.
