Diamonds 03:40
I’m a dog, I’m a dog. black and white and bones, I wait, inside our home. I’m in love, I’m in love with a statue down in Rome, and my kaleidoscope. I bleed apart. Torment in the colorful rain. Diamonds, oh diamonds, I don’t mind getting old for you, babe. Ring the bell, who can tell? The pigeons on the church, they know how much it hurts to see Madonna walk away, silk dress to the wind, sail off to Bethlehem. She had a certain way, smoking on her pipe, shooting arrows through the gamblers at play. She bought me out, She won the game, Old dog swimming in champagne. Take me out after dark, so the strays out on the street can watch the princess eat. And when she’s satisfied I know My fur is gold, And I’m ascending heaven.

Old and weightless is what you called me for my drifting mind. Halfway to the moon, and I turned back because the sun was in my eyes. If we could talk, then maybe I'd tell you how I really feel this time. Old and weightless is what I'm trying to kill since you've been gone. I cast spells and talk to ghosts, sit around and sing them all our songs. If I could see you maybe you could show me how it all went wrong. I was never much for thinking I could never get it done I don't know how I am feeling, heavy and young. Old and weightless is all i ever want to be for myself. From now on I'm sunny as hell forgetting about the fools who can't tell. Have a heart, then maybe I would be an easier sell. I was never much for thinking I could never get it done. I don't know how I am feeling heavy and young. I was never much for changing but the world has made me dumb. I was never much for thinking heavy and young. Heavy-weightless, old and young, I don't care what I become. Written by: Aaron Flanders, Kristoffer Benton Skovmand, Miguel Pereira de Sá Pessoa Adraela Music, BMI © ℗ 2021 Adraela Records

You’re so fresh I don’t believe everything in my soul But I know if it ever is time to go I will do it with a gleam in my eye. I confess I haven’t always been good to our love I get crazy when I drink too much alcohol I got dark thoughts down in my mind. But I wrote you a song Not for anyone else ‘cause you’re my rose. It’s alright There’s no warning for a young boy in love You got pregnant early in the morning In the bed we were talking about God. Only one life And all the time that I give you is gold When the baby forgets how we really were We’ll whisper about it when the baby is old. But I wrote you a song Not for anyone else ‘cause you’re my rose. Written by: Aaron Flanders, Kristoffer Benton Skovmand, Miguel Pereira de Sá Pessoa Adraela Music, BMI © ℗ 2021 Adraela Records

Hey, let us stand face-to-face. I couldn’t hold what I hate. Bouncing over the memories, but I don’t ever want to forget. Read into the moment. Oh my days, oh my broken love, I don’t want to say goodbye. But there’s nothing I haven’t tried, but death. I don’t know exactly how I feel, but I can’t chase you through this. Tell me of a future I can love, or let’s fall apart on the burning bridge. I need to talk while we can. I have become the invisible man. I wish I was a stranger, so we could start all over again. Read into the moment. Oh my days, oh my burning love, I don’t want to say goodbye. But there’s nothing I haven’t tried, but death. I don’t know exactly how I feel, but I can’t chase you through this. Tell me of a future I can love, or let’s fall apart on the burning bridge. I’ve woken in the night, I don’t want to be so lost. You used to be my light, But now it’s at what cost?

I’m following you Down a forest path Raven on my back I’m talking blue Let the wild beasts whisper. North Western skies Speak easy, I’m right here with you By your side Drop your feathers and your dreams into great wide space.   Let’s dance on the electric lake.   What spirit are you? What’s the shape you take? Can you give me a clue? I’m hollering wolf When the moon is full. Our second sight Comes from burning the candles at both ends It makes a beautiful light And real magic might kill you in the great wide space. Only in the soul you see.

Let the cars run wild on the roads under neon lights. I stand on the side Mother on the mountain. When they shout and fight I would rather write Only for her eyes Mother on the mountain I am, I am nothing but my name Let the ballroom world around me rise and fall I am I have always been the same Through tidal waves of tears And 3 billion years of love. Don’t break me for sour bread Don’t work me until I’m dead Just bury me instead With the mother on the mountain. She’s got a burning smile I would gladly die, For a kiss goodbye Mother on the mountain.

Oh Me, Oh My 03:42
My dreams are full of thoughts like pearls round the beautiful neck of a darling. I built these wings and flew the world right into this champagne glass of mine. And in this blitz I felt alive my sword cut deep in the devil but when I open up my eyes I am a servant wide awake. Oh me, oh my well I find myself drowning, in dreams of paradise again I am a master of illusion. I ate my plate of hard advice, I have fought so long with no hope. Maybe years will be my prize lost forever to my soul. Perhaps one day I will rise to meet my glorious fate, but when I open up my eyes I'm but a slave to this place. Oh me, oh my well I find myself drowning, in dreams of paradise again I am a master of illusion. Dead dreamer I live long winters in my dreams while the snow outside keeps me locked in. Safe and warm, so it seems my heart is cold and frozen. I'll call for action, call for change I'll call for bravery in disguise but when I'm woken there's no change and no more magic in my mind. Oh me, oh my well I find myself drowning, in dreams of paradise again I am a master of illusion.

Nobody wants to let you drown But I told you, Alabama, I can’t swim You climbed up into those hills Following him. In the cold North Carolina Left your summers in the pickup Left your springtime up in Canada Left your Autumn saying good luck. You were married in a church under a waterfall And I wonder, can you see in the Hollywood mist? A million eyes were watching from the farms in Arkansas To the suicide on the Golden Gate Bridge. And your rings were made of China And your vows were bound in lambskin And your dress draped over Sodom And Gomorrah made of porcelain. From Seville to Manhattan The good news comes running with the birds As I set sail upon this great, wide ocean I’m haunted by notorious words. Is my vengeance real in Gotham? Why’s the moonlight made of stone? Will the years all be forgotten? Is it too late to go home? Follow me home. With two eyes like searchlights Follow me home. And your rings were made of China And your vows were bound in lambskin And your dress draped over Sodom And Gomorrah made of porcelain. Is my vengeance real in Gotham? Why’s the moonlight made of stone? Will the years all be forgotten? Is it too late to go home?

You flew in like Notre Dame Changed into an honest name I walked right in to your storm They built a church for you They built a mall Ten thousand love-struck in a wall. But I got my head I got my hand I got my heart on you I got my heart on you. This is one time Where I am finally sure I’m not riding on the world no more This is one time Where the master’s on the floor And I’m not riding on the world no more It’s outside of us. She is all your greatest hits Trying to fight is meaningless She’s every atom in your form. One day I’ll sing it to Everyone and all A stubborn love refused to fall. One day we’ll sing it to Everyone and all We gave our faith and trust ‘cause it was outside of us. I got my head I got my hand I got my heart on you I got my heart on you. This is one time Where I am finally sure I’m not riding on the world no more. This is one time Where the master’s on the floor And I’m not riding on the world no more. It’s outside of us It’s outside of us It’s outside of us. Written by: Aaron Flanders, Kristoffer Benton Skovmand, Miguel Pereira de Sá Pessoa (Adraela Music, BMI) © ℗ 2021 Adraela Records

The past don't hold no place of refuge. The future's out there on its own. I am soft spoken in the deluge, I voyage into the unknown. Somewhere out there, There's a meaningful mouthful waiting for you. Unemployment holds no options, and business don't have a sense of self. All the rebels have been forgotten. Everyone's worried about themselves. Somewhere out there, there's a meaningful mouthful waiting for you. No glory in pursuing despair, Hell is a place you can find anywhere. If you're starving and empty for something that's true, let the music clear your mind. Waiting for you.

We live in the backwoods chasing pure light. We will never stop from moving. The outside lines have blurred, our minds are up the coast and down in the suburbs. And high is low and magic happens, on an empty street, so silent you can hear you heart beat. I've known you since you made the sign. And I've been watching you, no end to the evil summer, everyone's eyes on the girl outnumbered. Can't stop what you feel inside let sparks fly true. All our secret behaviors, hold on let the time make it alright. I see you, I must do what my heart tells me to. Everyone's got skeletons in our lives. Promise me you won't sleep through the future this time. Don't let your tears be the story you tell. I believe in angels ringing broken bells. I believe that you and I will find ourselves. We will escape when you give me the sign. And I've been watching you, no end to the evil summer, everyone's eyes on the girl outnumbered. Can't stop what you feel inside let sparks fly true. All our secret behaviors, hold on let the time make it alright. I see you, I must do what my heart tells me to.

April Child 03:37
You’re the lucky one We wrote it on your face Tongues got loose when you turned around And we all began using your name. And on the day that you left town They said the street light wasn’t the same It went down. You’re the lucky one even though you’ve changed everyone knows that a single smile is the closest we can get to escape. You’re the April child You’re the sun in our eyes. When the day is done We’ll find another way People will try to say their goodbyes But it’s the darkest way to get through the day. You’re the April child You’re the sun in our eyes. We’ve had bad days Waiting for the rain Mostly it’ll pass us by And leave us just the same again. Like all the blue words Humming in the air Finding that the one we want Is buried in our simple minds. You’re the April child You’re the sun in our eyes. You’re the April child You’re the sun in our eyes. Written by Aaron Flanders, Kristoffer Benton Skovmand, Miguel Pereira de Sá Pessoa (Adraela Music, BMI) © ℗ 2021 Adraela Records

about

Some 3,187 miles apart from each other, the cities of Boston, Massachusetts, and Lisbon, Portugal, both offer their own rich cultural heritage, especially when it comes to music. And at a time when social distancing is the norm, it’s refreshing and encouraging to find such vast transatlantic distance bridged by an exciting new project borne from both cities and nourished by the expansive musical spaces in between. 

The Burnt Pines are a multicultural marvel, chiefly comprised of a trio of talented musicians who first came together at a Lisbon recording studio in the summer of 2018, and in a relatively short period of time rose to the challenge of intercontinental recording, with the dozen tracks on, The Burnt Pines highlighting gorgeously textured melodies and penetratingly beautiful lyrics.

released January 22, 2021
