about

This song was intended to be a letter to a young girl named Dorine whom I had never met and turned out to be written to a younger version of myself. It is the first single off Distant Dissonance, which is a collection of live takes of original songs, each recorded in a different historic space. I layer vocals live in performances, and decided this would be the best way to make an authentic sounding record. The music video was shot in and around the space where the song was recorded, at the ‘allegedly haunted’ Historic Strauss Mansion Museum in Atlantic Highlands, and the song itself was recorded on the first landing of the stairwell, which is visible in some of the scenes.

lyrics

dear dorine,

the world is at war
do you recall where you were when it wasn't?
dear dorine, melancholy child
they’ll remind you
of silver linings and always smiling
though it all does seem to go wrong

dear dorine,

it doesn’t seem fair
but you’ll reflect on it all as much smaller
find your resolve, ink it over and swear
to remember always, always remember
you’ll be okay if you learn to paddle your own canoe
dear dorine,
i’m yours ’til you tear it out
i’m yours ’til you tear it out

dear dorine,
you should remember always, always remember
you’ll be okay if you learn to paddle your own canoe
dear dorine,
i’m yours ’til you tear it out

dear dorine,
you’re askin’ for it
when you kiss a boy under his nose
things turn upside down
dear dorine,
though you were beguiled
right there beneath the garden gate
love is blind but the neighbors ain't
love is blind but the neighbors ain't
love is blind but the neighbors ain't
love is blind but the neighbors ain't

you should remember always, always remember
you’ll be okay if you learn to paddle your own canoe
dear dorine,
I’m yours ’til you tear it out
I’m yours ’til you tear it out
