When the smoke clears... Will you be there without fear? I stumble more than anything I stumble on the words and let life sing When the day breaks... Will you outline my mistakes? I stumble more than anything I stumble on the words and let life sing

Hello, we meet again On a vapor trail Ride it out until the end Still here My hands on the wheel Test to see what's real Hello, we meet again On a vapor trail Hello, Is this the end? Ride it out again Ride it out with me my friend Way high My lungs are'nt mine Not this time Wings wide Blur beside you

Nothing feels real right now Nothing Feels real right now Traveling with my head down Nothing feels real right now Move along Another note, another song It's all I can do Pushing through Reach to touch and hold onto It's all I can do Nothing feels real right now Nothing Feels real right now Traveling with my head down Nothing feels real right now Here today Burst of color on top of the gray The image speaks when the words won't say Nothing feels real right now Nothing Feels real right now Traveling with my head down Nothing feels real right now

Spinning everything Into a blur Forgiving everything So we can return Forget what we've learned I don't wanna go I don't even know

slip through another mirror living low flowing slow follow here slip through another mirror
6.
I'm alive At least I think so At least I think so When you arrive You'll find me below Find me below Fall and break everything that holds me when the weight is too much Fall and take everything down to the ocean floor Here inside All the stars collide All the stars collide Pluck one out of the sky ...and replace your eye Fall and break everything that holds me when the weight is too much Fall and take everything down to the ocean floor Fall and take everything that holds me when the weight is too much Fall and take everything down to the ocean floor Fall Fall and take everything Fall and break everything
7.
See me through frosted windows Slower now Push the blur out Now
8.
In this disintegrating edge One side fading One foot off the ledge I found this particle of you Stepping off to see this through Down in the blur with my bare hands Feeling deep to understand Everything has led me to here Off again to chase a tear Hold my heart Hold my hand Try to feel To Understand In this disintegrating edge

about

The Blur Beside You project and self titled album began in the home studios of Jim Wells, Joseph Beaty & Joseph Butera III. The vibe on this record was heavily inspired by indie shoegaze greats: My Bloody Valentine, Hum, Swervedriver and The Cure to name a few. While these influences can be heard in the sonic textures of the album, the minimalist lyric content explores the literal haze and blur of present times.

When we finished mixing, it became apparent that we needed to explore the analog realm to bring that warm otherworld feel to the listening experience. Joseph Butera III visited Powerstation Studios in Pompano Beach, Florida to utilize the legendary Studer A80 tape machine alongside Rupert Neve's legendary Masterpiece. The difference was astounding and we hope you will feel it in your bones like we do. Note: The digital download is available at true high resolution 96k 24bit for accurate representation of the analog sound.

We invite you to sit near actual speakers or grab a pair of headphones and step inside a captured moment with us. Make it your own.

Thank you for listening
