Far To Fall 04:54
FAR TO FALL We will be born again With new eyes pointing to the earth Not that far to fall Fall Fall We want this chance again Surround ourselves with those that take our hand Not that hard to call Call Call I wonder where you are when you’re looking at me You’re up in the clouds and I’m caught in a tree I wonder where you are when you’re looking at me I’m up in the clouds and you’re stuck in a tree And I need you and you need me I need you and you need me I need you and you need me With new eyes we can see That it’s not far to fall Fall Fall We will be born again With new eyes pointing to the earth Not that far to fall Fall Fall

Bring Down Waterfall Water in rows form a white wall of a wave we’re bringing down Feeling out the beat we’ll want to take a sweep of it once How can you awake the one that got laid out? bum ba da dum dum How do you unwhirl and welcome to the world? bum ba da dum It’s all a wave All a wave Water is the bait, our tears sophisticate and unwiped I could claw along feeling out the waves I find I don’t want a God who anticipates the way. bum ba da dum dum I don’t need to know where I’m going or why oh, wait this once oh, wait this once our hearts are syncopating with waterfalls   go on believing just as you did before go now Hooked on all the pills they’re giving out To make a common ground and work us out They won’t give us the room to move around and around and around How can you plate a bitter taste like that?    bum ba da dum dum How we gonna prove that we know?     bum ba da dum dum oh, wait this once have you any bliss? our hearts are ringing in tones what God hears, nobody knows (RUN RUN on your way .... run run on the road) YOU IN THE LIGHT YOU IN THE SUN YOU IN THE LIGHT YOU IN LOVE YOU’RE IN THE KNOW AND YOU ALREADY KNOW YOU’RE IN THE KNOW YOU ALREADY KNOW

Blue Bell 04:45
BlueBell Breathe out A habit in and out and a game that never folds I never went about to try and breathe I didn’t have to Breathe out
See a way to the holy vow Imagining the haze washed It could get up and take a walk bluebell bluebell blue… bell I pour out I hear it every time it calls my name I hear all those dreams in those netted wings Withering rids the doubt That you’re hiding in me And we’re tumbling .. I know I won’t be without The fight and the right to this place To settle ties and enemies Give it all to the ways of peace But don’t hide yourself HAVE YOURSELF oooh….. oooh…..

Stars 05:03
Stars That glow, the way it began And how i’m going to believe I have all those things Those things That glow A drop in the hole We all find a way to grab some more Helps us all to step into the trust, the trust We’re not gonna fall behind mmm mmm It must be what Makes it worth the run It’s gotta get old It’s gotta get up and on Where light shines Into the grime And into the storm when everyone is running ___ Stars are all abound Burning holes in the night I just wanted to know How to be one The way they move through infinite room Every body burns and everyone’s got the blues How would it grow if it kept going, going, going back for more? Hold on, let it take me on at midnight along the intimate heavens ‘till dawn begins the machine that heeds and breathes Stars are all in you The crown belongs to you Until you rise Free And high

Dream Without Birds Been water, somebody wanted and wrung Been little, somebody run, run While it was slipping away and with it heart & bones.. alone left to tumble down and tumble around How? in the shadow halos get brighter with time? How? in the carnival is a human bell? Or in a valley of dolls is a garden? Out of water dried eyes now, but getting tired Everybody knows it’s a trouble just to find courage to know, oh oh oh How you gonna give it enough when it’s gonna grow?  oh oh oh How you gonna live with yourself if you don’t give it a go? oh oh oh Just find yourself in the middle of the road oh no ... the ride!!!!!! oh no... we’re gonna decorate in a dip in the sun oooh no, oh you cover me with the love and a dip in the sun oh cover me and I will see the dream personified Home We’re coming home!! We rarely make the move to go home … home We’ll never make it through the maze if we take it alone We’re never gonna see it through until we take the long way out A heart is a gift of grace but won’t open alone It wants to live in this place like trees want to grow from stones The only place to be is where the beat is pulsing strong The only way to be is a rotating piece of home … home It’s a dream it’s a dream It’s a stolen dream It’s a dream come alive It’s a dream it’s a dream It’s a woven dream It’s a dream come alive It’s a dream it’s a dream It’s a stolen dream It’s a dream come alive It’s a dream it’s a dream It’s a woven dream It’s a dream come alive It’s a dream it’s a dream it’s a dream It’s a chosen dream come alive It’s a dream it’s a dream it’s a dream It’s a woken dream come alive Wanted dream

Guardian 06:27
Guardian He goes on from you A one way ticket to ride I had to know why the high, the low? When everything you do, like the sun and the moon, It’s you… It’s you. When I have the time running on I lead with a sigh, rise, bend 
You had me there at hello, hello. I know...you take me there everywhere, everywhere, everywhere If we had to take a dive we’d get wet everywhere that we rode, we rode If we ever caught the waves we’d take it on the search and define the “why” Take it on a ride Like a tether to the road Hold me Guardian Lift me up Hold me Guardian I’ll hold you down and out You guard me there like the sun and the moon... it’s you We go by the book But we never take a look at what it is we do We can have all the time but we’re running out of ways to be here with you Well, I’ll get old (but) can’t fade out of the source of love Fade out You’re on your own (but) you’re not alone You’re not alone

Turn me Around you like a constant swimmer hide the wave in the lung you like a distant runner ride wide and wait, pace holding on, my pain grow the watered dream bigger for me hide while I turn around turn me around hung the wave…. you wait for me holding on like a diver hold it all .. oooh ohhhh hallelujah hallelujah

about

Stretching the sound and feel of singer songwriter style until it becomes a kind of ambient music, Oh Halo creates a startling take on art rock and indie pop on BURDEN OF LIGHT. An air of spontaneous creation permeates the songs, with the music and singing coming out of a series of jams between Julie Dicterow, Marcy Hokama and Charlie Nieland. The tracks were subjected to gentle revisions and Eno like treatments to create a series of colorful landscapes, almost disorienting yet uplifting and very human. Solid thick beats blend with timeless keyboard textures and melodic bass lines to create brilliant settings for Julie to weave her melodies and dark poetry. Oh Halo brings a luminous blend of styles that feels at once classic and very modern with BURDEN OF LIGHT.
