Don't Forget

I just played a benefit show to raise money for Haiti. It's been almost 2 years since I traveled to Haiti, but I felt as if I was back in the heat with this nonsensical heat wave we're having in St. Louis - solidarity folks.

So, keeping in step with the benefit idea, don't forget that every cent I make from The River Child, goes to building freshwater wells in the developing world.

Go here and name your price...get a sweet album and help provide fresh drinking water to those in need!

Peace,

Ross

Recording The Lost Narrative

This past weekend, Lacy and I wrote and recorded some tunes for the upcoming, The Lost Narrative album. We wrote 2 tunes from scratch: Escape & The Goodness In Your Heart. It looks like the album will be a 6-track EP, and I promise some awesome harmony-laden, folk-indie-electronicness. I'll throw another quick-mix on the blog tomorrow (so be sure to check back).

In the meantime, here are some pics from inside the studio:

I'm pumped for the album and I hope you are too!

Peace,
Ross

Death to the Dreamer

Here's some new lyrics to a song Lacy and I will be recording tonight for the upcoming The Lost Narrative album. Its a theme I think plagues culture - this notion that we remain in the comfortable and never really pursue our wildest dreams.

DEATH TO THE DREAMER
(c) 2010 Ross Christopher

VERSE 1
You beg my conversation
And rule the ways I judge
You stomp on dreams and trying
And keep me comfortable
You've never had to try hard
To pry me from myself -
'Cause self is god, and you preach all day

VERSE 2
Its easy and feels right
And death to the dreamer
To failing and trying again
Death to the ride of chance
We know how it ends -
To ever being sold your lies

CHORUS
Lies - sold your lies
Lies - 10,000 lies
Lies - been sold your lies
(sold your lies)

VERSE 3
Death to purer vision
And death to me
Death to ever being
And death to free
To love and follow passion
When comfort's on the line -
Death to being sold your lies

CHORUS
Lies - sold your lies
Lies - 10,000 lies
Lies - been sold your lies
(sold your lies)

And then there's this guy....

Yep, that really happened.
