Storied tales of truths untold Make me sick inside my bones Sunken ships won’t sail again Can’t you see me I’m waiting To come home Silent words of truth unfold And bring me to a place near home These broken bones will heal again I just want to hear you Sing Hold your breath and run like mad All you’ve done and all I’ve said Grab your things and pack your bags Hold your breath and run like mad

Ancient Eyes 04:06
Go east past Smoketown Road To the rolling hills where the peaches grow And there you’ll find a quiet kind of life Go north past the river grove To the forest where spring water flows And there you’ll find her ancient eyes This isn’t her first time on earth Everything she knows and everything I learn Make me believe she’s been here before Evening skies are red Ancient eyes are blue Local honey is sweet Under wisdom of tall trees Go south past the old town mill To the dirt road where time stands still And there you’ll find a simple kind of life Go west past the sunset hill To the meadow that the moonlight fills And there you’ll find her ancient eyes

I Saw God 02:18
I saw God out of the corner of my eye And I didn’t die, no I didn’t die But you said That I might You said that I might die I saw God cross the street in style And I followed her for awhile But she ran She ran in She ran into the wild You said I might die But I am alright I found God inside a raindrop She fell in a river And she never stopped No she Never stopped She never ever stopped Then we flowed to the ocean deep Where together we rolled into the sea And we were Never lost We were never ever lost You said I might die But I am alive

It’s a bird on the snow It’s a dog in the sky It’s that shine in your eye It’s the dirt on the ground Show me that love is all around It’s a kiss on the mouth It’s the beat of a drum It’s that warm afternoon sun It’s your name through the air Tell me that love can be found anywhere It’s the touch of the moon It’s the rhyme in the rain When your heart can’t hold the pain Just let me hear you sing Tell me that love lives in everything Every once in a while It would be nice to know The way that old tune Is really supposed to go Sing your heart out with the words you know Sing your heart out with the words you know Sing your heart out with the words you know Sing your heart out with the words you know

about

Landlocked Sailor’s maiden voyage is a four-song EP from Dan and Ben Clark, two Midwestern brothers who blend the musical stylings of The Beatles, Dr. Dog, Bon Iver, and Iron & Wine with hopeful lyrics, warm harmonies, and bright guitars. The Clark Brothers are searching, but they are not adrift. They are looking for beauty, wonder, and love, and they're inviting you to join them. The opening song “Hold Your Breath” begins as an introspective search for home and healing as Ben whisks away his love, exhorting her to “hold your breath and run like mad.” With “Ancient Eyes,” the Clark brothers catch their breath as they journey across the rolling hills and peach groves of the countryside to a peaceful place where Dan is captivated by a woman whose beauty and wisdom convince him that “this isn’t her first time on earth.” As the spacious melody and lush strings of “Ancient Eyes” fade, “I Saw God” finds Dan encountering the divine in unexpected places over Bon Iver-inspired beats and background vocals. In the final song, “Bird on the Snow,” the Clark brothers find love in the mundane before their Beatles-inspired drums, guitar and Wurlitzer meet a contagious refrain inviting the listener to “sing your heart out with the words you know.”
