1.
Indian summer is waiting for you Do anything that you want to do Feel the heat, run to the sea A lovers connection between you and me We are the future, see us glimmer, in the sun Hot and reflecting, psychedelic rays on everyone Guided by drums, pounding the beat Deep in the forest, on a hillside we meet Everyone here's got crazy eyes Life in a bottle, drinking it dry
2.
Space 05:11
I walk along the line Between the night and day to come We are floating lost in time Spinning round with everyone Some are working off the land Some they working for their pay Sometimes I wake and I am burning Space is running away Gonna make two where there’s one Just a little more to share with everyone one Pass the coffee but hold the cream Not everyone is who they seem Try to find the time to take it down, to write it, make it your own Every little sign that I see on the road brings me, closer to home
3.
I Am You 05:25
Gone away, to another time The silence is broken by love, give me a sign Under the darkness a light, begins to appear From ten thousand light years ago, the picture is clear Hey, it’s a wave in motion Hey, its an endless night Hey, and underneath the silver light, I am you All my life, I'm reaching outside The window is open for you, but you must decide A beautiful feeling tonight, losing control May the stones in your passway all be, diamonds and gold The wave rolls over me A ship, a boat, a brand new owner A time to stand, a dream to lie A home to leave, there is no other Path to the outside
4.
In Our Time 05:03
All the waiting, we have done. The clock, has finally rung. And our day for traveling is here. We’re gonna drive, to the sun. And leave, the sea behind. To keep moving forward you’ve got, to switch up the gears. In our time we were, always on the run, play for anyone we had no choice In our time we were, trying to hold it down, searchin’ for the sound to find a voice In our time, we were I try to see, straight ahead. Through a storm, that will not pass So we turn up the Hips, ah-ah, and try to relax When the wind, starts to blow. And turns, your world to white Hold your breath, you’re blind, speed in the night One way streets, and neon signs, we pull up to the door We gonna burn it down in Reno In our time, we were
5.
Never Gone 04:11
Where have you gone, my brother my friend Did you hear the angels, inside of your head Singing about a place, where the pain would be no more We were still learning, when you closed the door Here we are, let’s drink some wine For all the ones we left behind Raise a bottle and sing the song You can leave, but you’re never gone We worked in the field, the Summer of ‘03 Made a little money, to follow our dreams I had my guitar, you left for LA Too young to know better, too restless to stay There is a star, in the southern sky Burns a little brighter, since your goodbye In my next life, when I see you again I hope you’re still grinin’, my brother my friend
6.
Eyes Can See 03:53
Heavy things are falling, the stars from the sky There’s a change in the weather, and the troops are standing by Waiting for the end, they say is gonna come I am a believer, the worlds come undone I don’t want to watch it, on the glowing screen Don’t need the news to tell me, my eyes can see The earth has been shaking, like jello on a plate No one has the answer, so we put our trust in fate, The early morning sunrise, the promises we keep The good friends we have made, and the strangers we will meet I don’t want to watch it, on the glowing screen Don’t need the news to tell me, my eyes can see Because I felt the vibration, I see it in the air A painted impression, of the colors everywhere Of the colors, every where The colors, everywhere

about

Recorded one afternoon at Tones on Tails (Oakland CA), HYPERSWIMMERS is a collection of songs written by Lorne Smith in late 2011. Starting in Oct 2012 with the first single INDIAN SUMMER, a new track will be released and added each month for the next 6 months.

Inspiration came quickly and in many forms - a road trip through a snow storm to Reno to play what was to become the final show for Lorne's last band Guns for San Sebastian ("In Our Time"), the wild exuberance of love and youth on a rare hot SF day ("Indian Summer"), the suspension between wake and sleep as a long night goes on forever ("Space"), the vanishing of time and space and interconnectedness of all things ("I Am You"), the desire to see and experience for one's self without being told what to think by the media ("Eyes Can See"), and a lament for a lost friend ("Never Gone").

about

The Wayhighs Lafayette, California

Wayhigh is a state of natural rush induced by on-the-spot-in-the-moment artistic creation without thought....channeling..the zone.. It’s a sound born in the Fells Point blues bars of Lorne’s hometown of Baltimore. It grew up on the beach, around the campfire, by the river, and beneath the tall trees. Recently they have shared the stage with Tea Leaf Green, Rusted Root, Stanton Moore, and Tracorum ... more
