Somebody For Him

She says she needs to find
somebody for him.
“Who him?”, all the girls say,
“Nah, don’t think so. No.”

She says she needs to find
somebody for him.
“Who him?”, the other girls say,
“Nah, don’t think so. No.”
Time and again.

“Maybe he’s awkward,
a little bit shy,
but to hear his words
they will make you cry.
Is there somebody for him?”

“I don’t think he’s ugly
but I really don’t care
‘cause I can find my beauty anywhere.
It’s there.
I know that it’s there.“

But is there somebody for him?
But is there somebody for him?

She says she needs to find
somebody like him.
“Who him?”, all her friends say,
“Nah, don’t think so. No.”

She says she needs to find
somebody like him.
“Who him?”, the other girls say,
“Nah, don’t think so. No.”
Time and again

Is there somebody for him?
Is there somebody for him?

Somebody For Him All of the songs on this debut album by Whitlan were recorded over a single weekend by Big Kuhli Studios at Muddy Bluff Ranch in Bleiblerville, Texas. Visit www.whitlan.com for more.

Falling

Can I seduce you?
Can I stay for a while?
I won't let me hurt you
I won't let me make you smile

I've got plenty of things to hold
I've bought many stolen souls
I've got nothing that's not my own
I feel lucky and I'm not alone.

I've been hungry and I've been starved
I've been falling beneath these stars
I've been crying on sunny days
You've been dying but I'm not afraid alone.

Sorry I replaced you
Sorry that you can't see
It took alot to be near you
I got it all and I picked it clean

I've got plenty of things to hold
I've bought many stolen souls
I've got nothing that's not my own
I feel lucky when I'm alone.

Can’t Believe

There’s a summer wind in your eyes
the autumn wind cannot ignore
There’s summer wind in your eyes
that falling leaves could not endure

I cannot believe anything from you,
I cannot believe everything for you
I would have done anything it’s true,
I would have been anything

There’s a winter wind in your eyes
the spring breeze cannot ignore
There’s a winter wind in your eyes
blooming flowers can’t endure

I cannot believe anything from you,
I cannot believe everything for you
I would have done anything it’s true,
I would have been anything

There’s a blue light flashing in my head,
the silver wire looks like a burning thread

I can’t believe anything from you,
I cannot believe everything for you
I would have done anything, yes, it’s true,
I would have been anything, would have you

What we’ve had has gone away

Fly

She says that she’s gone away.
She says that nothing’s changed.
I feel for her just the same.
I almost wish she hadn’t changed her mind
But she don’t love me.
I’ll die if she don’t care.
I’ll fly if she’s so happy.
I’ll fly. I’ll fly.

No longer can I wonder.
No longer can I feel this way.
Well, the past is gone and
She won’t change her mind.
She don’t love me.
I’ll die if she don’t care.
I’ll fly if she’s so happy.
I’ll fly. I’ll fly.

All my soul will change nothing.
All my heart will change nothing.
All my love will change nothing.
My caress will never change her mind
Cause she don’t love me.
I’ll die if she don’t care.
I’ll fly if she’s so happy.
I’ll fly. I’ll fly.

Surfacing The Sky

Everything fades into nothing.
It seems to get smaller and smaller.
Everything, trees, buildings, people,
You and I surfacing the sky.

Our horizons carry so much and
We see so little.
Sucking everything in
Like blackholes on the horizon with
You and I surfacing the sky.

It fades away into the nothing.
It’s getting smaller and smaller still.
Yet it grows and smaller we get
The less I can see of
You and I surfacing the sky.

The weight on my back is crushing me.
It swallows my every move.
I’m getting smaller and then I see
A blackhole on the horizon with
You and I surfacing the sky.

Letting Go

I drove around with my hand on my forehead.
I put my elbow on the windowsill.
What are these things that I am seeing?
What is this taste that I am bleeding?

It takes all that I am.
It takes all that I know.
It takes all that I have
To keep from letting go.

Like a bird on a wire it's under me.
Like a bird on a wire I'm holding on.
Like a bull rider it's under me and kicking.
Like a bull rider I'm holding on.

It takes all that I am.
It takes all that I know.
It takes all that I have
To keep from letting go.

So come around my way
and I'll tell you what
You're gonna say next.
Come on and get in my face
Because my tongue is bleeding
Clean through this familiar taste.

Like a bird on a wire it's under me.
Like a bird on a wire I'm holding on.
Like a bull rider it's under me and kicking.
Like a bull rider I'm holding on.

It takes all that I am.
It takes all that I know.
It takes all that I have
To keep from letting go.

Like a bird on a wire it's under me.
Like a bird on a wire I'm holding on.
Like a bull rider it's under me and kicking.
Like a bull rider I'm holding on.

Big Clift Sky

"It's nice to meet you.", said the farmer to his dog and they run through the woods 'til they find a hollow log.
I never believed a word.
They said he would be dead.

It swallows me.
Sometimes the sky looks like mountains.
Sometimes the sky looks like the sea.
It swallows me.
It's a Big Clift sky tonight.
There's a moon on the rise.
It swallows me tonight.

Before you could see me down here
You flew above those clouds,
Before you knew what it was all about.

It swallows me.
It's a Big Clift sky tonight.
There's a moon on the rise.
It swallows me tonight.
Sometimes the sky looks like mountains.
Sometimes the sky looks like the sea.
It swallows me.
It's a Big Clift sky tonight.
There's a moon on the rise.
It swallows me tonight.

Under Your Wing

Riding on the thermals of dead beasts
It won't be too long
Before you're over the trees
To see how far you've flown

Is it everything
You thought it would be
Do you see everything
You thought you would see
All the sun in the sky
All the prey in your sight
How the wind is warm
Under your wing

And when it all comes crashing down
It won't be too long
Before you taste the ground
And every thing you've known
Now the wind is gone
Under your wing

It wasn't everything
You thought it would be
You didn't see everything
You thought you would see
All the sun in the sky
All the prey in your sight
Now the wind is gone
Under your wing

The spoils of war have gone away
All the praise and accolades
All the sun in the sky
All the prey at your side
All the wind is gone
Under your wing

Beautiful

She storms in, her face like a stone.
She’s angry, feeling so alone.
She’s crying in the hallway.
He consoles her and it was something,
That nothing in her eyes

In your eyes am I all you see?
In my mind am I all you need?
The rain outside won’t seem to go away.
The pain in side won’t believe today.

Believe today.
Believe the beautiful woman.

On the sidewalk I walk with no shoes and
She stands there waiting for the words to come.
I hold her, she holds on to herself.
It was something, that nothing in her eyes.

In your eyes am I all you see?
In my mind am I all you need?
The rain outside won’t seem to go away.
The pain in side won’t believe today.
Believe the beautiful woman, I say,
Open your arms to me today.
Beautiful woman, I say,
Open your heart to me today.

Over the last 6 months, after releasing Under Your Wing, we’ve grown increasingly tired of needing a paid service like iTunes, Spotify or Amazon to listen to the album online. We were never in this to make money anyway. Sure, we will still sell shirts and CD’s and such since the physical merchandise is still the only way to have it all! Thanks again to those that helped us with the album and documentary release. Without you none of this would have been possible! Thank you!
