Pictured on the back is a compound creation straight from the imaginative minds of SmokeApes: a dual-function orrery and record player, with a western spotted towhee placing the needle. Inside, a collection of candid photos from the memory cards of yesteryear.

lyrics

Some stars are merely ghosts.
So far, they’ve spent most of their time learning how to shine.
My heart is getting close: try hard to keep her in line,
tell her to beat in time.

Sometimes that little box skips a beat.
It always seems to happen when you’re with me.
Sometimes that little box skips a beat.
If this isn’t the life, then what could it be?

If I write down every word and share them in ephemeral song,
then when we vanish from this earth, will love carry on?
And if I cherish every breath, each day’s death and flaring dawn,
then when we meet our timely end, will love carry on?

For billions of years some atoms drifted through space;
at some point they came together to form your pretty face.
I’ve been staring at the constellations
wondering which one of them you came from.
If most of our universe were made up of nothing,
then how very beautiful that we are here,
capable of loving, breathing, growing, and holding hands.

I will write down every word and share them in ephemeral song,
so when we vanish from this earth Love will carry on.
I will cherish every breath, each day’s death and flaring dawn
so when we meet our timely end, love will carry on.
I will cherish every breath and share them in ephemeral song;
serenade until the end that love will carry on.
