First & foremost let me say I'm finished writing in such a frivolously flouncy, flamboyant manner. I'm done dancing with words; through thinking of thoughtful things to say. This page is simply supposed to say something about the state of Big Sister, but its seriously starting to spiral into some sort of psychobabble pompously posing as poetry. The pressure of profundity prevents me from clear communication and I can't conjure clarity while caution careens carelessly through my thoughts. Enough said…
Big Sister will be recording another cd (our 6th) over the summer, and we are very excited to get our new music to y'all. If you have any title ideas don't hesitate to send us your suggestions. Some of our favorites so far are Greatestits, and Juggling Vices. We'll be playing more & more as the sun feels warmer & the days get longer, so keep checking the "gigs" section for new dates. Here are some lyrics of songs that will most likely make it onto the new record.

Out of Time (Lara Parks)
(chorus)
I am lost in this world
Out of time
Floating in an eternal
Blink of an eye
When I close my eyes
Is that nothing, or is that everything?
This world is in disguise
And it leaves me all alone with my memory
I've been trapped forever in a second
And I have flown through the years
I float in & throughout time
And wherever "now" is, I'm here.
(chorus)
What I feel inside is everything I know
And the days go by
And the grass continues to grow
I am all what has passed
And right now is what's gonna be
I'm qualified as any God
And wise as a baby
(chorus)
Glisten (Shelly Prior)
How many times can I hold you close?
How many times can I let you go?
You are the one that made me feel the most
But you pretend that you don't know
How many times will you sell your soul
Before you see that it is made of gold?
The one who purchases it must be told
That souls are priceless and can not be sold
(chorus)
I am a fallen angel, I was banished from the skies
I feel in love with a constellation, now I'm unable to fly
I only glisten when I look in your eyes
I saw a safe place, was it in a dream?
Or did I read it in some poetry?
I saw some letters living in a tree
I could've sworn they spelled out "you and me".
(chorus)
You are a fallen angel, You were banished from the skies
You fell in love with a constellation, now you're unable to fly
You only glisten when you look in my eyes
In The Mood for a Dream (Lara Parks)
I'm so fried
From all the ups and all the let downs
I really tried
And all the echoes of my trying resound
I might've been wrong
A long lifetime ago
'Cause now I wanna sing my song
And karma just won't let me go
(Chorus)
I want to wake up in the mood for a dream
Not having seen some of the truth that I've seen
I want to dance upon the treetops
And see the magic in the raindrops
Oh, Oh, Oh
Shoobie doobie doobie do wee!
Time doesn't exist
And money it comes & goes
I just want to breathe in the air
And feel the earth between my toes
I've been drained
From all numbers and all the "no"s
I've been trained
To hang on but I'm letting go
(chorus)
