Through the silver trees his voice carries me Down on bended knees I’ve waited for so long For the time to be so close to me I haven’t forgot his face Eyes shining in the light Eyes shining in the light Is this just a dream I’m dreaming tonight Full moon night like tonight Make me feel young again Like I could do anything Full moon night like tonight Make me feel young again Like I could do anything Take me back in time to when you were mine All the days were long and everything felt right Wanna see you move in the silver light Wanna see your body over mine Full moon night like tonight Make me feel young again Like I could do anything Full moon night like tonight Make me feel young again Like I could do anything Wanna see you move in the silver light Wanna see your body over mine Full moon night like tonight Make me feel young again Like I could do anything Full moon night like tonight Make me feel young again Like I could do anything
3.	Neon Lights 04:26	lyrics	buy track
I knew your soul long ago Life times ago before you met me It seems that we’ve been skipping like stones for eternity Do you remember the drive from L.A. to Denver Passing through the night They didn’t think we would make it on time But everything was still alright I should have married you in Vegas in the neon lights In the haze of dawn when our love was young Married you in Vegas in the morning sun Oh, how do I get you back there again My heart’s already there again How do I get us back there again How did we lose sight of what really matters In the distance between I’ll look you in the eye when I talk to you But you don’t hear me I’ll wait by the phone for hours You can call me what you like Just to hear the phone ring and for you to tell me that Everything is still alright I should have married you in Vegas in the neon lights In the haze of dawn when our love was young Married you in Vegas in the morning sun Oh, how do I get you back there again My heart’s already there again How do I get us back there again

The night is dark and the party’s over So come on the levee and be my lover I know you’re gone in the morning light But I’m gonna love you all through the night Tomorrow you’re driving away But I’ll get you back in my arms someday I pray So play that pedal steel sweet Play it lonely only for me Kiss me once before you go Tonight you’re the only thing that I want to know So soft and sweet Don’t let the sun rise on me Kiss me once before you go Tonight you’re the only thing that I want to know Kiss me once before you go Tonight you’re the only thing that I want to know Tonight you’re the only thing that I want to know

about

Although recorded in the band's hometown of New Orleans, Meet The Lostines — the full-length debut from songwriters Casey Jane Reece-Kaigler and Camille Wind Weatherford — is an album that charts its own geography. This is where the swampland meets the sock hop. Where golden-age rock & roll crosses paths with old-school country. Where timeless American roots music drops its anchor and climbs skyward, finding some balance between the earthy and the otherworldly.

At the center of that sound are the entwined voices of Casey Jane and Camille, two longtime friends whose songs explore the uncharted territory between genres. There's rarely a melody on Meet The Lostines that the two don't sing together, stacking their voices into lush harmonies that recall the girl groups of the 1960s. Don't mistake Meet The Lostines for a retro project, though. It's a modern album that exists out of time, filled with songs about heartbreak, old relationships, new beginnings, and vulnerability.

"Our songwriting process is like a therapy session," says Camille. "We'll show our ideas to each other, work out our harmonies, and then bring the song to our band so they can add their influences, too. When it comes to creating the full sound of the Lostines, the band — and New Orleans as a whole — has a huge influence on that."

Before relocating to New Orleans as young adults, Camille and Casey Jane were both raised by musical families in the Pacific Northwest. "My parents taught me to play guitar, and I grew up going to fiddle camps, too," says Casey Jane, an Oregon native whose vocal harmonies can be heard on albums across the New Orleans americana-verse. Meanwhile, Camille grew up in Portland, where her mother regularly attended a weekly jam session with several family friends. Camille began playing guitar as a teenager and eventually headed to New Orleans, meeting up with artists like Sam Doores, Riley Downing, and Pat Reedy along the way.

"New Orleans was a magnet for both of us," says Casey Jane. As new residents of the city, the two musicians crossed paths at a campfire hosted by a mutual friend. A spark was lit as soon as they sang together, with their voices meshing together seamlessly. Inspired, they formed their own band — one that would salute their adopted hometown of New Orleans, but also reach far beyond the city's borders for inspiration — and got to work, unveiling their sound with EPs like The Lostines and Heart of Night before turning a new page with Meet the Lostines.

Meet the Lostines is more than a full-length introduction. It's an invitation to enter the Lostines' world: a place where baritone guitars are coated in spring reverb, where orchestral strings swoon and sway, where Cajun fiddle solos share the spotlight with Theremin and upright piano. Many of these songs take place at night, and Meet the Lostines unfolds like a soundtrack to the wee small hours. “After the Party” takes the listener for a midnight walk along the levy overlooking the Mississippi River and the Industrial Canal, with fiddle and pedal steel guitar providing the soundtrack. “Neon Lights” looks back at an overnight drive from Los Angeles to Denver, with a bouncing chorus that's every bit as luminous as the title suggests. “Full Moon Night” twinkles like a sky full of stars, rooted in a storyline about desire, longing, and the lure of a past relationship.

With contributions from some of New Orleans' brightest lights, including Sam Doores (The Deslondes), Ross Farbe (Videoage), Howe Pearson and Gina Leslie (too many to count), Meet the Lostines is also the work of a community. Skyway Man camped out at the recording studio for a week, playing multiple instruments on multiple songs. K.C. Jones and Joel Savoy contributed dueling Cajun fiddles to "Southwest Texas" and "After the Party." Jordan Odom played electric guitar on "Come Back To My Arms," Casey McAllister played keys on "Southwest Texas," and Ross pulled double-duty as the album's lead guitarist and engineer in addition to mixing and co-producing the record with Sam and The Lostines. Casey Jane and Camille may have been the captains, but this was a team effort.

"We are fortunate to be surrounded by friends who are incredible musicians and songwriters, and we all influence one another," says Casey Jane. "A lot of our bandmates are in our friends' bands, as well, and there's something that feels very cohesive about that, because there's so much collaboration." Collaboration. That's the glue that holds Meet The Lostines together. It's an album that bridges the gaps between genres, created by two songwriters who're happy to build their own world.
