1.	A Tear 03:01	lyrics	buy track
Sometimes you go through life Can’t help but feel alone Find a shining light that makes you feel at home Find that one so special, a love that is so true But when you have to leave them it’s the hardest thing you do As nights keep going by There’s no one else around Days turn into months and he’s nowhere to be found Wish you would have shared your heart when he was loving you Then you wouldn’t be alone and feeling so blue Oh a tear, a tear is rolling down your cheek Lonely nights are all that’s left for me ‘Cause I had to say goodbye to your brown eyes Bye-bye Bye-bye brown eyes A tear, a tear is rolling down your cheek Lonely nights are all that’s left for me ‘Cause I had to say goodbye to your brown eyes The shadows grow longer with the setting sun Like my love for you, but when the day is done I will have no regrets about the love we shared For when the nighttime comes your shadow won’t be there Oh a tear, a tear is rolling down your cheek Lonely nights are all that’s left for me ‘Cause I had to say goodbye to your brown eyes Bye-bye Bye-bye brown eyes A tear, a tear is rolling down your cheek Lonely nights are all that’s left for me ‘Cause I had to say goodbye to your brown eyes Bye-bye Bye-bye brown eyes A tear, a tear is rolling down your cheek Lonely nights are all that’s left for me ‘Cause I had to say goodbye to your brown eyes

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
4.	After Party 03:07 video	lyrics	buy track
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
5.	Come Back To My Arms 04:33	lyrics	buy track
Since you left me alone I can hardly go on Please baby, come back It’s been a year now since I felt you fall away Oh, I can hardly watch a sunset ‘Cause it means another day Since you left me alone I can hardly go on Please baby, come back to my arms Well I’d tread all the water down that Mississippi way And I’d even swim with the ghosts if it’d mean another day That I could call you my own These lips have grown cold Please baby, come back to my arms All these things You say were untrue Well they keep sending me right back Right back to you All these things Well they must be true ‘Cause they keep sending me right back Right back to you I don’t know how it happened we hardly skipped a beat You used to hold me so close as we danced in the streets But since you left me alone I can hardly go on Please baby, come back to my arms All these things You say were untrue Well they keep sending me right back Right back to you All these things Well they must be true ‘Cause they keep sending me right back Right back to you Since you left me alone I can hardly go on Please baby, come back

Trapped in the desert Feeling like a fool I got lost in Southwest Texas Just looking to see the truth Can feel it in the heartbeat Can feel it in the spine I’ve been screaming at the moon all night Just hoping to call you mine I got lost in Southwest Texas Just searching for a clue I got lost in Southwest Texas Just trying to let go of you I got held up in Nashville In Nashville, Tennessee If I wasn’t worried about my sanity I’d see the answer right in front of me But now I’m home in the swamplands And its time to make amends If it’s the last thing I do you’ll find me by the bayou Just looking to see the truth I got lost in Southwest Texas And I got held up in Tennessee Yeah, but I’ve been found in Louisiana Way down in New Orleans Oh, well I got lost in Southwest Texas Just searching for a clue Yeah, but I’ve been found in Louisiana Just trying to let go of you If it’s the last thing I do You’ll find me by the bayou Just looking to see the truth

Oh my mama how she loved me But had to let me go So she lead me down to the river In the forest off the road And her hair shone like silver And her eyes were black as stone She took down, down to the garden And she left me all alone It was there in that garden I stayed ’til I grew old The flower crown she placed upon me Was dried up and gone And her hair shone like silver And her eyes were black as stone She took me down, down to the garden And she left me all alone All alone, all alone All alone, all alone Oh mama don’t you know my sorrow Don’t forget me when you go Mother left, children only follow And her name I’ll never know And her hair shone like silver And her eyes were black as stone She kissed me on the forehead Said daughter I must go And her hair shone like silver And her eyes were black as stone She took me down, down to the river And she left me all alone All alone, all alone All alone, all alone All alone, all alone All alone, all alone All alone, all alone All alone, all alone
9.	Eye For An Eye 03:37	lyrics	buy track
If you feel like it’s gonna rain Just let it wash away the pain I can see it in your eyes Don’t worry, we’ll make it through the night Carved our names in a tree in Tennessee Bees were swimming in the sky I heard somewhere they cut that old tree down Oh, but I pray it was a lie It’s time that we meet again The line between now and then If we let go of our pride I promise everything will be alright Meet me in the Cypress trees I’ll trade an eye for an eye Just to search for you through the thick bayou Oh, until the morning light Carved our names in a tree in Tennessee Bees were swimming in the sky I heard somewhere they cut that old tree down Oh, but I pray it was a lie Yeah, I pray it was a lie

Oh Eva, how does it feel I brought you back to life And now you’re here I picked your best parts I sewed you up nice So now tell me dear Do you feel alright Do you feel alright Well Frankie my dear I’m feeling kind of weird My hands don’t look like they used to There’s scars on my neck And bolts in your neck You look different too I think I’m kind of scared of you Oooh, why did he bring me back To this dark and lonesome place I needed you here my dear Oooh, I’m sorry I brought you back I couldn’t go on alone without you by my side My head’s in a spin I don’t feel quite right You made a monster out of me I’m not quite alive I know you’re scared too So here’s what we’ll do We’ll get revenge together In the dark monster life Oooh, why did you bring me back To this dark and lonesome place I needed you here my dear Oooh, I’m sorry I brought you back I couldn’t go on alone without you by my side Oooh, why did he bring me back Oooh, why did you bring me back To this dark and lonesome place I needed you here my dear Oooh, I’m sorry I brought you back I couldn’t go on alone without you by my side Oooh, why did he bring me back Oooh, why did he bring me back
11.	Last Night 05:29	lyrics	buy track
Last night you held me for the first time A gentle breeze blew in through the open window Surrounded by the soft glow of a candle Burning down, melting everything around From my body to the floor boards Rattling the windows and doors So far in between reality and a dream When the night fades into the day And I can’t stop seeing your face You are made of earth and wood I’d love you all night if I could When I lay down to fall asleep I hope to see you in my dreams Last night you held me for the first time I felt your hand move across my Back as we swayed in the firelight And the fire burned brighter Than before, calling me back for more And the crickets played their song The sweetest song all night long All, all night You are made of earth and wood I’d love you all night if I could When I lay down to fall asleep I hope to see you in my dreams

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.
