CAMERAS
sun’s going down let’s get together
on the bridge we’ll meet up tonight
black pants red sweatshirt and brown bags
above the East River’s northern lights
——————————————
you see what I see
I thought it make believe
watched the sun rise
on my street
old cement makes for
a solid place to lay
bed of light grey
my bed of light grey
——————————————
while I know it’s letters
that can spell
I hear now it’s words that can say
I decided to start writing less
and I’m talking more everyday
——————————————
sixteen of our friends
a five seat bright red van
curbside view
turn off of grand
pound my steering wheel
we yell to the windshield
I’m finally home
I’m finally home
——————————————
no time for cameras
we’ll use our eyes instead
no time for cameras
we’ll be gone when we’re dead
no time for cameras
we’ll use our eyes instead
I see flashes of gold
——————————————
every single car alarm we hear
we’ll steal and throw through their window
my water comes straight from the tap
and those bottles are all just for show
——————————————
I see that we’re made of
more then blood and bones
see we’re made of
sticks and stones
don’t forget to breathe
need locks for your keys
don’t forget to breathe now
forget to breathe now
——————————————
no time for cameras
we’ll use our eyes instead
no time for cameras
we’ll be gone when we’re dead
no time for cameras
we’ll use our eyes instead
I see flashes of gold
I checked today’s weather: It’s supposed to be 95 in Brooklyn, 99 in Phoenix, and 90 in Kalamazoo, MI. So do me a favor. Open all your windows, cut off your sleeves, and stand up on some furniture… THEN put this song on. I think we can extend this summer right through the fall.
New album SIDEWALKS comes out NOV. 2nd
This week’s postcard picks! I think the piñata is my favorite. Keep em’ coming.
Big hugs,
Kim
I like to look up videos that other people do with our songs. I found these today.
There is one tap dancing one on here that I love! You have to understand, I love to dance and the thought of having a “Matt & Kim” dance video is a dream. One day I will have my way… In the meantime, check out some of these videos I found this morning. I am going to go search for more Matt and Kim dance videos.
big hugs

Daylight – Matt and Kim Tap Dance
Cutdown Dance
This one is a crazy snowboard video
And here’s a non-dance one that just cracked me up
IT’S OFFICIAL! On August 31, we’ll be releasing our first single, “CAMERAS”, from our upcoming fall album. We’ve been working on this album for most of 2010 and are so proud and excited and CAN’T WAIT for people to hear it!
We also have a final schedule of our fall tour. It includes the list of amazing support acts we chose and can’t wait to watch/listen/PARTY to each night.
See you all soon
stay awesome

Has it already been a month! I really hope I don’t miss summer, but we have important things to get done, like finish our album and get ready for our tour. I guess summer will have to wait.
