Do You 03:05
I feel winter turning into spring colors blooming everywhere like long lost dreams I see flowers drifting in the wind sand upon an epitaph we stopped and read do you? I feel summer slipping into fall clouds are forming overhead as winter calls do you? I stand and I watch as the sun rises again stand and watch as the sun rises again stand and watch as the sun rises again stand and watch as the sun rises again I feel winter turning into spring storms are forming overhead as nature breathes do you? I feel summer drifting into fall

Shades 04:26
I remember when we were just kids streetlights outside on a park bench we were dreaming 'bout the rest of our lives there was a party, you were invited I was tagging along too cool to get up and get going now I'm dreaming on the way tonight there was a party, we were invited I want love, I want time get your shades on girl let's turn back the clock tonight I want love, I want time put your shades on girl we can both be stars tonight I remember when we were just friends prank wars, old cars in Austin now we're holding each others heart this is a party, let's get it started always taking it slow too wise to get up and get going now I'm dreaming on the way tonight there was a party, we were invited I want love, I want time put your shades on girl let's turn back the clock tonight You want love, you want time put your shades on girl we can both be stars tonight

I was lost like Buddha's head rolling stoned and disobedient civilly realizing this ascent of perfume clearly ashes from the flue captured roses blossoming pockets, poses, diamond rings a hard rain's forming umbrellas unfolding hearts still falling in love falling in love falling in love falling in love falling in love orchids open drawing breath scented rivers painted red you craned your neck rushing to see fireflies along the line wrinkles in our socks and time boyhood played on silver screens rockets, voices, vanished dreams a hard rain's forming umbrellas unfolding hearts still falling in love falling in love falling in love falling in love falling in love come along girl, set your dreams in motion if I'm the moon then you can be the ocean see the stars shine bright upon your waters they can make war, baby, we can make lovers two stars in the darkness float one alight and one aglow darling place your hand in mine hold this image in your mind a hard rain's forming umbrellas unfolding hearts still falling in love falling in love falling in love falling in love falling in love

Take My Hand 04:42
I went walking up a mountain just to try to be beside you well I hope I am baby, we're both older now still ain't got this figured out well I figure we're getting better at building fires gather round and take a hand crossed an ocean in a moment always searching for something golden well I hope I am baby, we're both older now still ain't got this figured out well I figure we're getting better at building fires gather round and take a hand

about

Justin Hancock first met his wife in college, when they lived in two separate houses on catty corner streets. They were crushes, then friends. They had late night conversations on park benches about life and the world beyond the borders of Texas and the United States, and were each inspired to seek adventure, learn new languages, and see the world with new perspective. When they returned to Austin nearly a decade later, they reconnected as friends and adventurers. They shared stories late into the night about the lives they lived, the world they experienced, and discovered something greater, their love for one another.

There Was A Party was written over the course of their reconnection and relationship, and recorded in the months between their engagement and wedding. Most were recorded on an iPhone. Two were recorded in a barn.

The album would not have been possible without the help and support of Corissa Wandmacher, Faith Landry, and Matt Graham.
