How do I do this? Black water seems endless Reach out to you my last hope To rise above the swallowing waves of it all Shine a light Flailing I’m afraid on pain of failing But if there’s nothing between us I’ll pick myself up and I’ll guide you home Shine your light across the sea Trust me I’m trying I won’t let it take you away Before this water gets too deep Water’s undying I’ll find you and carry you home Shine your light across the sea Trust me I’m trying I won’t let it take you away Before this water swallows me Water’s undying I’ll find you and carry you home Shine your light across the sea Trust me I’m trying I won’t let it take you away Before this water gets too deep Water’s undying I’ll find you and carry you home If you don’t find me, will we both be lost?

I make it up a lot, and then to throw up the pieces I live in a movie with long nights I look at your picture in the dark Make believe that you are still in my heart and taste The regret on my lips I’m not your minion, I haven’t ever made a mistake Since I signed away on that dotted line But I’m too old and tired To move on investigate I lived through the lies I only hope its not too late I’ll wait til you die To get what was mine I’ll wait til you die Perfectly timed I’ll wait til you die To get what was mine I’ll wait til you die Perfectly timed

You wanna be noticed But you feel unseen When she treats you like a child But you’re really seventeen And you’re not the one That gets to be the coolest When you try to fit in It only seems foolish Just to be noticed Just to be noticed Just to be noticed By you, again You wanna be noticed But you feel unseen When she treats you like a child But you’re really seventeen Just to be noticed Just to be noticed Just to be noticed By you, again Just to be noticed Just to be noticed By you, again Just to be noticed By you, again

about

"In the end, the music that EP Island make sounds (and feels) like freedom. It’s the product of very talented musicians trying to expand their musical palette with music that hasn’t been planned and has been recorded in a blitzkrieg style."

- Sloucher.org

Wanting a break from the usual band grind, LL Schultz (vocals, guitar, keyboards) and Melanie Covey (percussion) started EP Island as a side project that would exist only when they wanted it to, scheduled periodically as one-weekend events, with the goal of writing and recording as much as possible at LL’s studio over 3 days. This non-band "band" offered an intense creative process that produced immediate results. Possibilities to explore and vary the EP Island sound have grown with the inclusion of a special guest musician in each subsequent outing.

EP Island's third and latest EP, Sweet’ish, features veteran indie rocker Sarah Jane Truman (The Doers, Secret Mommy). Bringing Truman into the mix this time around influenced a sound reminiscent of The Cure, Joy Division and Versus. Sweet’ish documents the first time the 3 musicians have ever played together, was written in 24 hours, recorded in 24 hours, and further mixed by LL. Song ideas were spawned from old projector slides that provoked topics such as lighthouse operators, unhappy senior marriages and teenage egos.

EP Island's previous releases include the 2008 debut Good’ish, followed by Rad’ish in 2009, which features the talents of Lyn Heinemann (Portico, Drawn Ship). All EPs have been released online, mostly for free, with donation requests only to cover hard costs like beer, mastering, and food for the studio cat, Menue.
