Amanda Riegel I stared at the track list for 10 minutes trying to pick just one to list as my favorite, I hope that gives an inkling as to how much I love this album. The Woodlands is hauntingly light and beautiful. The lyrics and sweet music blend wonderfully to paint pictures in your imagination and sooth your emotions. Incredibly moving music to wrap you in serenity. Favorite track: Day To Day.

Abby Holmes Just like a desolate winter night muffled by snowfall, the couple’s songs are curiously soothing. Even during its dark moments, there isn’t one thing about the Woodlands that is not endearing. Forget harps and lyres, hymns and psalms; I think this is really the kind of music you’ll hear in heaven. Favorite track: Anymore.

UNTIL THE DAY DIMS V1 That day Saturday took us to your door Sat in the kitchen with windows Open so wide Slowly candidly words were unfolding Hands on the table and grasping Comfort our souls CH And we’ll linger Until the day dims Suddenly leaves us Then we’ll go And we’ll linger Until the night falls Flooding the sidewalks Then we’ll go V2 We tried not to collide with the moment Wear it away like a photograph Yellow with time Young spring it can be fleeting we gather Holding the tones of our laughter Filling the room CH And we’ll linger Until the day dims Suddenly leaves us Then we’ll go And we’ll linger Until the night falls Flooding the sidewalks B Oh oh oh ohhhh Oh oh oh ohhhh Oh oh oh ohhhh CH And we’ll linger Until the day dims Suddenly leaves us Then we’ll go And we’ll linger Until the night falls Flooding the sidewalks Then we’ll go © The Woodlands

Can We Stay 03:49
CAN WE STAY V1 Moonlight streaming through Through the leaves onto you And your face all aglow I see what I had not known CH Can we stay here longer Can we stay until tomorrow Can we stay here forever V2 Pale rays forging through Through this unearthly view And so perilously Notions underneath agree CH Can we stay here longer Can we stay until tomorrow Can we stay here forever B Ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh CH Can we stay here longer Can we stay until tomorrow Can we stay here forever © The Woodlands

KING AND QUEEN V1 Won’t you lie here next to me We could try hardly to breathe You would be king, I the queen V2 Won’t you lie here in the dark Shadows in the attic we are Flicker of a candle a spark CH Oooh Oooh Ooooohhhh V3 Won’t you lie here on the sea We could float the foamy debris Fathom all the phantoms of blue-green V4 Won’t you lie here in the storm While the wind weathers our forms As the dust blows all the more CH Oooh Oooh Ooooohhhh V5 Won’t you lie here on the moon Sparkle in the silvery dunes Cradled in a bright white cocoon CH Oooh Oooh Ooooohhhh © The Woodlands

Day To Day 03:25
DAY TO DAY V1 Plans can fail People break I will move In the wind like the trees do CH Day to day Today Ohhh Day to day Today V2 Truth I have Held so dear Can’t be torn Easily from within me CH Day to day Today Ohhh Day to day Today V3 All I’ve held In the soil Of my soul Blossom here into beauty CH Day to day Today Ohhh Day to day Today B Ahhhhh Da Da Dadada Ahhhhh Da Da Dadada V4 Plans can fail People break © The Woodlands

Anymore 03:38
ANYMORE V1 You came to me crawling between Openings I couldn’t see Inviting me on broken knees Empty spaces begging me CH Anymore Anymore V2 Darkness sits I raise my head To glance outside where life is And I told you I would not go For what you do that I know CH Anymore Anymore Anymore Anymore V3 Rescued by a still small cry There is more that is mine I kissed that face I shut the door And I won’t have anymore CH Anymore Anymore Anymore Anymore V4 Rescued by a still small cry There is more that is mine I kissed that face I shut the door And I won’t have anymore CH Anymore Anymore Anymore Anymore © The Woodlands

Summerland 03:41
SUMMERLAND V1 I want to be Eating honey from your hand In the Summerland Can we run Through the grass and all the reeds And meet oh pretty please V2 And we will dance To the songs that plague our heads In the Summerland And we will speak Without saying anything Much of anything CH You know what I don’t About the Summerland Oh you know what I don’t About the Summerland V3 That old wind Rushing like it’s always been In the Summerland Once you have come Through the doors that look like trees There’s no returning CH You know what I don’t About the Summerland Oh you know what I don’t About the Summerland B Mmmm Mmmmm Oh Da da da da Mmmm Mmmmm Oh Da da da da V4 How strange it is To not recollect all that Life had ever been You cannot know How you came or how to go From the Summerland CH You know what I don’t About the Summerland Oh you know what I don’t About the Summerland B Mmmm Mmmmm Oh Da da da da Mmmm Mmmmm Oh Da da da da © The Woodlands

IN THE DARK ON MONDAY V1 Five in the morning On my bike in the dark on Monday My shoes are wet And the streets are too wet to be riding V2 Leaves glow orange One falls on my hand I don’t attempt removing it I soar through red lights Almost turning my head precariously One more block until I will have to stop CH What if I kept going I’ll keep going Just not knowing Where I’m going V3 My hat is worn low While squinting ahead in a blurred glow Twirling rectangular Sign flashes brightly the cold outside One more block until I will have to stop CH What if I kept going I’ll keep going Just not knowing Where I’m going V4 I reverse numbers Up there in my mind I am warmed inside I decide where I’d be If they were measured inaccurately One more block until I will have to stop CH What if I kept going I’ll keep going Just not knowing Where I’m going What if I kept going I’ll keep going Just not knowing Where I’m going V5 One more block until I will have to stop What if I kept going © The Woodlands

On The Waves 03:04
ON THE WAVES V1 You said it’s just the grey again But I know you have Been crying about the way That your life has been all the years CH On this ship and on the waves Whispered tears and cries of pain On this ship and in the wind Turning you around again On this ship and on the waves Fall inside disorder waits V2 You said it’s just the same again But I know you have Washed your hands of this To then revisit all the years CH On this ship and on the waves Whispered tears and cries of pain On this ship and in the wind Turning you around again On this ship and on the waves Fall inside disorder waits B Ohhh oh oh Ohhh oh oh ohhh Ohhh oh oh Ohhh oh oh ohhh CH2 Love is lost gone out to sea Surrender your final plea Save yourselves or you will be Swallowed up by the deep Love is lost gone out to sea Surrender your final plea Save yourselves or you will be Swallowed up by the deep © The Woodlands

ASLEEP IN SEPTEMBER V1 Asleep in September go Looming alongside its pulse Asleep although dawn has gone Dazed by day’s light dusk falls CH Awake to rise steady eyes Oh oh oh oh Awake to rise steady eyes Oh oh V2 Asleep while the timbers drop Crowding surrounded stir not Asleep though covered in thoughts Rustling forth from the dust CH Awake to rise steady eyes Oh oh oh oh Awake to rise steady eyes Oh oh oh oh Awake to rise steady eyes Oh oh © The Woodlands

THROUGH THE WINTER V1 Such light shines so bright Through the winter Stirring in the night Such light shines so far Through the winter When it is the dark CH Along the way Upon the way Ay hey Along the way Upon the way Ay hey V2 Such light finds me close Through the winter Underneath the cold Such light finds me here Through the winter Of the frozen year CH Along the way Upon the way Ay hey Along the way Upon the way Ay hey V3 Arrayed stark and vast Through the winter Where vacant days shall pass Behold crescent glow Through the winter Where barren blossoms grow CH Along the way Upon the way Ay hey Along the way Upon the way Ay hey © The Woodlands

"Gentle yet haunting, mysterious yet familiar, the music of the husband and wife duo The Woodlands is full of intrigue...One of our favorite up and coming bands!"
---SPIN


"Hannah muses about daydreams and longings while Samuel fills the sonic atmosphere with enchanting melodies."
---KCRW (Today's Top Tune)


"Serene mosaic of fairytale-like sound."
---CMJ


"This band could just as easily be a folk-pop duo from Stockholm or Liverpool, or even Berlin. It’s a trait that makes their music unique, and it makes it really, really good."
---FensePost


"The Woodlands album is absolutely an ethereal trip through some of the best indie folk pop you will find (or I have ever found)."
---Slowcoustic


"As soon as we listened we dug out our English dictionaries and started flipping desperately through them, looking for the right words to describe it. They had to be beautiful words, big words, words that hadn't been used before!"
---Letters Have No Arms!
