V1 Even if you asked me to I know I couldn’t - I couldn’t go through with it Walk away again Walk away in the end If all the years and all our youth Began to speak - to speak the truth well They would say They would say again CH I can’t stop loving you No I can’t stop loving you I can’t stop loving you Oh whoa I can’t stop loving you (I need to love you - I need to love you) V2 Even if we slip beneath A final moment - the moment to breathe well We will wait there We will wait until then And if the threads of time decay Unravel the nights and unravel our days We will stay oh We will stay to the end The end CH I can’t stop loving you No I can’t stop loving you (I need to love you - I need to love you) I can’t stop loving you Oh whoa I can’t stop loving you (I need to love you - I need to love you) REFRAIN Oh I need to love you ooh I need to love you whoa I need to love you (3x) V3 Even if we slip beneath A final moment - the moment to breathe well We will wait there We will wait until then The end REFRAIN I need to love you whoa oh I need to love you I need to love you (3x) CH I can’t stop loving you No I can’t stop loving you (I need to love you - I need to love you) I can’t stop loving you Oh whoa I can’t stop loving you (I need to love you - I need to love you)

V1 These years are softly spinning Go slow as the days are falling all around Buried in the ground Our memory is just beginning Go slow these nights are falling to the ground Stop and watch the clouds (oh whoa) CH All I know - love is a stone All I know - love is a stone (oh whoa oh) REFRAIN Nah nah nah Nah nah nah nah nah (2x) Ooh whoa V2 Your fears are the fears that I’m chasing My tears are the tears that you’re tasting in the dark Try to figure out the stars (ooh whoa) Your hopes are the hopes that I carry We hold them close they were stolen once before So we guard them like their ours (ooh whoa) CH All I know - love is a stone (oh whoa oh) All I know - love is a stone (oh whoa whoa oh) OUTRO Nah nah nah Nah nah nah nah nah (2x)

V1 I want to go to a place that I’ve never been I’ve never been I feel the push and the pull and I’m starting to bend Starting to bend I think I know of a place that I haven’t been I haven’t been I wonder where do I start I’ll begin at the end Begin at the end CH Going out of my head Going out of my head Going out of my head (2x) V2 I want to feel like the wind and my body will lift Body will lift Softer than all the light in the palm of my hand Palm of my hand I want to feel like the dark like I’m floating within Floating within My mind has opened afar and I’m letting it drift I’m letting it drift (letting it drift) CH Going out of my head Going out of my head Going out of my head (I’m letting it drift) (6x)

V1 I can’t - can’t get you out of my mind I think - I think I’m gonna go blind I see ten thousand shards of light All of the time I sleep I dream I wake to find You rearrange my thoughts in rhyme You radiate I ignite Space and time CH Bang bang I can’t shake you off now Never gonna shake you off no I’m going out of my mind Going out of my out of my mind ooh ooh (2x) Bang bang I can’t shake you off now Never gonna shake you off no I’m going out of my mind I’m going out of my mind ooh ooh (2x) REFRAIN Can’t shake you off Bang bang Can’t shake you off I can’t can’t can’t shake you off I can’t can’t can’t can’t V2 Where’d this kaleidoscope begin You take the light and make it bend Just like a prism in my hand Feel it spin So many colors they expand I try so hard to understand How hearts can float so high within Without end CH Bang bang I can’t shake you off now Never gonna shake you off no I’m going out of my mind Going out of my out of my mind ooh ooh Bang bang I can’t shake you off now Never gonna shake you off no I’m going out of my mind I’m going out of my mind ooh ooh (2x)

V1 I don’t ever want to forget about you I will never lose your face I don’t ever want to forget about you You and I are fate CH Still I stand here swaying with the trees I can hear them whispering to me All my years are written in the leaves Through my veins run the secrets that they keep V2 Light refracted into the mist of memory Shifting softly day after day I remember life as an allegory Shadows taking shape CH Still I stand here swaying with the trees I can hear them whispering to me All my years are written in the leaves Through my veins run the secrets that they keep REFRAIN And still I stand here Yeah I can hear them Oh all my years are Yeah through my veins run V3 Time has intertwined all the things that I knew Love can feel the same as pain I surrender hold they can both be made new We are all the same REFRAIN And still I stand here Yeah I can hear them Oh all my years are Yeah through my veins run CH Still I stand here swaying with the trees I can hear them whispering to me All my years are written in the leaves Through my veins run the secrets that they keep Through my veins run the secrets that they keep

about

We have been giving you tastes of new songs along the way, and now the full album is finally here! We were thinking about what the title of this album should be, and even though these songs have a lot of different muses, the singular theme that kept emerging was love. But not just love of the sentimental variety. We kept talking about the idea of the multiplicity of love, and how it can be a contradiction. We pulled at the thread of that thought, and somewhere along the way we said that love seemed like a stone.

Sometimes you can feel love so deeply that it aches like pain. Solid, yet crushing. Crystalline, yet opaque. Strong, yet prone to crumble and blow away. It is both given and withheld, sought and hidden. In all of its different shapes, love is what people remember of being alive. Essential, primal, eternal - yet also ethereal, floating, shape-shifting and wild. These paradoxes make love a mystery that we know and crave and fear in the architecture of our souls.

We approached this album a bit differently than we have in the past, experimenting with some different instruments and production. We took some risks and we gave our hearts to the process. Most of it took place over some seasons of hibernation in the woods where we live. What emerged is a collection of stones, and we hope they shine.
