about

Paying homage to vintage rock stalwarts, Transmission Radio is a collision of two worlds where indie pop meets vintage classic rock and pop. Layers of surf, reggae, and choral arrangements make for a diverse array that hopefully leaves something for everyone. The song is purposely vague, but underneath the retro poppy timbre lies a consistent allusion to an internal quest for restitution with careful attention placed on morphing prior experiences in an effort to exorcise current demons and build toward the future.

lyrics

Looking out onto the pier
Shores come from heaven's light
Dissipates beyond the tideline
Glowing over a champagne night
You tell yourself you've always been here
A rendezvous within your mind
Clemency from austere windstorms
Is enough to silence our voices

We are counting on you..
To bring us out into
The Rain
We isolate
From all the frugal ideas
That we can't afford they're in vein
They're in a wake
For the shallow reminder
That words cannot always remain
*Enter Tom Counter Melody /Harmony
It's been quite a long time
Have you noticed the shore's light
It's been quite a long time
Wander toward the moonlight

A consciousness from night’s duress
Yearning for the sun’s caress
Outstretched hands in front of me
If I could only get to sleep
The nightmare finds me in heap
Emerging dawn begins to creep
As the umbrage starts to seep
Dive in the sea to finally breathe

We are counting on you..
To bring us out into
The Rain
We isolate
From all the frugal ideas
That we can't afford they're in vein
They're in a wake
For the shallow reminder
That words cannot always remain
It's been quite a long time
Have you noticed the shore's light
It's been quite a long time
Wander toward the moonlight
