Sorry for all your losses
But lives go on and you’ll get along just fine
Don’t be afraid of all you’ve not lived up to
If there is any question, it is best to not think twice,
You’ve done only what you can, you can only do what you can
It’s just a theory, that it is wiser, when to ourselves we can say:
You must leave these things behind you, leave these things behind you
Leave these things behind you, only if you can
But if you can’t, don’t, only if you can
Leave me behind you’ll be just fine
Leave these things behind you, only if you can
But if you can’t, don’t, only if you can

Baby.
Ooo, Baby.
Where have you gone? I loved you along.
It’s 3 AM again, Baby.
Why don’t you answer me?
Is it so bad to be to be my baby?
Where have you gone? I loved you all along.
Remember your poetry, Baby?
Down by the willow tree?
Yeah, when we danced cheek to cheek, my baby.
What have you done? You’re not the only one.
Now you’re so mean to, Baby
Or, is it reciprocity?
Why there’s no grace for me and my baby.
What have we done? We’re not the only ones.

a Light Sleeper Chicago, Illinois
Chicago’s a Light Sleeper is an ever-evolving quartet exploring collaborative composition from the bottom up, featuring breezy intertwining melodies from saxophonist Maria Elena Hernandez and violist Traci Newhouse, D. Pennepalli’s idiosyncratic guitar lines, and drummer Matthew Jung’s graceful clockwork core. ... more

Maria plays on this wonderful album, from Chicago's legendary "circus-punk" marching band Mucca Pazza!

This is Dave's long-running "prog-metal big band", featuring a revolving cast of some of Chicago's finest musicians -- including, on occasion, Traci and Maria!
