Blake Brown is an American singer-songwriter from Denver, Colorado.
After participating in many collaborative projects, Blake Brown formed The American
Dust Choir. His idea was to have the flexibility of playing solo, as a duo (with his wife
Tiffany), and in various incarnations including a revolving cast of musician friends when
they were able to join him. The American Dust Choir includes friends and musicians of
some well-known groups such as The Fray, The Films, and Tennis. The line-up has since
galvanized and includes mainstays Tiffany Brown (keyboard/vocals), Adam Blake
(drums), Jason Legler (bass), and Trent Nelson (guitar). The band released its debut full
length LONG WAY HOME in March 2018 and has been playing shows in support since.
Brown’s music is rooted in acoustic sounds, and characterized by his seemingly simple,
but nuanced, melodies and heartfelt lyrics. Marked by a surprisingly captivating
subtleness, Brown’s music and stage presence leaves audiences with something to
think about and always wanting more.
Following the release of LONG HOME WAY, the band performed multiple official
showcases at SXSW 2018 in Austin, Texas, including an official showcase at the
legendary Stubb’s Waller Creek Amphitheater supporting Keith Urban. Following
SXSW, Brown went on the road supporting Justin Townes Earle in May as an
acoustic duo.
Blake Brown & the American Dust Choir will be performing for the summer festival
season while preparing for dates in the Fall, including festival appearances,
and more dates in the Midwest. Blake and band will also be returning
to the studio with drummer of The Fray, Ben Wysocki as Producer in preparation for
new music to be released in early 2019.
Lyrics:
I woke up in the sea It washed over me I mapped it out, but it sucked me back down I woke up and the sky had crushed down and I I woke up with a knife in my back, but got back up to fight They said get out, get out, while you can Get out, get out, you better take my hand I slept through the night, and saw the stars inside They revealed every truth and every lie I slept through the night, and the moon well it spoke It held that knife to my throat and said, You dont always get for what you hoped. They said get out, get out, while you can Get out, get out, you better take my handLyrics:
It was an accidental love we stumbled on Youre my saving grace Ive been shined upon It was an accidental love Some say mistake, but Im saving those for another day It was an accidental love Never meant to hurt no one When push comes to shove You cant choose who you love It was an accidental love Some say mistake, but Im saving those for another dayLyrics:
You laugh with those eyes Your kiss feels like knives I wanna get me one Need to get me some These walls like to laugh At all that we have, and dont This aint no joke But everyones laughin The suns shining down on them Sirens sing sweetly Oh, love believe me Well build from the bottom And rise to the top Love those seeds, baby Rich is your crop This aint no joke But everyones laughin And the suns shining down on themLyrics:
Making up for lost time You go your way, and I'll go mine Can you hear the shake of my rattled rib cage? There's nothing worse than lost days that are laughing away So say it now, if you got something to say Please stop shake, shake, shakin' 'Cause you're break, break, breakin' me down There's no need for apology That time and place has worn its face, and worn itself inside out Can you still hear the shake of my rattled rib cage? Please stop shake, shake, shakin' 'Cause you're break, break, breakin' me down Oh baby won't you hold me tightly Oh baby won't you rock me sound Oh baby won't you hold me tightlyLyrics:
We got dreams Cant take mine away from me We got hope Hangin by a wire Im on my knees Beggin that you see me The ghost of my past Hes just a liar Watch this spark turn to fire Caught in the eye of the storm It wont leave me alone Spinning out of control So take my hand Ill here where you stand We got dreams Stiches splittin at the seams I got hope Burning like a fire Im on my knees Begggin that you see me The ghost of my past Hes just a liar Let her eyes catch that fire Caught in the eye of the storm It wont leave me alone Spinning out of control So take my hand Ill here where you stand Put your arms around me baby We cant keep runnin, just keep on runnin Just keep on runnin.Lyrics:
We got dreams Cant take mine away from me We got hope Hangin by a wire Im on my knees Beggin that you see me The ghost of my past Hes just a liar Watch this spark turn to fire Caught in the eye of the storm It wont leave me alone Spinning out of control So take my hand Ill here where you stand We got dreams Stiches splittin at the seams I got hope Burning like a fire Im on my knees Begggin that you see me The ghost of my past Hes just a liar Let her eyes catch that fire Caught in the eye of the storm It wont leave me alone Spinning out of control So take my hand Ill here where you stand Put your arms around me baby We cant keep runnin, just keep on runnin Just keep on runnin.Lyrics:
I couldnt run far enough away Where would I go Where would I stay I couldnt run far enough away I couldnt break every promise I made When it all comes crushing down And back around I want you by my side When we cross that finish line Oh my lover dont you hold me under Wont you lift me up All you need is love Or so they say I couldnt run far enough away I couldnt break every promise we made When weve finally circle round And found the tracks Ill meet you at that line Baby time is on our side Oh my lover dont you hold me under Wont you lift me up All you need is love Or so they sayLyrics:
If theres an answer let it be known If theres a light let it be shown For all the hope that we had, the winds have blown These old dark roads aint feelin like home Cheers to a year on the day of our death I covered that hole, but your ghost still dances round it For all the hope that we had, the winds have blown But brightest blue skies show you aint alone Tell me that youll see me through Every bended knee for you Tell me that youll see me through Every folded hand for youLyrics:
Come put out the fire Break these fever dreams cast upon me So wake me up Shake me up Ive worked these fingers to dust trying to dig my way back up Oh my lady in white You say, its time, cmon lets ride. So wake me up Shake me up Up and out Break of dawn A head full of old haunts I wait for you Theres nothing that I wouldnt do I wait for you Let the light shine throughLyrics:
Come put out the fire Break these fever dreams cast upon me So wake me up Shake me up Ive worked these fingers to dust trying to dig my way back up Oh my lady in white You say, its time, cmon lets ride. So wake me up Shake me up Up and out Break of dawn A head full of old haunts I wait for you Theres nothing that I wouldnt do I wait for you Let the light shine throughLyrics:
Ill sway and youll sway I think weve danced this dance before Side step We step Spin, dip, and a bow I cant keep up anymore Sleep well Sleep sound Goodnight and goodbye I wont make a sound I wont make a sound Ill whisper bits of the truth If you can put the clues together Ill say, what Ill say You can believe whichever weather Sleep well Sleep sound Goodnight and goodbye I wont make a sound I wont make a soundLyrics:
I awaken feeling like a desert rose And were waiting on something that no one knows I had it but I lost it Found and I caught it Our dreams have all been burning Like the liars and their burdens Were just up in arms Lets take the long way home Sing me every song you know We are risin feeling like a restless wind And were begging for somewhere that someones been The walls have all been fallin Our knees are bruised from crawlin Taking, but not giving The howling hounds are stealing Were just up in arms, again Lets take the long way home Sing me every song you know Lets take the long way homeLyrics:
I can hear your heart achin I can see you mistaken my arms For another mans arms I can hear your heart achin I can see you mistaken my love For another mans love You just wont back down this time And you wont get back in line I can see your heart healin I can see youve been stealing the love Of another loves love I can see your heart healin I can see youve been thievin around this town Cause you wont back down You just wont back down this time And you wont get back in lineLyrics:
Come in Weve been waiting for you Gotta get this restless heart peace Place your hands in mine, and this time The lines we draw wont be the lines we cross I just cant take this livin without you Every word I heard I knew was true Stay out Til you calm down No shakin in your skin, no lock between your ribs just say, now Place your hands in mine this time The lines we draw wont be the lines we cross I just cant take this livin without you Every word I heard I knew was trueLyrics:
Lift me up Dont hold me under Got lighting veins Got a rollin thunder Rollin in Rollin out Got lightening veins And I wont back down Every time the wind blows It calls your name Every time the tide turns Its washed away I can hear you callin and callin I can hear you and all them Im all in I can hear you callin Lift me up Dont hold me under Let lightning break Sing to me lover Rollin in Rollin out When the light breaks through Well come back downLyrics:
Give me your hands Give me your life lines Give me your young days and the ones I could never take away Give me your sunshine Melt away every little lie Give me back every broken try I wont leave you I wont leave you waitin I wont leave you in the morning light Give me your cold hands Give me your every broken plan Give me your old days and the ones I could never take away Give me your darkness Give me your deepest, darkest night Give me your every lost fight I wont leave you I wont leave you waitin I wont leave you in the morning light
