It has been our plan for some time to begin writing again. LVEO has always improvised for a good portion of our sessions, and we've allowed ourselves to just let the muses take over and cherish the present moment - only to let these new creations simply disintegrate into the ether. It has become a useful practice that has enabled the band to play with different interests, directions, and members. At the same time, this ongoing habit has helped us to integrate our individual talents into a single vibration. This is really what LVEO has become and we are excited to begin to capture this on tape.

We are thankful for our friend Cyrus, who has helped us record some of this improv - which is the first step of our writing plan. After capturing this raw expression, the next step is to listen closely, then re-work, polish and expand on the tune without loosing the original feel and raw emotion.  If all goes well, you'll get to hear new tunes at shows and more polished recordings.  We'll see how it goes...

Funny that the first tune we captured has evolved into an anthem for just this...  To our future!  VIVA LVEO!

Lyrics for "Cross Over" by LVEO

Cross Over

left you there
with everything in the air
flying...
light strings past my window
and i accelerate
to get away
... the lights grow longer

***
... longer
you should figure this
will be our last communication
with a long stretch between
destinations
roll back the roof
and feel the moon
dancing on those strings
from the boom
... from a room
... from a boom... ahhh

***

I can smell the sweet air
it's thick up here
and I've worn the city treads
down off my tires
and I just keep driving
higher
and i just keep taking us
higher
our  thoughts of old
are going lower
thoughts of old
growing farther
our thoughts are new
thoughts, thoughts, thoughts...
thoughts of new
thoughts of new...

***

I see you the mirror
and hear your sweet old voice say
remember me
remember what you will
remember what you might
remember when we're good
remember that we're tight
remember what we say
remember what we do
remember this song is
given to the new
remember this song
remember this song
remember this song
