Bittersweet 03:51
Just south of Ryde there’s a place I like to hide it’s not hard to find but I know it’s always empty so dark inside, it’s like you died but you’re still drinking never mind the vibe, it’s a place to start scheming Just you and me dancing and free all we can be Let’s make our dreams real You know how I feel, don’t take it away leave it to me Million dollar play, we get out and we get even all I need is Jade, she’s the eyes I need to see through don’t turn away, don’t turn the lights out baby it’s the only way, now I know I can’t live without you Just you and me dancing and free all we can be Let’s make our dreams real You know how I feel, don’t take it away leave it to me I heard she got away, took it all up to Reno blew it in a day, sounds like something we’d do everyday’s the same, Iike to say I’ve changed I’d do it all again, if it meant being with you Just you and me dancing and free all we can be Let’s make our dreams real You know how I feel, don’t take it away now I can breathe

Up The River 04:08
One of these days they might find me lying face down in a ditch you’ll never know what an angel will bring you you’ll never know what the plan is Don’t sell me up the river, don’t tell me that I’m through One of these days I might finally make it then I’ll mail you a “told you so” you don’t have to follow your feelings sometimes you just gotta let go Don’t sell me up the river, don’t tell me that I’m through Hey you’ll never find me, hey and you’ll never win One of these days I’ll get lazy leave a breadcrumb for the fools one of these days I’ll get lonely Try to get too close to you Don’t sell me up the river, don’t tell me that I’m through Hey you’ll never find me, hey and you’ll never win And I feel like I finally found you and I feel like I finally know you and I feel like a son never runs if he runs then he’s done Hey you’ll never find me, hey but you’ll never win

History 03:27
All these years you never knew what made you think that I was through it doesn’t matter to me that’s the way it should be Every time I see your eyes reflected there are my lies it doesn’t matter to me that’s the way it should be All those times I could barely see There you were right in front of me The rest is history, don’t walk out on me All these wasted words we spew come back to haunt us as the truth it doesn’t matter to me that’s the way it should be I’m done running through the wind I’ll never be as fast as them it doesn’t matter to me that’s the way it should be All those times I could barely see There you were right in front of me The rest is history, don’t walk out on me

Halloween 04:35
Your fantasy gives me a reason your reverie tells me the future when you walk away the stars go with you and all that’s left behind is a dark, empty sky Your diary, it leaves out the good parts your promises, they don’t believe you You may look away, but the mirror won’t forget you The sun will shine again, but our house is shuttered Halloween, heals me, Halloween, heals me You’re never free from your secrets your darkest dreams, they’re no different when you run away, you’ll find the light shining in a field of scarecrows and your demons Halloween, heals me, Halloween, heals me Halloween, hears me, Halloween, leads me and it burns and it burns and it burns and it burns so bright Halloween heals me, Halloween heals me

I see you all the time, you roam the inside of my mind I never really said goodbye, I closed the door walked away I don’t feeling like dancing anymore I never wanted it this way, locked away inside my brain I look through bars at your smile, I’ll touch your face again I don’t feel like dancing anymore I don’t feel like dancing anymore… I don’t feel right

So Excited 02:53
I’m so excited to be invited to a party that wants someone like me So excited to tell my story to see the look of hatred in your eyes All I want is to see you again, but I know that you’ll never be there I’m so excited to be invited, I feel so honored to feel like I fit in Yeah I know, it’s all for show, welcome back but stay away from me All I want is to see you again, but I know that you’ll never be there And you know that I wanna see her, but I know I’ll never get in Yeah I know everybody sends your best Yeah I know everybody sends your best And I know that I gotta get outta here but I can’t leave without you alive or dead I’m so excited to leave behind everybody I never wanted to like I’m so excited, so exited, so excited

It doesn’t matter what you say, everybody gonna take you on they take a look at where you’re from, they think they know you but they’re wrong all they see’s your life from barstools and cars they don’t know how hard you try well it doesn’t matter what you do, nobody gonna give you a break it’s all or nothing in this town, might as well just burn it down you may think you’re life is over, but you don’t have to pick that fight pick it up, take it easy pick it up and take the high road It doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter what you do Doesn’t matter what side you’re on, you’re always looking inside out you got your pride you’re never wrong, nobody gonna put you down they may think you’re just another drunk, they don’t know how far you fell so pick it up, take it easy pick it up and take the high road It doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter what you do

Broken Radio 04:33
Turned on the TV, saw you on the news again I know it’s not always your fault I know you woke up in the same clothes again I heard you crying through the wall We’re gonna go riding again Everybody says you’re high again They just love to watch you fall But when you pick up that guitar and sing You turn us all inside out When it’s all over and done with you just want to go home and start over again Our radio is always broken but your songs they still come through well I know I can’t fix you but I can’t let you in When it’s all over and done with you just want to go home and start over again We’re gonna go riding again… When it’s all over and done with you just want to go home and start over again

about

This is Bitterwind's third album. This is a collection of eight songs loosely based upon a noirish screenplay idea set in the Sacramento Delta about a character that just can't seem to get it right. Bitterwind is the side project of Dana Berry from Night Herons. He was assisted by his bandmates, Lawrence Huene and Mike Assenzio.

All of these “releases” are completely independent and as such basically unknown by the general public. They are labors of love for all the musicians involved and give us fulfillment rather than compensation. If you can, share and support indie artists, not so they can live on what they would make anyway, but it’s a real boost to get a “like” or a “cha-ching” on Bandcamp. Thanks!
