Is there more I could have said? Now they're only pictures in my head That's why my green is feeling grey Sometimes even frogs have rainy days Remember when the tent caved in when we were camping out? Who'd have thought a night like that would be hard to live without... If we could do it all again Just another chance to watch the rain Would you hold my hand or even care? Or did something break we can't repair? The feeling of you next to me me, it always gave me hope and how you always stood by me, even when i was a dope Is there more more i could have said? Now you're only pictures in my head Could we do it all again? Make each other laugh like we did then I guess we haven't laughed in quite a while Man, what I wouldn't give to see you smile But I'm standing here instead Now you're only pictures in my head

Glory Days 02:59
Please don't say that our glory days are through oh please don't say that there's no more me and you i've been dreaming of a world where our lives are never parted now it's seeming our adventure may just end before it's started when we're old, how many stories will we share? and when they're told, will we both be standing there? yes we've already seen so much together, it's true but please don't say our glory days are through

Blackbird 02:41
blackbird singin' in the dead of night take these broken wings and learn to fly all your life you were only waiting for this moment to arise blackbird singin' in the dead of night take these sunken eyes and learn to see all your life you were only waiting for this moment to be free blackbird, fly blackbird, fly blackbird, fly... into the light of a cold dark night blackbird singin' in the dead of night take these broken hearts and learn to love all your life you've been only waiting for this moment from above blackbird, fly blackbird, fly blackbird, fly in to the light of a cold dark night

I Try 03:27
games, changes and fears when will they go from here when will they stop I believe that fate has brought us here and we should be together babe but we're not I play it off, but I'm dreaming of you And I'll keep my cool, but I'm feelin' I try to say goodbye and I choke try to walk away and I stumble though I try to hide it, it's clear my world crumbles when you are not near I try to say goodbye and I choke try to walk away and I stumble though I try to hide it, it's clear my world crumbles when you are not near I may appear to be free but I'm just a prisoner baby a prisoner of your love of your love and I may seem all right and smile when you leave but my smiles are just a front I play it off, but I'm dreaming of you And I'll try to keep my cool, but I'm feelin' I try to say goodbye and I choke try to walk away and I stumble though I try to hide it, it's clear my world crumbles when you are not near I try to say goodbye and I choke try to walk away and I stumble though I try to hide it, it's clear my world crumbles when you are not near oh here is my confession may i be your possession girl I need your touch your love and kisses and such and with all my might i try but this i can't deny oh i can't deny, no I try to say goodbye and I choke try to walk away and I stumble though I try to hide it, it's clear my world crumbles when you are not near I try to say goodbye and I choke try to walk away and I stumble though I try to hide it, it's clear my world crumbles when you are not near

there will be many other nights like this and I'll be standing there with someone new there will be other songs to sing another fall, another spring but there will never be another you there will be other lips that I may kiss and theirs won't thrill me like yours used to do say I may dream a million dreams and none of them come true if there will never ever be another you
9.
you are feeling blue and I know because i'm feeling it to I feel so afraid of letting you know and of letting you go in theory the answer's always clear but now we've got big intervals the next chord feels so far away from here your note is different from mine and that's fine we've each got our parts but we we can still sing sing our notes together let our hearts ring well maybe right now you and I we feel like secondary dominants our tensions are so prominent hey, but where do we resolve so baby tell me why if we both have a choice how to lead our voice this progression is ours to solve let not devolve sometimes a song can make us sad make us feel angry blue or mad sometimes we want to turn the record off (don't lose faith) but when the harmony is right we can sing along all night when we know our parts, our hearts are warm and soft you aren't secondary to me it's easy to see you're the one my love you are the root, you're my home key if we modulate, you'll still be the one my love talvez agora voce e eu cinto como dominantes secundarios nosso movimento e ambiguous nosso relacionmento nao e claro ha uma manera se ficarmos no tecla podemos faze um musica podemos encontrar amor that's what partners are for sometimes that song we used to share isn't playing anywhere and it feels that the song is gone for good but we can make a song that's new that fits both our voices too and when we sing the words, we'll both feel understood you aren't a secondary to me yeah it's easy to see you're the one you're my love you are the root your'e my home key and if we modulate you'll still be the one my love you're the one oh you're my love, yeah you're my one joana, you're my love you aren't a secondary to me it's so easy to see you're the one you're my love you're my love you're my love you're my love

about

Applesauce can be sweet, bitter, and even bittersweet, but it is best when shared with someone you love.

"Applesauce" is the first solo release from Adam Lessnau, a New Orleans-based musician who, when not in the grip of a global pandemic, can be found shouting loudly on the street. Normally a trombone and tuba player, Adam has self-described this album of mostly solo guitar and singing as "additional therapy".
