See Clearly 02:10
I can’t defeat these walls around me I’ll find I won’t In time I won’t I can’t complete this feeling Besides I won’t In time I hope That when I’m all alone and think I’ve worked it out That only you and I would have to talk it out Instead of being all alone and in my doubt We lost our honestly, I think I tossed it away I can’t pretend this isn’t me All I want is to see clearly
2.
Waiting 03:15
I think I wanna stop and wait I think I’d rather sit around all day I wanna see your face But the distance between us is getting in the way What were we thinking We’ve only ever lived in two different states I guess Ill take the train But I’m usually alone, awake and wondering Waiting for life to start for things be complete When everyone wants you down When everyone is only thinking of themselves not once putting anyone before themselves I won’t stop waiting For everyone to chill out for everyone to stop and look around I think we should stop and wait I never really thought that I would need some space But I’ll drop everything, I can’t sit around and find my place When everyone wants you down When everyone is only thinking of themselves not once putting anyone before themselves I can’t stop waiting For everyone to chill out everyone to stop and look around

Out of Place 03:44
I thought about talking it out But what’s the point you’re not around I thought about talking it out But I can’t get a hold of you and You don’t even listen close enough So I wont be the right one to try and reach you now But I’ll be the only one I’ll be right there when you fall I’ll be the lonely one The one who waits for your call The one who, who will wait around I thought about talking it out But I can’t even get to you so I won’t be the right one anymore Because we don’t think the same way and I’m so out of place I’ll be the only one I’ll be right here when you fall I’ll be the lonely one The one who waits for your call You say that you’re changed now But what are you living for Don’t expect me to calm down Look what you’re letting go (I’ll be the one I’ll be the one to wait for you I’ll be the one I’ll be the one to wait) You say you’ve changed now But what are you living for I know it’s hard now But there could be so much more
4.
Take off your shoes and make yourself at home Help yourself out and let everything go You know you want to you know you want to now Won’t you calm down Let it out we can talk it out but you won’t slow it down and now the room starts the room starts spinning around It’s a waste when we both choke up on every word but you say that’s okay the world keeps spinning the world keeps spinning away You’re finding your way out now You’re finding your way Keep going your own way now As the car pass I think to my how long will this last As my thoughts pass I know I’ll never move to fast
5.
I’ll wait for the air to change So I can go outside and burry my feelings This ice will melt the sky’s will fall Each day is getting shorter I can’t get handle it all, There hasn’t been emotion this fall Each day is getting shorter I can’t handle it all I’ll wait for the snow to fall So I can ignore your phone calls And I’ll wait for the weather Maybe it will make me feel better When they fall down When they fall down
6.
This Pattern 03:51
Everyone around me seems to stop and think about Every little thing that didn’t happen quite like they wanted instead of trying Everyone around me really needs to figure out Why they can’t stop wanting someone else’s life Instead of just being happy with what they got But I do it too in no way am I any better than you How could I have let this happen I do it too I wanna find a way out of this pattern I do I just wanna be myself And that’s not the way that I wanna be so I’ll stop You can’t help but notice everyone around you doesn’t seem to be paying attention But I do it too in no way am I and better than you How could I have let this happen I do it too I wanna find a way out of this pattern I do I just wanna be myself And that’s not the way that I wanna be so I’ll stop Don’t think about me that no Don’t think about me strange Don’t think about me that way no Don’t make me to blame "And we’ll l travel so far away, that I will, never come back to this place" -Erik Brennan <3 But I do it too in no way am I and better than you How could I have let this happen I do it too I wanna find a way out of this pattern I do I just wanna be myself And that’s not the way that I wanna be so I’ll cut it out

Freeport 03:57
Let’s talk it out What are you scared about You could come on down Or I could go up because We’re only a train ride away you said We’re only a train ride away We are only a train ride away You keep forgetting that you and I are in different states Over a FaceTime you looked at yourself crying You told me you stopped lying and finally see right I couldn’t believe that you wouldn’t tell me what you needed from me instead you started to say that We’re only a train ride away We are only a train ride away But we can’t forget what we said It’s time to find ourselves, grow up and go our own way You could come down Or I could go on up Let’s avoid this You keep forgetting you’re 300 miles away You never ask me to because you want me to You have that look in your eyes From when we started out You never ask me to because you want me to You have that look in your eyes When we started out

Bitter 03:02
Well maybe this nights not as good as you wish it were And maybe this buzz won't stop you from feeling hurt But you go out anyway But this nights is coming to a bittersweet end you look at me and you said It's in your head it's in your head I see that look in your eyes It looks like I left again Well it’s a bitter sweat end It’s bitter sweat You might be feeling all alone but it’s really all because it’s another bitter sweat end it’s just a bitter sweet When you’re all alone, and it’s all been said and done is it a bitter sweat end? Is it a bitter sweet? When you’re driving home and there's no one the roads, it's a bittersweet end it’s a bittersweet end
9.
Hollis 00:35
You're pretty good.
10.
Let’s go I don’t wanna be here anyway I know you don’t even want me here anyway You say you think you’ll find the time but I know that it’s just not right it won’t be real life but I know You can keep on saying that you will be around Didn’t want to let you down and that’s on me cause I don’t know what to say I know you don’t even want me anyway If I go you wouldn’t even notice anything You say you think you’ll find the time but I know that it’s just not right it won’t be real life but I know You can keep on saying that you will be around Didn’t want to let you down and that’s on me cause I don’t know what to say So we both just walk away Empathy where’d you go Honesty where’d you go Can’t believe the come and go Caught beneath the undertow Sanity where’d you go Clarity don’t know Can’t believe the come and go Caught beneath the undertow

Lilac 03:59
You’re sinking deeper now Into thoughts of someone else And you finally feel it You’re sinking deeper now You think it’s hard to tell But you finally feel it you finally feel it now Forget about the feeling now You have so much to live for But you finally feel it you finally it now It’s not the same as it once way or even relatively close and if keeps on moving this way I’m gonna have to say I’ll go I know it’s harsh but come on now Too bad, so sad your always finding ways around the words and situations that you tell me now But I know Your sinking deeper now Into thoughts of someone else I hope you finally feel it I hope you can’t believe yourself Forget about the feeling now You have so much to live for I hope you finally feel like that It’s not the same as it once way or even relatively close and if keeps on moving this way I’m gonna have to say I’ll go I know it’s harsh but come on now Too bad, so sad your always finding ways around the words and situations that you tell me now But I know I won’t change your mind But I know you’ll never think I’m right I know it’s hard your always finds ways around you’re always thinking of yourself never putting anyone before yourself

about

Jonesing is back? After a long hiatus we have decided to release a record that has been in the works since Dad Jokes. There were many points in time that none of us thought this record would ever be released. But with a lot of encouragement from friends and engineers at Kennedy Studios this record became a reality.

Something that is so special about this album is the amount of people that became a part of it. Jonesing has never been taken too seriously and thats the way that we like it. To us it has always had this sense of community around it due to all of our amazing friends who also play music. So what we decided to do was invite as many friends as possible to sing on tracks of this album. It meant so much to us keeping that sense of community alive all these years later.

It would also be good to mention that this album was not written or recorded in any traditional way what so ever. Actually the only song that we wrote together was Bitter back in 2015. Most of the songs were fleshed out and demo'd by Evan and Brian, then they were put onto a private Soundcloud link where Chris would hear the songs, usually for the first time. He would then listen and learn the songs and come up with melodies while at work. He would write melodies then walk to the bathroom to record a voice memo of it so he wouldn't forget them. After writing the melodies Chris recorded a majority of the vocals with Nick Finestone in Salem. So for the most part we didn't write or record this album together at all and if thats not Jonesing I dont know what is.

In the beginning of the song Freeport Chris says, "So everyday I cant help but have a thought. A thought I know isn't always true but I cant help but see it, its everywhere I go, its in everything. I try to look past it but it just seems to be getting worse. This feeling that no one around me is even really paying attention, stuck inside this rollercoaster of a movie we all play a lead in, than I realize, the same goes for me."

This album was created with a beautiful mix of people. The instrumentation was recorded at Kennedy Studios in Burlington Ma. The vocals were recorded with Nick Finestone in Salem Ma. Kennedy then finished up with production giving it every ounce of love it needed. Finally it was mastered by Brian McNiff and put out to the world. Thank you to everyone who helped make this happen.
