1.	Shift: Midnight 04:01	lyrics	buy track
I recall it all when I first saw that look on your face. I was in a hole and my soul was in a dark place. I was running low on luck, a little short on grace. With nothing left to lose, we both could use a change of pace. We believe that we can feel better than this. We both know that it's the end of all of this. I can feel your heart drop when you're close to me. Sad for now and sad for all the things you thought it'd be. We believe that we can feel better than this. We both know that it's the end of all of this. I can feel the shift. I can feel the shift. I can feel the shift in you, the shift in the me. The air around is thick. We both know there's nothing left to be fixed. I'm not looking to save us; no, I believe we've had our time. But I'm not looking to break us down so much that we both feel denied. I'm not looking to make us into something we've already tried. I'm just looking to take with me all the love I've had throughout our ride.

about

After three albums delivering heavy, horn-driven, crowd-pleasing funk and soul to stages across the Pacific Northwest, Jonny Sonic and the Phenomenensemble release SHIFT, which demonstrates a new studio vibe for the band. With four stylistically differing takes on one beautiful break-up song, SHIFT foregoes the usual angst and heartache common in songs about broken relationships and instead explores a palette of varying complex emotions of separation. The lyrical perspective is a gracious voice that's more thankful for time well spent than spiteful about love gone wrong.
