Between Here and There

Johnny Isaacs The problem with music today is we have access to all music, literally everything that's ever been recorded, good and terrible. I truly believe if Sarah was born 50 years ago, her music would be looked at like Dylan, Lennon and all the greats. She should be a household name that everyone knows. One of the best lyricists I've ever heard. These aren't just a hooky beat with a one line forgettable chorus. She's an incredible vocalist who sings in her voice, not a put-on, singing in autotune!

rpfs2691 The first track to be released is a perfect example of why one should try to obtain the full Sarah Morris collection. Sarah paints an incredibly recognisable picture of how life feels at times - in clever lyrics, and set to a good tune, and all performed with skill and dedication.

alanlewis “Between Here and There” is my introduction to Sarah Morris’s recording catalog. It presents her pretty voice as clear, true, expressive, and flexible. Favorite track? It’s early; but probably “Be With You” with Andrew Foreman, possibly “Hold Me Now” with Graham Bramblett. Compare any of these four recordings to Morris’s part in Reina del Cid’s video of the rock classic, “One Fine Day,” originally a hit for The Chiffons, to get an idea of Morris’s versatility as a singer (RdC’s, too). Favorite track: Be With You (with Andrew Foreman).

Spring came early this year Or came late, I can’t tell Oh, I hardly know what day it is anyway You could hold a calendar in front of my face I’d press my finger to some square Declare with confidence “It’s this one! Maybe?” There’s a weirdness And a wildness And a heaviness To every moment Lately But I feel a little comfort Knowing you probably feel these same things, too So even if we’re far apart I can still be with you The weeks are flying by The hours just limping along My heart can’t settle on a song To fit the mood I’m in Which is a restlessness like I’ve never known I’ve paced each inch of my kitchen floor though My doors aren’t locked And there’s an open road if I had The inclination There’s a bitterness, but a sweetness, too And a darkness And a light that finds me Daily But I feel a little comfort Knowing you probably feel these same things, too So even if we’re far apart I can still be with you I’m not sleeping well, so I’m rarely awake But I end each night with a prayer for strength And the wisdom to take This time, this space To root down Trust someday I will bloom out Again But I feel a little comfort Knowing you probably feel these same things, too So even if we’re far apart I can still I can still Feel a little comfort Knowing you probably feel these same things, too So even if we’re far apart I can still I can still Be with you

Between here and there Between now and then There’s a wide plain And a deep canyon There are oceans vast There are mountains high There are forests thick with ancient pines And it’s a lot to see through It’s a lot to look past It’s a lot to take in It’s a lot to ask And it’s almost, maybe too much to hold I know Between right and wrong Between weak and strong There are infinite ways To shade in gray There is ‘chin-up proud’ and There are caving shoulders There are stones you throw And then there are boulders And it’s a lot to carry It’s a lot to move The wisdom you gain And the plenty you’ll lose And it’s almost, maybe, too much to hold I know I know Does it make it any better Does it make it any worse Finding brand new words For these age-old hurts Any certainty we muster Is only for show and The story’s the same wherever you go Between won’t and will Between storm and still There is howling fear And quiet brilliance There is darkest night And morning bright From gold and blue Intertwined And it’s almost blinding And it’s hard to hear And the questions keep coming And the answer’s right there And it’s almost, maybe, too much to hold I know I know Does it make it any better Does it make it any worse Finding brand new words For these age-old hurts Any certainty we muster Is only for show and The story’s the same wherever you go And it’s a lot to see through It’s a lot to look past It’s a lot to take in It’s a lot to ask it’s almost, maybe too much to hold And I know that you’re tired and want to let go And the best I can offer is You don’t have to do this Alone

The only truth harder to swallow Than the fact that none of this is within my control - ooooh Is letting go of the notion That I can do this all on my own -ooooh I hate it, I hate it I’ve spent all my life trying to be the exception to a rule But it turns out I need you to be soft I need you to be strong I need you to stay calm now And I don’t know for how long I need you to laugh when things get absurd I need you to dig down deep and use only your kindest words When I get lost I need you to find me And when you do I need you to remind me That you need me, too Just like I need you Oh, you need me, too Just like I need you The only advice harder to follow Than it’s best to sit here and just wait this out -ooooh Is I’m supposed to see a gift in the mess here and keep my faith louder than my doubt -ooooh I hate it, I hate it And I’m tired of fighting the tears that come As one more thread’s undone So I’ll say it I need you to be soft I need you to be strong I need you to stay calm now And I don’t know for how long I need you to laugh when things get absurd I need you to dig down deep and use only your kindest words When I get lost I need you to find me And when you do I need you to remind me That you need me, too Just like I need you Oh, you need me, too Just like I need you I Need You I Need You I Need You I need you to be soft I need you to be strong I need you to stay calm now And I don’t know for how long I need you to laugh when things get absurd I need you to dig down deep and use only your kindest words When I get lost I need you to find me And when you do I need you to remind me That you need me, too Just like I need you Oh, you need me, too Just like I need you

about

‘Spring came early this year, or came late, I can’t tell – oh, I hardly know what day it is anyway’. (from ‘Be With You’)

Somehow, in all of the chaos and constant change that was 2020, I managed to keep writing songs. I belong to a songwriting group with weekly prompts and deadlines, and that structure was a gift. Not every song was a response to the immediate landscape, but certainly some were, and the three originals on this project served me as expression, as an untangling, as a comfort. While the songs were written in March-August, the project began to take shape in September, at first out of necessity – I’d written a song on piano, but my piano skills are limited, so I turned to my bandmate, Lars-Erik Larson, to ask if he’d make me a solid piano demo I could sing with. He did that, and more (accordion, marimba), and the foundation for this project was formed. 4 songs, 4 collaborators. Each song tracked remotely, with the collaborator completely in charge of the instrumental arrangement. In addition to Lars, Andrew Foreman, Graham Bramblett, and Jillian Rae each created a track. I then went in to RiverRock Studios in NE Minneapolis to record vocals with long-time co-producer Eric Blomquist. A year after releasing the album, ‘All Mine’, and before whatever comes next, here is “Between Here and There”.
