about

I didn’t really think I’d ever be someone who would have people to come home to. Sure, I’d be FROM somewhere. I’ve lived places. I’d go on tour and be really really glad I got to get away because coming back didn’t mean so much.

Now, I’m in my living room, the same little living room where my pals came over late-night last summer and sang the background vocals to this song. I called them, they came over. I didn’t know I was the kind of person who deserved to have friends like that. But when you call Henry, Ryan and Brian- they show up. And now some of us are far apart, but I get this to listen to this song and wonder what I did to have friends crowd around a microphone and learn a song in a moment and sing sing sing and then go get beers at Tubby’s or Stockade or wherever we went.

I’ve fallen in love with my friends a million times since I’ve moved to Kingston and "The Age" is a song James didn’t let me throw away even when I tried. It’s the Spring Fever dream I wrote because I wanted to live it, and “Maybe if I write it, it could happen?” Now it’s happening and I wake up soaking wet and I love it here. "The Age" is the third single from ‘Easy Crier’ and it’s out now, baby.

lyrics

Is this the age when everything goes sour
All this fruit and I can't make a dent
In my dreams I hold you in the shower
I wake up and all my clothes are soaking wet

Give me one summer I won't forget
Show me how to dance until my heart goes numb
And I drink too much I'm used to regret
Close your eyes, let's fall in love

Is this is the month when it's too hot for touching
All this ice is melting at my feet
On the beach your shoulders, golden pillars
Then I open up my mouth, but I can't speak

Give me one summer I won't forget
Show me how to dance until my heart goes numb
And I drink too much I'm used to regret
And I drink too much I'm used to regret
When I drink too much can't you just pretend pretend pretend
That this is the age when everything goes sour
All this fruit and I can't make a dent
In my dreams I hold you in the shower
I wake up and all my clothes are soaking wet
I wake up and all my clothes are soaking wet
I wake up and all my clothes are soaking wet

Al Olender Kingston, New York

There’s nothing scarier than being honest with yourself. For singer/songwriter Al Olender, facing her fear of the truth has been a cleansing, often cathartic process that’s led to the kind of revelations she had previously thought unobtainable. On her debut full-length album Easy Crier, the Upstate New York based artist asks: what happens if we vow to never tell a lie, ever again? ... more
