Library Magic
The Head and the Heart Lyrics
I'm drawn to that sorta library magic
Whisperin' through the dusty aisles
Watchin' all the thinkers read
Tryin' to keep a grown mans quiet's like
Pulling teeth on a winter's eve
Cracks and pulls and unfamiliar roads
I'm on this one to find out
Veggie gas and brothers harass
Can't stay healthy in a cloud of eyes
Listenin' to my every move
This self-imposed adventure
That selfishness drives I can barely keep my head above the blue
Tryin' to keep it off me and you
But I can see the sunshine's rays gleaming through the clear water
Telling me you gotta hop in for this chapter's ride
There will always be better days
There will always be better days
Makin' music is what we do
Tryin' to weave the patterns for me and you
Tryin' to make the grasses breathe and a grown man cry
Truth and life is where I gleam
Tangled up in a funnel's wind
Tryin' to come out walkin'
Understand it's beyond me talkin'
Tryin' to come out walkin'
Understand it's beyond me talkin'
I can see the sunshine's rays gleaming through the clear waters
Telling me you gotta hop in for this chapter's ride
There will always be better days
There will always be better days
Bein' alone isn't lonely
It's sought after like a holiday
Bein' home is my vacation
Postcard dreams of a full-sized bed
Quit the band one too many times serious enough to get a rise
But he'll hop in the next mornin' for another drive
That's a promise the best advice we ever received is for you and me to stay together
It's easy to begin and hard to end
I'm just glad to go through it all with you as friends
I can see the sunshine's rays gleaming through the clear waters
Telling me you gotta hop in for this chapter's ride
There will always be better days
There will always be better days
There will always be better days

Composed primarily of transplants to the Seattle area, The Head and the Heart write and play songs that speak to the newness of a fresh start, of the ghosts left behind, of moving forward, all brimming with a soulfulness and hope for a better life than the one we've all been sold.
Stylistically, think a folksy Beatles or The Avett Brothers with a little extra oomph. Catchy piano melodies stand side by side with a tight trio of harmonies, and solid minimalist drums, groovin' bass, and plenty of hand percussion and foot stomps make the live show inspiring and really goddamn fun.
After the band self-released its eponymous debut album in June 2010, the emblematic Seattle label Sub Pop re-released the album. For the Sub Pop version, the song “Sounds like Hallelujah” has been re-recorded, live favorite “Rivers and Roads” has been added, and the album has been re-mastered.
The band's second album "Let's Be Still" was released on October 15, 2013.
The band released their third studio album, "Signs of Light", in September 2016.
The band's fourth album, "Living Mirage", was released in May 2019.
Band member Josiah Johnson released his debut solo album, "Every Feeling On a Loop", in September 2020.

[Verse 1]
Drawn to the sorta library magic
Whispering through the dusty aisles
Watching all the thinkers read
Trying to keep a grown man quiet's like
Pulling teeth on a winters eve
Cracks and poles and unfamiliar roads
I'm on this one to find out
[Verse 2]
Veggie gas, some brothers harass
Can't stay healthy in the cloud of eyes
Listening to my every move
Just trying to survive
Self-imposed adventure that selfishness drives
I can barely keep my head above the blue
Trying to keep it off me and you
[Chorus]
And I can see the sunshine's rays
Gleaming through the clear water
Telling me gotta hop in for this chapter’s ride
For there will always be better days
There will always be better days
[Verse 3]
Making music is what we do
Trying to weave the patterns for me and you
Trying to make the grasses green
And the grown man cry
[Verse 4]
Truth and life is where I gleam
Tangled up in a funnel's wind
Trying to come out walking
Understand it's beyond me talking
Trying to come out walking
Understand it's beyond me talking
[Chorus]
And I can see the sunshine's rays
Gleaming through the clear water
Telling me gotta hop in for this chapter’s ride
For there will always be better days
There will always be better days
[Bridge]
Being alone isn't lonely
It’s sought after like a holiday
Being home is my vacation
Postcard dreams of a full-sized bed
[Verse 5]
Quit the band one too many times
Serious enough to get a rise
But he’ll hop in the next morning
For another drive, that's a promise
The best advice we ever received
Is for you and me to stay here together
It's easy to begin and hard to end
I'm just glad to go through it all with you as friends
[Chorus]
And I can see the sunshine's rays
Gleaming through the clear water
Telling me gotta hop in for this chapter’s ride
For there will always be better days
There will always be better days

We will free those you keep imprisoned.
We will rescue those you try to kill.
The Garden is the Serpent's place.
We are the Serpent's Hand.
