Somebody's creative thoughts can be a benefit to everyone else. As soon as the syllables hit the air they swarm around. commonly used by most who never understand what it's about. they can't regulate who lets them in and sells them out. we've got business cards but who's in charge. who knew it would be manipulated by your course of action. you'd rather parade around. I'll trade my name for something capable and more productive. the welcome hand clenches up, we've stood around and I give up. I wouldn't bother calling. there's no reputation worth the words "what do I get". keeping your policies short and simple is hard to maintain. but can it be easier to find another way to go the truth can be so hard. we're tuning our mouths to the sound, it's based upon one dream. the welcome hand clenches up, we've stood around and I give up. I wouldn't bother calling. collective thinking is out. it's time enough to find your own decisions. to attach yourself to brace for the contrast. a cold correction. but we didn't mention you're better off. wait for the corner. it's gonna be sharper the very next time around. take a vacation from all the problems distorting your patience. you're better off. taste your disorder. it's bitter without all the medicine you throw back. who knew it would be manipulated by your course of action. you'd rather parade around

Overflow 04:41
I'm staring straight across this room, the discoloration turns me away. I never know just what to do, I look for you. the bodies shifting on the move, swapping lines, connecting. before the music ends they'll follow through. we came to stay but I'm ready to go. overflow, overflow, confusing our expressionless faces. stay inside, there's no-one out tonight. overflow, overflow, confusing love with simple attraction. way to go you've complicated life. the level of interest never grows, I'm not impress by you. there's no prize to win, it's pointless to stand up. I've become a fixture in this room, the spinning walls just turn me away. but I'm ready to go. overflow, overflow, confusing our expressionless faces. stay inside, there's no-one out tonight. overflow, overflow, confusing love with simple attraction. way to go you've complicated life. I find comfort in just staying home. I try. I'm not amused. I find comfort in just staying home. overflow, overflow, confusing our expressionless faces. stay inside, there's no-one out tonight. overflow, overflow, confusing love with simple attraction. way to go you've complicated life

Mileage 04:34
You couldn't just hand it over to compensate for all of the headaches. It's practical, still we're amazed how fast we place blame. it took a little bit longer to recover the point where I left off. slowly tune out the frustration, plug my ears. but the best of you is your restless attitude, but it's getting old. like everything i know. the troubleshooting is over, there isn't a lie that could move me. it appears that I've been fixed on those complaints. my concentration has shifted, a passing feeling I cant fix. the fear and the joy of some time spent so far from home. but the best of you is your restless attitude, but it's getting old. like everything i know. how do we move under this mess of embarrassment. keeping us up to our knees, maturity shows when we believe. it's reason to move along. how do we move under this mess of embarrassment. keeping us up to our knees, maturity shows when we believe. it's reason to move along. to forget the importance and the measure of the things we say out loud. if we closed our mouthes than we'd see. to forget the reaction, didn't fact in all the time thrown out. but I'm here now and I don't regret a thing. how do we move under this mess of embarrassment. keeping us up to our knees, maturity shows when we believe. it's reason to move along. how do we move under this mess of embarrassment. keeping us up to our knees, maturity shows when we believe. it's reason to move along

Forgetful 02:59
I've come to decide I'm changing inside. I sleep through the days, they wander on behind me. distraction is hard to argue against. we climb forever over these chores to find there's just no time. when you consider all the plans we break. we should apologize. the fragility of keeping exciting lives. cos I sure feel that someone else is inside my shoes. slowing me down, trading great ideas for a pack of smokes. one kind, I'll never rely on anything short of doing things right. I'm taking a break, I'm staying awake. the weather is blamed for never feeling up to anything. can I be done or just in a phase. whatever it means I'm getting out before I waste a minute of my time. you can agree that I'm right. I'm placing a bet that following words will fail. it's getting hard to take. when you consider all the plans we break. we should apologize. the fragility of keeping exciting lives. cos I sure feel that someone else is inside my shoes. slowing me down, trading great ideas for a pack of smokes. we stand straight just as long as it takes. we'll never understand just how soon we'll break. to be forgetful is a curse if it becomes an excuse. so what is our excuse? when you consider all the plans we break. we should apologize. the fragility of keeping exciting lives. cos I sure feel that someone else is inside my shoes. slowing me down, trading great ideas for a pack of smokes. one kind, I'll never rely on anything short of doing things right

Push or Pull 04:30
I swear we've been following the road for days. in the high of my life, this is who we all become, it's impossible to fight. how involved are we in our own design, the relationship falls apart with time. do we push or pull as the memory bottoms out, no not again. phrasing the point just right is hard but i know that I will. toughing it out for just one year, it's good but it's so far away. phrasing the point just right is hard but i know that I will. toughing it out for just one year, it's good but it's so far away. alright I'm sorry but I can't keep still. don't test my type, there's pressure we don't need, it's impossible to fight. how involved are we in our own design, the relationship falls apart with time. do we push or pull as the memory bottoms out, no not again. caught up in how there's no-one around. on par with my fate that I can't resolve. tracing the rain, I've said it before, I'm not gonna move. phrasing the point just right is hard but i know that I will. toughing it out for just one year, it's good but it's so far away. caught up in how there's no-one around. on par with my fate that I can't resolve. tracing the rain, I've said it before, I'm not gonna move. open your eyes, they're heavy tonight, but the conversation keeps them up. reading my mood is easy to do, it's easy to do. phrasing the point just right is hard but i know that I will. toughing it out for just one year, it's good but it's so far away

about

Desoto Jones' debut EP titled The Troubleshooting Is Over (2005) has been re-released worldwide on Deep Elm. Their second EP titled Stay Awake Stay Alive (2006) as well as their phenomenal full-length album Aurora can also be found on Deep Elm.

The product of five friends (including three brothers) having the same musical vision, Desoto Jones write rock songs with depth and atmospherics while remaining accessible and catchy. The band began when brothers Adam and Owen Staszewski started writing music together. Longtime friends of Adam and Owen, Ean Kyler joined on bass soon after. Justin, the brother of Adam and Owen, next joined on drums along with Christoper Gill on rhythm guitar. After numerous basement demos, they released their first EP, The Troubleshooting Is Over, in April of 2005. Their follow-up EP, titled Stay Awake Stay Alive, was released in June 2006. Both EPs were recorded with Nick Rotundo. They have played countless shows in the Philadelphia / South Jersey area and have toured up and down the east coast...but this is just the beginning.
