When I was a child, my momma said to me Daughter when you get older Be careful with your words, dear Be careful with your company Be careful what you say and who you say it with Don’t go airing your dirty laundry Nobody wants to see that shit Don’t go airing your dirty laundry Nobody wants to see that shit Keep your nose clean, keep your reputation in tact I knew this woman last summer Lord Jesus as my witness She couldn’t keep her mount from running She couldn’t keep her conscious clean Lord Jesus as my witness, They ran her and her business right out of town Don’t go airing your dirty laundry Nobody wants to see that shit Don’t go airing your dirty laundry Nobody wants to see that shit Keep your nose clean, keep your reputation in tact Your mind can ache, your soul can break Your body can always mend But when you mess around with words, friend Your whole damn world could end Be careful what you say and who you say it with Don’t go airing your dirty laundry Nobody wants to see that shit Don’t go airing your dirty laundry Nobody wants to see that shit Keep your nose clean, keep your reputation in tact

Hypocrite 02:46
Tell me more of your story Tell me I'm the only one I'll tell you how the world spins Spins around the sun You know we all swim together Down a stream of uncertainty Until we drown here forever To the ocean's tranquility Never have I Never will I Never can I But then again I may already have You know we all walk together Down a path full of paradigms Until we run from the hunter Like a fox running out of time Tell me more of your story Make me the only Hypocrite I'll tell you how the world spins Spins around and makes us sick Never have I Never will I Never can I But then again I may already have Never have I Never will I Never can I

Siddhartha 04:49
Follow footsteps, lead me down the middle Take my conscious, leave me soft and brittle Leave me breathless, Leave me deaf and humble Take my mind and lead me far away and through Through a doorway I revive my spirit Kill my person so my heart won’t fear it Stripped to nothing to find out what’s deeper Stripped to nothing, lead me far away and through CHORUS: Gonna let go, gonna re-know, gonna relearn Gonna re-show, gonna retake, gonna remake Gonna aaaah Go on through ooooh Follow footsteps, lead my down the mountain Follow footsteps, lead me cross the river Follow footsteps, lead me far away and through CHORUS Gonna let go, gonna re-know, gonna relearn Gonna re-show, gonna retake, gonna remake Gonna aaaah Go on through ooooh

Mississippi 06:07
Sometimes wrongs can be so hard to explain So clear to us when they’re high above something But when it’s close, it’s still closed to our eyes Let’s get away to better understand the lies Go down the Mississippi Let’s get a boat, be like Huck and Jim Go down the Mississippi Let’s get a boat, be like Huck and Jim (BREAKDOWN) People can be so cruel with greed We twist ourselves right up People can be so blind to everything but themselves People can be so cruel with greed We twist ourselves right up People can be so blind to everything but themselves Sometimes we walk a straight and careful line Between ourselves and the ones that live outside Those hidden dreams and subversive thoughts We hide and lie just to keep what’s ours alive Go down the Mississippi Let’s get a boat, be like Huck and Jim Go down the Mississippi Let’s get a boat, be like Huck and Jim (BREAKDOWN) People can be so cruel with greed We twist ourselves right up People can be so blind to everything but themselves People can be so cruel with greed We twist ourselves right up People can be so blind to everything but themselves Ahhhhh…… People can be so cruel with greed We twist ourselves right up People can be so blind to everything but themselves People can be so cruel with greed We twist ourselves right up People can be so blind to everything but themselves

Skunk Puppet 05:18
Wandered the world looking for good Convinced I knew just where I stood But then my past, you see, it catches up in spite of me I keep trying to live the dream To live my life with no extreme But maybe that's not me Just a thing I'd like to be It's such a mystery to find What really hides inside your mind I wish it wasn't so I wish I knew where it should go (Breakdown) Skyscrapers, oceans, and ravines Eight thousand miles I have been It's true you held my hand, but I don't think you'd understand I get nervous in a crowd They're selfish uncontrolled and loud I'm nervous all alone It's why I'm waiting by the phone Resist my mind I know I should Resist their kind, I wish I would Resist my worried heart Resist the urge to fall apart (Breakdown) So I went out West to search For gods that don't fit into church For life, for love, for truth, for feeling wiser in my youth But it's a mystery to find What really hides inside your mind I wish it wasn't so I wish I knew where it should go Resist my mind I know I should Resist their kind, I wish I would Resist my worried heart Resist the urge to fall apart (Breakdown) Wandered the world looking for good Convinced I know just where I stood But then my past, you see, it catches up in spite of me.

Staircase 04:21
Conversations remiss, conversational bliss We forget where we stand, we forget where to land And I’m in too deep, and I’m in too far I’ve been so wrong ,but I’ve been so strong It’s a journey in time with our words set to rhyme We’re awake on the stage in our millennial age And I feel so lost, and I feel so strange I’ve been outside, but I’ll embrace this change And up this staircase we got, We’ll show these people we know Our hearts will beat to this mess Our minds refuse to settle for less (MUSIC BREAKDOWN) And I’ve seen so much And I’ve seen so far This game is on, but it’s no where won And up this staircase we got, We’ll show these people we know Our hearts will beat to this mess Our minds refuse to settle for less

about

Sunshine Station’s debut album contains ten original indie folk songs composed of female and male vocals, mandolin, bass, oboe, hand drums, and dual acoustic guitars.

“Imagine Pink Floyd as hillbillies...foot-stomping reverie entwines with psychedelic doses of unplugged folk. One eye embraces Appalachia and the other casts a gaze upon mind-expanding flower power approaches of years gone by.”
— Tom Netherland, Bristol Herald Courier

“Their songs are uptempo and carry strong hippy vibrations...this is definitely barefoot, skirt-hitchin’ dirt floor jig dancin’ music.”
— Modern Folk Music of America (Music Blog)

"New folk played through vintage lace and tea stained gloves, this is flower-child beauty flirting with pop using strong punch vocals and catchy melody.”
-- WDVX 89.9 FM “Blue Plate Special”

"The beats [are] often primal, the music wild and carefree, drawing as much from the natural beauty surrounding them as from the creative places within them all. "
— Steven Wildesmith, The Daily Times

"Sunshine Station is finally ready to pull out of the gate. While the band has a strong following in Maryville, it’s only recently laid down tracks to gather fans in Knoxville...But don’t expect the hippie dancing and exuberance to disappear from the act."
--Wayne Bledsoe, Knoxville News Sentinel
