  • Mayfair Limited Edition First Pressing
    Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    Here it is! The first full album "professionally" released by the Timber Owls. This first pressing will be limited to a number of 40, with each album hand-numbered and hand-produced. No two will be alike, and all artwork, printing, CD making, packaging, and such will be done by David Ishizaka. Each CD will come with a little extra something special, and again, no two will be alike. Starting price for the CD is at $1 (though you can pay whatever you would like).
    *Since all CDs are hand produced by myself, it is entirely possible that some CDs may not be right, or play correctly. If this is the case please email me and let me know, and I will get you a replacement right away!

    Includes unlimited streaming of Mayfair (2013 Original Release) via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

lyrics

I was born in a rainstorm, and raised on the sea
My father was the water and my mother was the breeze
And I heard all the secrets of the ocean and the water
And never yearned until I learned of our captain's daughter

She was an angel, and she floated on air
Her eyes shinning bright, and the wind in her hair
When she spoke it was just like a song on the breeze
All the breath I had kept, it was stolen from me

It would take the finest alchemist to forge a force as fierce as this
Or make the magic that she holds, that turns this heart from stone to gold

Then, one day our love caught fire in a storm
All the flames we had made kept us ardent and warm
When the captain found out, he was burning with rage
We were thrown from our home to an island far away

We built new lives, watched our old ones uncoil
Planted hands in the land, dug our feet in the soil
'Til the day both our bodies will rest in the earth
We will sleep nestled deep in our blanket of dirt

It would take a fearless alchemist to break a bond as strong as this
Or steal our bodies from the cold, and turn our bones from dust to gold - where time will show, my heart she holds.
