I’m below sea level I am caught in the waves I am under the darkness looking for the light of day For the light of day You know I am your brother I am your friend I’ll talk about you to anyone who will listen One who will listen I am dying just to call you by name And I won’t stop, no I won’t stop til I hear your voice again I have been the world over I have been near and far I have looked inside the flower I have looked up to the stars Looked up to the stars There are marks on my palm lines There are whispers in my sleep There are secrets I remember When I sink down to the deep Sink down to the deep I am dying just to call you by name And I won’t stop, no I won’t stop til I hear your voice again I’m below sea level I’m below sea level I’m below sea level I’m below sea level

She’ll never let you down She’ll never let you down Like the rain on a lonely day Like the coffee at your favorite cafe She’s like the words you’ve been meaning to say She’ll make you feel good She’s misunderstood She’ll make you stay She’ll never let you down She’ll never let you down Like playing back your favorite memory Like sinking into loving someone so deep Like floating on the sea She’ll make you feel good She’s misunderstood She’ll make you stay

Diana 03:00
Stretched out in the bathtub circling my feet I gave up the sunset for some afternoon sleep Try to take a deep breath leave it all behind Find that hidden place I recognize I love that place Where my body slows down And the water slips off of my limbs like Diana In the forest all alone you know She never made a sound Put her arrows on the ground 19 or 20 I could let it slide But the last few years I’ve been building a fire Burns so deep not even I can see the coals Try to put it out and you will know I love that place Where my body slows down And the water slips off of my limbs like Diana In the forest all alone you know She never made a sound Put her arrows on the ground I love that place Where my body slows down And the water slips off of my limbs like Diana In the forest all alone you know She never made a sound Put her arrows on the ground

I love to taste the bitter fruit Every time that I drive through One of my old towns Remember leaving my car here Felt like it was here a year Feel the juices run down my mouth Oh that old familiar smell Oh the ocean and the swell It’s all coming back now Back now So long, so long, so long So long, orange blossom There’s a trail beside my house Must have run it up and down A hundred times All alone and in the dark Looking deep inside my heart While the moon was out Oh yeah So long, so long, so long So long orange blossom I had an old friend and she told me what to do I watched the sun rise and the ocean split in two Out from the waves came the best smelling sea spray And I walked off into that secret space So long, so long, orange blossom So long, so long, orange blossom So long, so long, orange blossom So long, so long, orange blossom

Cuckoo 04:25
Shimmer sheen and golden shine Busy polishing your shrine Happy living deep inside your mind Doesn’t take a holiday No one’s there to decorate Maybe take a break when you get paid Ahhh, Ahhh Cuckoo, Cuckoo Ahhh, Ahhh Cuckoo, Cuckoo Jingle jangle gyroscope Dangling from your tightrope Wondering if you will sink or float Always have the remedy Never the apology But then everybody starts to see Ahhh, Ahhh Cuckoo, Cuckoo Ahhh, Ahhh Cuckoo, Cuckoo Everybody knows who the cuckoo is, everybody knows Everybody knows who the cuckoo is, everybody knows Everybody knows who the cuckoo is, everybody knows Everybody knows who the cuckoo is, everybody knows Everybody knows who the cuckoo is, everybody knows Everybody knows who the cuckoo is, everybody knows Everybody knows who the cuckoo is, everybody knows Everybody knows who the cuckoo is, everybody knows Everybody knows who the cuckoo is, everybody knows Everybody knows who the cuckoo is, everybody knows Everybody knows who the cuckoo is, everybody knows Everybody knows who the cuckoo is, everybody knows

Take me into your arms and show me that you don’t mean to hurt me I am a constellation I am an open book so search me Are you sent from heaven Cause you taste like cream and honey Cream and honey Cream and honey You are a message in a Bottle that I found drifting past me Tell me that you are stronger Show me that your heart will outlast me Are you sent from heaven Cause you taste like cream and honey Cream and honey Cream and honey I am a fever breaking I am awaking from a deep sleep You are the secret reader I am a broken cup of tea leaves Are you sent from heaven Cause you taste like cream and honey Cream and honey Cream and honey Are you sent from heaven Cause you taste like cream and honey Cream and honey Cream and honey Cream and honey Cream and honey

Go With Me 03:48
I was just thinking that I would fall off of the world Float up above all the chaos and bustle and fear Watch the globe spin into emerald and sapphire and pearl Taste of the sweet things that live in the stratosphere And I know you would go with me And I know you would go with me And I know you would go with me And I was just thinking that I would check out for a spell And get high enough to rise up overtop of the rain Lose all the naysayers under a blanket of clouds Tune out the radio static that drives us insane And I know you would go with me And I know you would go with me And I know you would go with me Yeah I was just thinking that I would fall off the world I was just thinking that we could fall off as a pair Cause I know you would go with me And I know you would go with me And I know you would go with me And I know you would go with me And I know you would go with me And I know you would go with me And I know you would go with me And I know you would go with me

I watched the moon fade Thought of a million ways to love a person To love a person I watched you walk away Thought of a million ways to leave a person To leave a person Yes I know when the day is done You can’t stay close to everyone We’re all out here on our own Just making out what’s right and wrong But the sun’s out and I skipped town And I feel like I’m free now I’m at home on my own And still I know I belong I know what’s real, I know what’s real I had my mind made Thought of a million ways to change a person To change a person I felt my fear fade Thought of a million ways to be a person To be a person Yes I know when the day is done You can’t stay close to everyone We’re all out here on our own Just making out what’s right and wrong But the sun’s out and I skipped town And I feel like I’m free now I’m at home on my own And still I know I belong I know what’s real, I know what’s real But the sun’s out and I skipped town And I feel like I’m free now I’m at home on my own And still I know I belong I know what’s real, I know what’s real I know what’s real, I know what’s real

Divine Light 03:37
Let the Divine Light shine on you Let the Divine Light shine on you Oh, Oh, Oh

about

"I Know What's Real" was recorded at The Butcher Shoppe in Nashville, TN in fall 2018. Many of the songs were brought to life in the studio-- some were written right there spinning around in the control room office chair singing like it was karaoke. After years with Forlorn Strangers, we (Hannah and Ben) took every creative turn for our TRC debut. We never said no-- we just added more. We hope you feel as earnest and jubilant listening as we did making it.
