Rodney Beall Amazing stuff. This music is groove magic, the kind that hits in the cerebellum, and as if by a spell makes my feet move, makes my head bob, makes my heart sing. Favorite track: Moments & Magazines.

1.
when we wake up we’ll remember our letters, our efforts the building, we’re scaling its scaffold, prevailing and what a way to go, way to go, way to go out shining bright lighter than a flashbulb but does my name still hang around your head the same a permanent echo, permanent echo not the same a fundamental thing has changed permanent echo, permanent echo all the pressure, withstanding our turbulent landing i hope you’ll get better just not here, together
2.
take it from me we’ve been lonely but only for moments and magazines fortunately, we’ve been told that it’s only a matter to know what it means so follow my lead, to the name on the gates and the face of the factory and give it to me, like the seconds are down on a clock till we’re breakin’ free as i, lie awake and breathe the fireflies trace your name out deep in the trees my heart forgets the nature of the disease a skyline rising up out of the debris we’ve been buildin’ it up and buildin’ up and bringin’ it down, bringin it down since we were young we were hung on the word like an ornament left on a tree but take it from me we’ve been lonely but only for moments & magazines better believe, there’s a place in the world for a man with a mind like these impossible dreams, where we hold to the truth with the color of evergreens as i, lie awake and breathe the fireflies trace your name out deep in the trees my heart forgets the nature of the disease a skyline rising up out of the debris
3.
it’s probably not an asteroid it’s probably not a falling building it’s probably pretty average the way we finally cash it in there’s gonna be a last day gonna be a last late morning and maybe it’ll take all day to make itself more obvious and maybe it ain’t half bad as everybody likes to wonder maybe it’s as average as an empty stadium or maybe it’s remarkable like drifting in the deep black ether then maybe you’re the meteor that’s tearing through somebody else’s sky and that’s all right, that’s all right 'cause i came this far on my way alone all on my own, all on my own, and i know i’ll go out the same again all on my own, all on my own
4.
Tell Me 04:37
i’ve been out here building something nameless for the sake of finding you and piecing things together in the dark is far from easy work to do there’s a fine horizon on the edge of town i like to walk out to and look upon the water like a captain separated from his crew cause if there’s an extra island i’ve been out to sea for far too long i long to lie with you and if you’ve been laying low i know you’re gonna like where i’ve been hiding right outside of view so tell me i’m the only one when it’s deep in the night and we’re all that’s alive pretend that it’s just begun that our battery life is a green light glowing find me on the other side you’ll be waving to me like a lady at sea to tell me i’m the only one if there’s a way to unerase the damage in your heart i wanted to and piece it back together with instructions only i knew how to use cause there’s a place i know that has a ladder we can climb up to the roof to look upon the buildings shining silver as the filling in your tooth
5.
it’s a long way down, but i’m fine with gravity and it won’t be lost on me no, won’t be lost on me in the darker hours, we’re fumbling for meaning signaling retreat and waving from the beaches it’s a high tide now, and pulling from the skies in the middle of the night to open up our eyes when it’s all laid out and naked on a canvas our fundamental laws turn over on their mattress if you’re a lighthouse, i’m a search engine if you’re a lost cause, i’m your television so pick me up love, no rhyme or reason show me what you got, give it all with a rising rhythm if you’re a flashlight i’m a house of mirrors if you’re a full moon, i’m your darkest crater we’re still alive, love, start acting like it and show me what you got, give it all with a rising rhythm
6.
in the empty above stars are unlocking to the tune of a drum that’s been forever knocking i know we’re alone on this wheel we keep spinning but just pick up the phone when i call there’s no answer now the days aren’t as long and the night’s like an ember that keeps burning along like a glimpse of forever and the cars have all stalled to a crawl on the freeways like there’s nothing at all that can bring us together reach down into yourself a moment put yourself in my place and don’t it unlock the truth that you’ve been holding deep down inside, wondering why point yourself in a new direction no looking back for more attention i’ll live a lonely life before i’d take you back in, only because i measure the days without you like a mark on the wall or i could string all the nights together to mean nothing at all but i’m going ahead without you with a flashlight & falling for the next one i see without a single trace of your flaws
7.
One Step 04:21
we’re gonna make it somewhere, if it takes all night i believe i believe there’s a way to light the dark together now for the sake of the moment, in the name of youth make it through to the blue, we’ll stay awake and build the revelry it’s all we wanted to be, strong enough to believe easier now to see it's getting better, better in every way that we lean everything in between easier now to see it’s getting better, better learn to love one step at a time walk over the line, and give me the sign and i’ll be on my way so stop makin’ me wait, it’s almost too late this night is alive, a hundred hearts are beating go go, go go, a hundred hearts are singing go go, go go, this building’s coming down tonight we’re never going home, never going home tonight it’s not a final countdown, but it’s almost time let it be let it be the road to home is on the melody and you can sing that with me you can sing out loud we belong to the night a siren echoing the avenues it’s all we wanted to be, strong enough to believe easier now to see it's getting better, better in every way that we lean everything in between easier now to see it’s getting better, better
8.
Born True 04:18
the streets are blue the sidewalk has an awful glow and i do too i learned it from the best you know my pockets full of fingers and an iou i know it’s time for dreamin’ like we used to do some things are born true they’d never lie to you it’s overdue, the melody at night with you the avenues don’t need us like we want them to you know the truth we need another afternoon to follow through with what we know is calling us and its all radio on radio off, another night all radio on, radio off another song
9.
Quiet Spark 04:56
once, i walked, alone off the edge of the world i longed to know past the treeline first then over the ocean we go toward the unknown i’m always aware that you’re here with me, my mind whenever i’m finding it hard enough to find a reason to follow my heart into the dark you’re always the first thing to light the quiet spark every now and then you’re holding the world in between your own two hands finally i know i’m only as free for as far as i can run
10.
Hands Up 04:49
get a little now, before it burns out the bar’s closing up and lights go down get a little in, show a little skin lighten up the dark rooms we live in get a little more, even up the score let yourself in through the unlocked door get a little loud, drown a little out take a little doubt out your stomping grounds like you wouldn’t believe have a little more, take it to the floor make it like the last time you lived for do it with a grin, do it all again cause a little fuss with your justice or make a little case, harder to erase carve a little place in your new headboard get a little down, goin’ for the crown like you never thought you’d be tryin’ for batter up if you’re lookin’ for the blacktop satellites sneakin’ peeks in your backdrop take a big step back with the wishbone you better get gone, you better let go nonstop till we take it to the headboard make a break straight comin’ for the reward lights out hands up in the back row you better get gone, you better let go

about

"Heart of the Order" is the sophomore full-length release by San Francisco singer/songwriter/guitarist Will Weston and his 7-piece band. After a year on the Bay Area live circuit supporting Weston's debut, the group sought refuge at Nino Moschella's Bird & Egg Studios to fine tune ten tracks highlighting the tight and energetic rhythm and horn sections now backing the songwriter. "Heart of the Order" is a welcomed evolution for Weston, a more finely tuned batch of dangerously catchy pop hooks, lush harmonic arrangements, and the support of one of the Bay Area's best rhythm sections.
