Wood & Wire

by Peter Munters

/
  • Streaming + Download

    Includes unlimited streaming via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

    Welcome to my first album Wood & Wire. This record was written over the last few years, on tour, and in between; jotted in the back of my mind and recorded at home with the indispensable help of a few special friends and the burning desire I cannot shake to always live, breathe and share music. Thank you for pushing me toward this goal and for listening.

    The song "Make A Move" will remain available on a pay-by-donation basis for as long as bandcamp will allow it, and I have a few surprises, like a bundle of unreleased tracks, hi-resolution artwork and other delights in store for the first 300 people to purchase the album from:

    The world is a song. Gravity is the beat. Love is the melody, and all we have to do is live to give a little meaning.

HOW LONG TILL WE KNOW in the next 30 seconds if the planet vanishes in a haze, will the boring and the reckless get along in the flash of flickering fame? Will we end up infamous, if there's anyone left listening in this misbegotten dream of a God too cool to notice? How Long till we know tonight? Will that simple rush of desire always makes us feel alive. How long till we know for sure? we were meant to rise above, ignite, and overflow How Long Till We Know? there's a fool here in each of us ready to raise a hand in this charade so roll down the dirty window & say hello to the great big empty there are diamonds in the sky now and twice as many in our eyes across the night somehow the beauty multiplies. Say so long to the shadowy cold let the easy rush of love in like an ocean It was meant to rise above us all and overflow How Long Till We Know? There's a fool here in each of us, ready to just let go and sing, so open up your window and say hello

SOMEBODY'S MIRACLE its been so long since you let yourself show but you're still a wonder there underneath it all & its crystal clear to everyone you know like a one way mirror they're trying to see through you while you stand there frozen cold in your point of view wake up wake your dream don't let it go you can have it all if you give some more than typical and be somebody's miracle even though we're coming undone & we will never be everything to everyone, we become somebody's miracle. when you fade to black by yourself in the corner will you shine your light tonight bright slow burner? yea you color in the room yea you could fill in the world too you belong in love so feel it all you've got is time. to forget what's on your mind wake up wake your dream don't let it go you can have it all if you give some more than typical and be somebody's miracle whether you believe it or not, inside our truth faith is what we've got. we become somebody's miracle every time that we falter every finish that we star just hold on. wake up wake your dream don't let it go stand up its your dream that needs you so we are somebody's miracle

SEEING STARS ALIGN there is proof of magic in this messed up world in between the lines and all the rationale but sometimes you can drive your heart right off the map and others the only love that matters lives to pull you back. knocking you right off of your feet im seeing stars align every time she smiles my lifebegins to make some sense to me and i can see all our dreams are suddenly so real and i keep seeing stars align i was down and out in desperation town and all i had was shattered in the aftermath of a nightmare like her favorite song sung out of key in my car in her big bright eyes i found that i was free im telling you she rescued me like a sign when you least expect half a beat from a heart attack forgott myself in the way she moves i was dynamite she lit my fuse and my stars aligned. a constellation of paradise.

NO MORE HEARTACHE come take me home i don't know where i've been this isn't glamorous anymore just shadows in the dark show me something real i can't take the waiting all alone this can never stay because nothing does fading in the sun gather all your words and come talk to me separate lies from reality truth is in between us like it used to be no more heartache no more heartache (i) want to shine a light tell me something just to make me smile tell me where the innocence has gone scattered in the wind photograph photograph staring back, it isn't me the only last familiar faces left are the ones i see on tv gather all your words and come talk to me separate lies from reality truth is in between us like it used to be no more heartache no more heartache oldest friend i miss you so desperately whenever weŗe together I remember me tell me can you see it all differently? no more heartache no more heartache

Make A Move 04:14
MAKE A MOVE can you open up my eyes so i can see myself again I hope it comes as a surprise I wasted all this time pretending to be whatever wasn't me but now the walls keep tumbling down no one is looking to become a black hole of bright ideas we want to know who we are so we don't feel disappointed a faded memory not lost a mystery from from long ago a little light to call our own when we are standing here alone salvation found in translation like a melody opens up windows and doors how did i get here so far away from everything i was yesterday gotta make a move to save my soul gotta make a move, gotta make a move logic is twisted, paralyzed how do we get so hypnotized gotta make a move to save my soul gotta make a move, gotta make a move is anyone else here terrified of all that you wanted in another life fear is making us live in overdrive gotta make a move, gotta make a move in all of our doubt we are driven to believe this moment means everything we're the only ones who ever understand why gotta make a move gotta maka a move

Light Me Up 03:40
LIGHT ME UP V.1 summertime purple sky touching for the first time evidence on your hips fingerprints and lipstick bittersweet symphonies stereo make me believe love is jail nothing new your desire sets me free im alive feeling high when you stand next to me nevermind all the crimes you are just what i need. CHORUS Light me up like its your last cigarette you don't have to be so lonely Hold me in just to feel this desperate burning up for you slowly V.2 tell me now what you need whisper what i want to hear the secrets that we share when you're laying next to me nothing else can compare just like walking on air CHORUS: Light me up like its your last cigarette you don't have to be so lonely Hold me in just to feel this desperate burning up for you slowly You been locked down inside long enough you dont got to be afraid no more Light me up like your last cigarette BRIDGE: so come on over we can sleep all day you know i want you in the worst of ways if we start if over make the feeling stay can we crash and burn crash and burn
9.
When you'e not the next big thing and the world forgot your name when you feel it sinking in it isn't your imagination waiting for the avalanche It happens every time the second you've got it figured out Killing off your life holding too fast to control Wasted waiting on a breakthrough Playing your part like a readthrough you won't get to tomorrow. Inhale, exhale going through the motions You want to be redeemed in the search for self esteem anywhere but in yourself. The trouble when you think you know it all is you dont feel anything at all

Tidal Wave 03:42
TIDAL WAVE V.i is it so hard for you find some honesty? tune it out turn me down keep trying I won't let you get away when did innocence become so blind? staring at the sun made us numb murder my trust test your luck if we're done then ego is the killer CHORUS: Hey Hate Rising up like a tidal wave Hey Hate Not a lot left to say so we take it all back take it away all of the lies and the bitter taste that you leave hey, hey washed away in a tidal wave V.ii Couldn't deny the chemistry that's why it hurts, it was our time to hit the sky but you wrecked it anyway tragically hip or so you think original turned to whatever i want to forgive the promises the emptiness you keep giving CHORUS: Hey Hate Rising up like a tidal wave Hey Hate Not a lot left to say so we take it all back take it away all of the lies and the bitter taste that you leave hey, hey washed away in a tidal wave What we had at the beginning didn't need a name didn't have to break.

Chalkline 02:58
CHALKLINE sometimes you gotta run just to see who will follow when a taste is not enough of your wildest dream like the barrel of a gun pointed at your self-destruction you can find a new beginning in the smithereens you're thinking oh my mistakes belong in a song as the tears fall down somehow its time to move along dyin to be more than just a chalkline at the scene of the crime some lies we just believe to avoid a conversation but when nothing's what it seems i am comfortable and the future we can't rush will never be the destination of the feelings we can't touch waiting by the phone for you to call out: hello its not too late for my daydream so i'll see you on the outside dyin to be more than just a chalkline at the scene of the crime trying to feel a moment that is all mine that nobody knows and no one can find when i come around from the island where i hide there'll be no dancing on the edge of this life dyin to be more than just a chalkline at the scene of the crime trying to feel a moment that is all mine nobody knows and only i can find it always dyin to be more than just a chalkline i want to be more than a memory.
