for twenty-twenty one, i will be releasing a single on the first of every month for the entire year, starting with this one. you can download it at https://buckaedown.bandcamp.com/track/january-living-with-arsonists The civil war ain't over Or the circus in your head Another New Year’s day out side the grave In the Valley of the Dead To shiver in the sunlight Melting in the shade Where you stand Living with these nativists These self-aggrieved recidivists Owing no faith to the common ground Is like living with an arsonist Who burns his own house down To the ground The mutiny has ended All the madness at the helm And the cautious optimism Is the new coin of the realm Shattered in slow motion We wouldn’t have it any other way. Living with these nativists These self-aggrieved recidivists Owing no faith to the common ground Is like living with an arsonist Who burns his own house down To the ground Written, Arranged, Produced, Performed, and Mastered by Buck AE Down additional vocals by Mollie Jane Greenspan Recorded at Lanai Soundworks, Pasadena CA December 2020 c+p 2021 All The Way Down Music (ASCAP) please visit www.buckdown.net

The second installment of Buck Down's Song of the Month series for 2021. LYRICS: The truth will freeze in a deep sleep While a lie travels around the world You can believe what you wanna believe But the virus won’t hear a word Discontented winters Unrepentant sinners In the hands of an angry god At the intersection of faith and insurrection In the chants of an angry mob 200 days of the long spring Did the seasons even change at all? Who could believe we'd live through such misery As the summer melts into the fall Into candy-coated winters Absolute beginners Where the time went nobody knows We should get together When the weathers better And the violence is gone from these shores Written, Arranged, Produced, Performed, and Mastered by Buck AE Down additional vocals by Mollie Jane Greenspan and Eli Pafumi Recorded at Lanai Soundworks, Pasadena CA December 2020 c+p 2021 All The Way Down Music (ASCAP) please visit www.buckdown.net

The 3rd installment on my 2021 Song-a-month series. Like all of my digital music - this song is yours for any price you want to pay for it - including nothing at all. you can download it at https://buckaedown.bandcamp.com/track/march-love-song-for-my-friends At this point, we are all closing in on a possible light at the end of this long tunnel of quarantine and distancing. i wanted to write something hopeful for this month - and the most obvious thing was the joy of being able to see friends again in real life, as opposed to a choppy zoom feed. i am an incredibly fortunate person in the regard that I am spoiled with an absolutely staggering amount of real friends who I love in deep and profound ways, and I've long since owed them a love song - so here it is. if you happen to be one of those people - I love you and I can't wait to see you again soon. But this is for friends everywhere who miss each other. Maybe send this song to someone you've been missing. nothing would make me happier. It's why i made it. Hang in there. It's almost over. LYRICS: A love song for my friends How long has it been? How much longer will it be? Until we throw down - In some remote part of town. Can’t come soon enough for me. We’re still a mess But you’re impeccably dressed And you’re still good enough for me. Spring is coming The wait is over Can we throw All this weight over now? Witness the sound Of all the walls coming down And the sunlight crashing in. It won’t be the same Until I’m yelling your name Over the crowded, bustling din. credits releases March 1, 2021 written, performed, produced, and mastered by Buck AE Down at Lanai Soundworks Studios, Pasadena, California March 2021 c+p 2021 All The Way Down Music (ASCAP)

Lyrics: We never rehearsed For Jean Say’s curse And the boats that we’re in aren’t the same Everything you can lean On how the world turns Is at the end of a monopoly game Chorus A heart that’s as hard as a diamond And a love that’s more rare than gold When you ain't got no plans When the shit hits the fans And you shiver all night in the cold So blow the four winds To their predictable ends From New York to the Barbary Coast The garbage truck choir And all we lost in the fire Is shuttled from pillar to post Written, Arranged, Produced, Performed, and Mastered by Buck AE Down additional vocals by Mollie Jane Greenspan Recorded at Lanai Soundworks, Pasadena CA March 2021 c+p 2021 All The Way Down Music (ASCAP) please visit www.buckdown.net

download at: https://buckaedown.bandcamp.com/track/may-bird-without-feathers The fifth installment of Buck Down's Song of the Month series for 2021. Lyrics: Sometimes despair’s your only catalyst It’s like a friend you probably never should have kissed And hope’s a bird without its feathers And both its wings are tied together Stuck up on a roof It could be me And I hope it isn’t you. (Blow the stars ) (Up into the sky) (Like the seeds) (Of a dandelion ) Perfect strangers with the benefits Of all the people and the places that you miss You shouldn’t have to sell your sorrow When there’s still money left to borrow You are still cared for Enough to fill the ocean to the shore Until the sun and moon explode Until the mountain takes the road Until the deepest lake goes shallow Written, Arranged, Produced, Performed, and Mastered by Buck AE Down Recorded at Lanai Soundworks, Pasadena CA April 2021 c+p 2021 All The Way Down Music (ASCAP) please visit www.buckdown.net

Lyrics: The nemesis you made In the horror of 10th grade Now Is like sand in the vaseline Hoarding the gasoline now You cannot escape The small town that's in your brain Or can you now? Now it's disappeared I'm glad my friends were all weird And still are now It makes no difference to me The only ones good to me Were all the mad ones When there's no fish in the sea You can still count on me Don’t ya know They stood in your way But they’ll fall for anything now Stumble down the rabbit holes Nothing more than bitter trolls now You can keep yr guns and we’ll keep all the fun How ‘bout it now? But if you wanna step My whole towns got my back Where are ya now? ------------------------- Written, Arranged, Produced, Performed, and Mastered by Buck AE Down Recorded at Lanai Soundworks, Pasadena CA - May 2021 c+p 2021 All The Way Down Music (ASCAP) please visit www.buckdown.net
