alexmusicrocks So in love with this album I know I'm discovering this quite a few years later but you never cease to amaze me. Loved Freelance Whales and I love the new stuff with Computer Games, so I'm really happy to have found this Jewel and I want to Thank You for doing all you do, including the guitar lessons you gave me which were alot of fun and I'm still trying to pick up stuff it's just going to take some time. But anyway I'm going to stop talking. Love the Album and super Happy it exists and that you decided to try something on your own.

Gwen Kelly Dear Chuck,
Props for getting out three full length albums in the time it took Darren to make ONE EP. (because no, glee doesn't count. and yes, freelance whales does.)
In all seriousness though, you're amazing. This album is amazing so far. I haven't stop listening to I Want The Real Thing since I got the download last month. (I think it was last month. Was it last month? I don't know.)
Anyhow, congrats. I'm sure Darren is as proud of you as I am. :)
Much love, always. Favorite track: I WANT THE REAL THING.

Brenna Farrell This album is really fun and different, compared to a lot of albums out these days. Chuck's got some awesome new sounds and techniques that you don't hear very often. Will I See You Again? is, by far, one of my favorites. Favorite track: WILL I SEE YOU AGAIN?.

The way I see it There's not much time Love is fleeting when it's undefined Tell me straight what I want to hear Tell me there's nothing to fear I can be louder than the demons you shake I can burn brighter than the day to day Only so much of this that I can take Tell me if leaving would make you stay Oh oh oh oh I want the real thing Oh oh oh oh I want the real thing Give me the real thing Someday I'll crack the code you made The day you saw through me Until that moment I'll live inside A frame you hung to see What I believe to be Oh oh oh oh I want the real thing Oh oh oh oh I want the real thing Give me the real thing Oh oh oh oh I want the real thing Oh oh oh oh I want the real thing Give me the real thing (I could turn around)

Will I see you? Will I see you again? It's our summer, it's our summer again Will I see you? Will I see you again Please don't tell me fight this feeling Please tell me I'll fight for you Please don't tell me fight this feeling Please tell me I'll fight for you

drive up the coast with the roses thrown echo the moonlight as your leaving home the lanes are changing they are overgrown theres a beauty when it's all unknown i want to go out and reach it always potential when there's nothing flown eyes on the road but my mind will roam i'll never payback all the things I owe but I can show i want to go out and reach it

RIBBONS 03:05
Be a modern musician And not make a living It's an act of contrition Making visions with ribbons Lucky to be here Wish I could stay here Lucky to be here Wish I could stay here

Been a long time coming But it still feels strange Untangling the roses Wringing out the braids Been a long time coming But it still feels right The dust is all settled Let's say this tonight Carry all the oceans When the stars all turn black The wind pushes forward Instead of holding you back With heartbreaking dances To claim what is yours I'll take my chances In fighting this war Hell below, stars above us Heaven knows I"ve been honest Hell below, stars above us Heaven knows I"ve been honest When opposite forces Attract and change course Testing the waters And swimming round remorse But now I feel lifted Was I the weight on your back? Am I just drifting cuz we know we've been had? Hell below, stars above us Heaven knows I"ve been honest Hell below, stars above us Heaven knows I"ve been honest

Rise and shine Get out of bed Time to play And stay out late Color all the corners Tearing down the borders Ignoring all the warnings Living out of focus We could go Out of style You and me For a while I could be your busted Radio eraser Two apartment darlings Appear into the ether

FOOTPRINTS 02:49
Follow the footprints in the snow A trail that's left behind, bestowed I hope I can transpose Eardrums from ground Frostbite to find a home You disavowed Compress my eyes until They block the light That stab between the trees My flint ignites nights Turn into sutures made of smoke That bind the houses made of oak The oxygen sustains The wind's shadows Breathe through the windowpane The fire soaked The vessels all filled up Covered in snow And as the heat escapes I hear echos home Follow the footprints in the snow
