The Family Crest - "I Am the Winter"

From the album ‘Beneath The Brine’ (2014) • Pay what you want http://tndr.lv/fam-crest

Maybe there's a heart
Slowly beating for you in the dark
That casts a sturdy sound
Slowly lifting out above the ground

But it's not mine this time
No it's not mine this time

Maybe there's a man
That's holding out love, his undying hand
With a warmth, a loving spark
To pull you out, away love, from the dark

But oh, my love, I am the winter
And my arms are cold
And dear my gale breaks us to splinters
And my wake is bold

The things I gave to take
The hearts I loved to break
The words that slowly fade to nothing

So maybe there's a heart
Slowly beating for you in the dark
But it's not mine this time
No it's not mine this time

The brainchild of frontman Liam McCormick, The Family Crest began as a recording project in 2009 with co-founder/bassist John Seeterlin. “We always liked making music with people—getting a bunch of people together and singing. So we put ads everywhere,” says McCormick. “We posted on Craigslist and emailed old friends from school.” The outcome was greater than the original duo imagined, with 80 people credited on the first recording the band produced. From that a seven-piece core band emerged, though the Crest boasts over 400 “Extended Family” members.
