From Chris Trapper:
I decided to release this in the "pay what you can" model,as an offering for those fans of mine who may be under the economic tide, and for those of you who are swimming, all proceeds for this recording will pool into my next recording budget, tour support, and my ongoing struggle with doughnut addiction.
Many thanks for your continued support,
Chris Trapper

The conversation went something like this...
Jason (producer Jason Meeker) :So Chris, have you been writing new songs?
Chris: Yeah, I have a handful
Jason: Why don't we record a few together?
Chris: Because Jason, you're an electronica producer.
Jason: So what!
And since "so what?" has been the goal post that I've been kicking my musical career through over the years, it had a ring to me to try something different, so producer Jason Meeker and I embarked on this, the "Into the bright lights" EP; 7 songs that in which an acoustic singer-songwriter meets electronica / cinematic / '80's inspired production.
Now before anyone thinks I'm going the direction of Wham!, this particular producer has known my music for many years, so we worked within certain parameters, but I think the recording is it's most interesting when it peaks outside the usual singer / songwriter framework.

lyrics
5. From the balcony
-----------------------
Where does the music come from?
It could be right in front of you
With so many seats to choose from
You sit where you always do
'til you won't someday
No more crying from the balcony
Go find your front row seat
Don't be a stranger to the symphony
Feel your real heartbeat
Where does peace of mind come from?
It could be right in front of you
With so many paths to choose from
You walk the way you always do
'til you won't someday
No more crying from the balcony
Onto an empty street
Throw over everything you used to be
'til you feel your feet

You walk the way you always do
'til you won't someday
No more crying from the balcony
Onto an empty street
Throw over everything you used to be
'til you feel your feet
