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

about

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

4. Heartaches on parade
---------------------------------

You might think you saw a shining rocket in the sky
It was my pride, was my pride
But it wasn't in me to save the city, and yes, I guess I lied
But at least I tried, least I tried

I am caught within your kryptonite
I lost my senses, lost my might
So I might take a lonesome holiday
I sold my shirt and pawned my cape
And headed back to outer space
And realized I never should have stayed

Heartaches on parade

So a circle gathered on the sidewalk as word spread through the town
A man is down, on the ground
But I couldn't take it on the pavement, as fodder for the crowd
So I snuck out,
I snuck out
