rest upon a song (c)2011 ryan internicola welcome home again eager arms are thrown around You see the bright eyes, see the smiles hear the laughter it’s been a long day all that You have made surrounds You worlds and wonders in Your hand stars and hearts upheld where do You go when You’re weary where do You go when You’re weary pull up a chair rest upon a song sung from lungs in love please, have a seat let injustice fall asleep underneath beautiful feet foxes have their holes the birds have their nests so they say the Son of Man has no place to rest pull up a chair rest upon a song sung from lungs in love please, have a seat let injustice fall asleep underneath beautiful feet

A PSALM OF WONDER (c) 2010 ryan internicola Give thanks to the Lord, Who holds the filthy hand Bless the Holy Name that weds with wicked man Praise the One Who breaks, praise the One Who bleeds Praise the One Who hangs, praise the One Who breathes Amen, amen, amen, amen Praise the cripple’s crutch, praise the widow’s wealth Exalt the friend of thieves, exalt the hooker’s help Worship and adore the face that kissed the fist Bow before the Lord spat upon and stripped Raise a holy hand, touch the hole in His Lift a weary eye to the helpful hill Amen, amen, amen, amen Sing to Him Who hears the drunken babble Sing to Him Who keeps the head beset by hell Thanks be to the Lord Who dries-up all our wells Thanks be to the Lord He cures the real disease Holy is the One Who opens up the door And sets the demons free from their task of plaguing man Love the One Who stays with faithless wretches Love the Lord of life Amen, amen, amen, amen

about

"we live here" was born during a time of displacement for ryan i and band members. The album raises questions and offers hope regarding one's sense of belonging. Explosive, ecstatic, dark and moody; at times nervous, pensive or riotous: "we live here" moves the listener through a varied and immersive rock experience.

ryan i was raised in Buffalo, NY where he began his music career. He moved to Southeast Wisconsin where his music further developed, and then to Charlotte, NC where he joined with friends that make up his band today. Influences include Seattle Grunge, American Folk, Alternative Rock and Ambient Instrumental.
