I Don't Know

from E Pluribus Album by Paul Riley

	/

Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album
This album was released to support City Year New Hampshire (www.cityyear.org/new-hampshire/), an organization I served with for two years. For the site's 15th anniversary, which began in August 2014, we had the first-ever alumni sponsored team. At the time, all of the money raised from this album was used to fund this attempt (which was successful!). I continue to donate money from album sales to City Year New Hampshire or another organization, depending on the climate of the country.

Each CD is individually numbered, with artwork designed and created by Tim Goodier. Additionally, you'll receive a poster advertising the album release and fundraising kick-off - again, designed by Tim Goodier.

lyrics

I don't know why
when you walk by,
a smile appears on my face.

I don't know why
I can't deny
that I long for your embrace .

Futures play out:
they’re just thoughts, nothing sure
from my spot on the side –
a pining wallflower.
Nothing changes,
nothing gained.

I don't know why
I can't explain
the way you make me feel.

I don't know why
I can't refrain
from hoping this is real.

Futures play out:
they’re just thoughts, nothing sure
from my spot on the side –
a pining wallflower.
Nothing changes,
nothing gained.

"Songs in the Key of Being Terrified by the Idea of an Entire Life" (or) "The Whale in the Forest"
by Ben Morey

Third in a four-EP series, Ben Morey's "Songs" perfectly captures the terrifying reality of existence with beautiful acoustic honesty. Life may be scary, but Ben Morey's music gives me hope. Paul Riley
