Thank you so much to everyone who was able to come and celebrate with us! It means a lot, and it was so much fun. Also thank you to Los Huevos and Delicate Steve for helping us out.

Hopefully we will have some pictures or video up soon (if it came out) haha.

Happy New Year everybody! See you in 2010,

Your Humble Narrator

Life With A View is a story of love’s power to transport the lost and the lonely out of the mundane and into the ethereal, to draw us ever upwards, its mystic force assisting us in the horrid struggle to overcome ourselves and reach an eternal resting place of happiness. It is a story full of surreal honesty, cosmic beauty and ultimate triumph – of a man neither young nor old, who embarks on a journey from despair and loss of love to hope and happiness. These are songs of sadness and memory, of escape from darkness, of the rise to the light of the sun, of paranoia and internal strife, and of an apparently hopeless desire to reach the moon. To experience suffering, to calm the turbulence of oneself, to be filled with joy, to be both lover and beloved, to share an impossible destination with another – this is Life With A View, an idea of the world without which life has no aim and therefore no meaning. But to have the audacity to believe that a story which began in darkness and misery can end in beauty and happiness – this alone is to have life with a view, to have music of soaring transcendence, to have the lunacy of a love that can carry us to rest, to have the song, like Goethe’s Faust, of a life in which “here is the freest view, of spirit borne skywards.” This is to be the human story.

Behind The Scenes

pegasusjetpack — Mon, 21 Dec 2009 07:52:49 +0000

We recorded “Life With A View” throughout all of June, July, and August and it was the most time we had put into any recording process.
We were lucky to have some help from three members of The Sussex County Youth Orchestra. Kaylee Black, Socrates Leotsakos, and Stephanie Leotsakos wrote and performed parts as a string trio throughout the album. This was quite an experience for us because we had never worked with a string section before. The three of them did an amazing job and we are hoping to work with them again.

Here is some footage of all the work we put in to recording the record. Enjoy!

Keep checking back, we will be posting a Christmas song very soon.
