Anne Castellano and Hugh Birdsall are veterans of the New London music scene who decided to try writing and recording together in the summer of 2011. They have a few more songs in the works and plan to release an EP later in 2012. In addition to their work together, Hugh continues to perform with his bands the Reducers and Dogbite, and Anne is rehearsing with her new band for upcoming shows in the spring.

lyrics

“Every Time You Cry”
(lyrics by Anne Castellano/Hugh Birdsall)

Every time you cry
A star falls from the sky
And crashes through the atmosphere
And everybody dies
They drift away through fire and flame
And not a trace remains
The universe forgets them all
And you're the one to blame

Every time you scream
I don't know what you mean
I wish that you would shut your mouth
And close your eyes and dream
Of dinosaurs and butterflies
And ice cream, cakes and pies
And if you don't the bogeyman
Will blacken both your eyes

There's a quiet place inside
That maybe you can find
Won't you go to sleep my dear
And I won't lose my mind

Every time you cry
A star falls from the sky
And crashes through the atmosphere
And everybody dies
They drift away through fire and flame
And not a trace remains
The universe forgets them all
And you're the one to blame
