Rabbithole 04:35
Rabbit Hole I had you for a little while, and I had you for a little while, But you’re gone... but you’re gone... Well I had the chance to make it right, and I was in a battle, between fight or flight. And I chose flight... ...I chose flight.... I had you for a little while and I had you for a little while, but I chose between fight or flight, and when I chose, I chose flight. It was the sweetest thing to get wrapped up in your demons for a little while. It was the safest place away from the light that I knew, was the darkness within you. I had you for a little while and I had you for a little while, but I chose between fight or flight, and when I chose, I chose flight. I can’t forget what we had... ...So soft and sweet, it made me weak. How could I? How could I - Let go? Let go of something so sweet? But they say even though it tastes good, it'll leave you. It'll leave you with the sweetest cavity. So I don’t eat sweets anymore, 'cuz they’re no good for me. So take me down your rabbithole, take me down with you, to your Rabbithole Rabbithole. Cuz the darkness was my favorite mess. I didn’t have to think about anything when I was in your arms. So take me down your rabbithole, into the dark.....

I can’t help, but replay, the things you said, that special day. And I will always remember... The moment you lost yourself, and the moment I lost myself, the moment we both realized, this thing that we had was a lie. So I walked out the door, and I kept movin forward, and we went on with our lives. And there’s no looking back, just the memory, of what we could've had. It’s amazing the things that will go through your head. It’s amazing the things that will go through your head, the moment you decide to leave. To leave... ...and all I’m left with, is a moment we had.

Run Away 07:44
Well it had to be you, It had to be us, It had to be our game... ...And there's somethin' about the way you choose... And when I left that day, I knew it was my time to run away. What have you got? What have you got to lose? Well we're gonna run away, we're gonna run away, are you comin'? We're gonna run away, we're gonna run away, are you comin' too? There'll be love along the way, I don't have to wait, everywhere I go there’ll be some romantic toll. So you see, if I run today, I've got nothing to lose. So I'm on the run, on the run, from you... We’re gonna run away, we're gonna run away, are you comin'? We’re gonna run away, we're gonna run away, are you comin' too? Nobody has the guts to run. Nobody has the guts to run. Nobody has the guts to get up and choose. We're gonna run away. We're gonna run away. What do you do? Starin' out the window at the clouds, I wonder where are you now, my friend? ...now my friend. Starin' at the clouds, I wonder, how many miles I have to travel now? ...travel now... They say it's fight or flight, I choose flight. I choose flight. They say its fight or flight, I choose flight. 'Cuz you see that’s what I do, You see that’s what I choose. You see that’s what I choose. To live without you.

Feel like I did a bad thing... ...feel like I did a bad thing... Startin' to feel bad now, sorry if I hurt your pride. Too far in your head to know wrong from right, couldn’t see my side... ...so now we're here, on separate rides... On separate... ....separate rides. You think I’m not picking up on everything you say. You think I’m not picking up on how you feel this way. We've played these games before, played these games before. You have this way about you, I'm the charmer, the charmer, who makes the world seem right. I love you. I love you. I love you through the night. But then as soon as you walk away, you bite me on the hand, your venom sprains. ...Bite another with you. He strikes real fast, goes for the hand, so I can’t hold you. So Cupid, please, hear my cry: Stick him in the heart and don’t ask why. Cupid, please hear my cry: Stick him in the heart and don’t ask why. You know what you did for me? You know what you did for me? You helped me set myself free. Set myself, set myself, you know what you did for me? You helped me set myself free... Travel the world, and people hear me sing. I don’t need you to make me feel lucky. I don’t need you, I don’t need you, I don’t need you. There’s somethin' around me, growin' really big. I will watch it grow, I will watch it grow, let it take me through the next level. I travel the world to set me free, and no one will know what you’ve done to me. ....so I travel... I couldn’t handle all the girls. I couldn’t handle all the stories of what could be, or what might be, or how now it’s my fault. I wasn’t gonna do it over and over.

Heartbeat 03:21
And there’s somethin' about the temperature, of your heart. Heartbeat. Heartbeat. Heartbeat. Somethin; about the way you told me, I was the only one, made my heartbeat heartbeat, heart. (Improv Hilary Kuhlmey) Somethin' about the way you smell: Tequila-a-a-a. On me. And the way you talked, and the way you touched, I didn’t have to tell you where to go, Or what to do. You just knew. And I bet when you hear this song, you’re gonna know, it’s about you. Wouldn’t that be great, your narcissistic ways, your ego would inflate, and you would love, If you knew, that I wrote a song about you. So, blow your ego up like a balloon. Blow it up. Blow it up. Til it pops. Blow it up. Blow it up. Blow it up, until it pops, your fuckin' ego balloon. Cuz that’s what it takes to make you happy. That’s what it takes to make you who you are. So let’s pop Let’s pop Let’s pop Let’s pop Like a Like a Like a Like a balloon.

Somethin' about you, it made me crazy. Somethin' about you made me feel. There’s nothing I could do, nothin I could do, but get away from you. But get away from you. Nothin I could do. And I appreciate the love, I appreciate the love, you had to give, to get me here, 'cuz it’s a win-win situation, to be. From makin' me feel, makin' me feel, small. Makin' me feel, makin' me feel, small. But, I was, too big for you! To squash like a little bug, like you wanted to. I was too big for you, I was too big for you, for you. But you like to squash me, make me feel small? But you like to squash, Squash Squash Squash Squash Sometimes I think the Universe likes to give you cues, so you don’t go through the same thing, over and over. But you choose what you choose. You chose what you chose. You get - what you lose. But if you don’t listen, to the signs all around, you’ll never get to the next place you want to go. So it feels like a game of round and round, feels like a game of round and round, but it’s not actually. You just have to choose. You just have to choose. To push on through. Push on through. Ohhhhhhhh You get what you get, even though it’s hard to lose. Look at what you’ve got, even though It’s hard to do. You get what you, you get what you, choose.

The only thing you are required to do is: let the music come through you. (oh let the music) The only thing you’re supposed to do is let the music come through you. That’s the only thing you’re supposed to do. And freedom, will come. And the freedom will come through you. All these busy people around, but you’re still, in your truth, in your silence. And you see this flow, this immaculate flow, of the Universe, all the connected web that we are. We are all - we are all one. And we are all one. If you just look at everything around you, you can see, we are all just one. So, let the music flow through you. So, let the music flow through you. We are all just trying to say our part, we are part of what we came here for. Can’t you see? Can’t you remember? We're all just one. Are we all - Are we all just one? But if you just play your part, you can see, we are, all just one. Let the music, Let the music, Let the – let the muuuuuuoooooooo Let the – let the music flow through you, Let the music come through you and flow flow flow flow flow oooooooooooo oooooooooooo Look at them, One by one they, They are in this creation, They swim together, Flow together, Eat Together, Be Together and, We are just one. But you don’t feel like you’ve got a lot to say, But I’ll tell you, I’ve got a lot to sing. When you don’t feel like you’ve got a lot to say, But I’ll tell you, Just sing. Let it go Ooooooooooooooo And let it go Ooooooooooooooo Let it flow through you....

about

There is something magical about music in it’s purist form. After spending months in the studio trying to recapture a series of musical moments that just spontaneously happened, Hilary and Sarah made an important decision: they decided to release raw recordings of their jams.

Hilary was introduced to the Austin music scene when she was recognized for her ability to vocally improvise with fellow musicians. Her love for free flow and channeling unwritten words eventually led her to Sarah, a fellow musician who also had a love for spontaneous music creation and jamming.

Sarah had previously been living in LA and NY where she was experimenting with creating music in the moment. Sarah and Hilary began routinely meeting and jamming, often recording their sessions.

After looking back at old recordings they found a trend of magical moments in which they began piecing together into an album. Now the album is ready to be released and it’s time to celebrate!

Hilary Kuhlmey & Sarah Jondreau Austin, Texas

Hilary and Sarah began performing together at the end of 2014. They wrote music together naturally, and grew in their unique sound style, as it evolved and changed.

Their music stands out as being different from what you would typically hear. Almost as if they combine eras of sound in a blending way that is magically unique to them.
