about

Radio Flyer (7 tracks) is Karen's first solo release.

"Utterly entrancing mind-manifesting music right from the get-go from Zanes, a founding member of the Freeways. Unlike many third-wave psychedelia projects, this is composed more of modest snippets than of grandiose, sprawling manifestos, and is all the better for it. You might close your eyes and almost imagine ...the second coming of Galaxie 500. “Lover Boy” is ethereal and haunting and the title track doesn’t even need the echo to make its ambiently melancholy point."

-Francis DiMenno (The Noise; Silver Circle Reviews)

Track Name: Heaven and Earth
Heaven and earth
heaven and earth
heaven and earth
find another place to be
find another place to be
without me

get up in the mornin'
put on your shoes
do a little runnin'
it's good for you
and me

Heaven and Earth
heaven and earth
heaven and earth
got a lot of bills to pay
got a lot of bills to pay
today

put 'em in an envelope
put on a stamp
drop it in the mailbox
it's sent

Don't ever show
don't ever show
your rage
you could be them
or you could be you today
what do you choose?
Track Name: All Set
Last days of autumn
are closing in
got my red wine
got my honey
I'm all set

First snow is falling
I'm not afraid
got a blanket
got my honey
I'm all set

High upon this mountain top
I've got a clear view
no more games
no more hurting
we're the lucky few

seasons will see us through
seasons will see us through
seasons will lead us through
I've got you and you've got me

Summer's heat is calling
the blue sky too
got a baby
got my honey
I'm all set
Track Name: Lover Boy
Her friends say he can be head strong
why can't they see he's such a joy
how could so many people be wrong
lover boy
lover boy
lover boy

How many years were they together
in that time
swear he'd be a better boyfriend

But one day
he came home
stretched out blue in a truck
they said he'd been drinking
this time too much

How many times
did she believe him
deceived herself
pulled the wool over her own eyes

people can't be changed
they drink too much
they never change
when they've had enough

Her friends say he can be headstrong
why can't they see he's such a joy
how could they have been so dead wrong
lover boy
lover boy
lover boy

my lover boy
Track Name: Radio Flyer
You
travel through the pattern of my life
you
live in the spaces of my heart
you rode the radio flyer
so long ago
they always said
how fast you'd grow

You
travel through the pattern of my life
you
live in the spaces of my heart
you came of age today
we don't talk anymore
you've got to find your way
without me babe
Track Name: Moonlight Lady
Mystery stranger
mystery man
you come on through the other side
the time I lay my head down to rest
I try to touch you but you fade
that's the time that I realize
that pen and paper will console me more

I can be your moonlight lady
crossfire holdin' the sunlight's ragin'
do whatever we need to fill the void

Caught up in the middle
I think you could use a little
lovin' and affection
oh lord, give us some direction

Mystery stranger
mystery man
you come on through the other side
the time I lay my head down to rest
I try to touch you but you fade
that's the time that I realize
that pen and paper will console me more

I can be your moonlight lady
crossfire holdin' the sunlight's ragin'
do what ever we need to fill the void
do what ever we need to fill the void
