I look up at the mountain and climb atop, and when I reach the summit I’ll decide if I want to stop. I may just keep on going up into the sky and the clouds that lie to be found. And one day or another I’ll be the bird, who flies around the atmosphere until I am feeling bored And when the day comes, it’s not like I’ve never been here before, and when the day’s done, I’ll be waiting looking for more I fly below the stars that dance over Earth, I want to be the space exploring bird never known before. The one that gives emojis their emotions and colors Earth a different tie dye. I’ll sit down on the mountain top, get a view, and when I’m satisfied I know there’s bird work still left to do And when the day comes, it’s not like I've never been here before, and when the day’s done, I’ll be waiting looking for more

Lucy 03:10
My friends won't get me when I say that I’m from Porto Rico (portorico.com). One Danish blend, a lucy, grab and walk it’s how the week goes. Wishful thinking wishes life away, if you waste today don't fret, cause you never really had a say. Lucy darling won't you walk here with me. These cold avenues and I need your love Lucy. Come rain, or shine, or snow, I don't mind Come in my life, doors open wide If we traveled west, I’d still need my lovely Lucy. Keeps me warm at night, she always gives me sound advice like wishful thinking wishes life away, if you waste today don't fret, cause you never really had a say. Lucy darling won't you walk here with me. These cold avenues and I need your love Lucy. Come rain, or shine, or snow, I don't mind Come in my life, doors open wide

Florida Room 03:02
Florida room like warm days in June, that creep right by us with nothing to prove. Florida room slow afternoon, that melts in the sky to promise the moon. Light, moonlight, escorts the fine night, and writes off our years, just meet me back here, In Florida Room… Florida room, lets reassume, that life will go on, if I don't come home soon. Light, moonlight, escorts the fine night, and writes off our years, just meet me back here, Florida room, lets reassume, that life will go on, if I don't come home soon.

Oklahoma 02:22
I’ll write these words laters, don’t have the patience. I’m not about to sit around and contemplate some silly rhyme scheme for you. Cause you’re not worth it and this song’s not about you. Now that I’m free to do everything and anything, I’m living a dream in that its not actually happening. I’ll wake up eventually but probably… Not today no not, no not today wait Talking to people, meeting new people, forcing a smile, I’m described as a regular people person This conversations amazing but really I’m miles away in Oklahoma, where I spend all my day in the shade of a crab apple tree I’ll go back eventually but probably… Not today no not, no not today I said not today, no not today, no not no not not not today Today is the day that everything changes, I can't explain but something's different and I’m feeling a certain way Who could be to blame but the coffee And everything goes when you're in control, repeat to yourself, this suit and tie makes me just like everyone else, I can change my destiny but probably Not today no not, no not today I said not today, no not today, no not no not not not today

Cool kids with the trash looks, get together with cigarettes flickering like candles in a cave. Dirty gums and filthy minds. Leather upon leather. Chains and boots that crack against the concrete blocks boom and screech. The shrills of noise that occupies the room where nobody comes to clap, only to show blood and bruises. No one is perfect but there’s something about a guy with the right kind of guitar that makes him feel like God.

Test Cheddar 02:54
She always used to write me back, well Dac you know she had you by the hook you better relax. Live a life, turn off your phone. You know you're playing silly games with her and losing alone. It’s not that hard so take my advice, and know no words could ever change it so just cut your ties. Live your life, it’s easier this way cause if you think she's busy missing you, you’re eating your lies. Really, I’m fine Sincerely, not a care on my mind Dac was my pal by now for seven years, she sighed into a paper cup and then laughed to tears. Pushed her agenda till the end and now the end has passed, so Dac reply I serve my purpose functionless am I. Flowing, tonight You’ll breeze by, through these times. Hear me, you’re fine. This feeling, working wonders overnight. Hear me, I’m fine. Sincerely, not a care on my mind.

Guacamole 08:20
Don't tell me the names of the songs that I should listen, or tell me the places you've been that I should visit. Don't tell me what clothes to wear, or talk about my greasy hair. Don’t say that you've been there when I’m alone and nowhere. I won't fall for that trap, swooning baby, maybe lady, like mashed potatoes and gravy. Tell me the story of Arlene the avocado, who lived on an island once known as El Dorado. Tell me about the day Arlene went and ran away, with us, on that sunny may as we ate our Guacamole. I might fall for that trap, swooning baby, maybe lady, may amaze me or just bait me. Swooning baby, maybe lady, is tomorrow’s wrapping paper. Swooning baby….

about

Baby Blue is proud to present Goodfight's “Florida Room,” a glowing debut highlighting the group’s youthful, nuanced energy. The brainchild of guitarist/vocalist Andrew Forman, Goodfight has quickly blossomed into a rich collaboration between members Annique Monet, David Zyto, Daryl Johns & Guy Paz.

“Florida Room” balances the colorful warmth and whimsy of Forman's roots in South Florida with lyrical content reflecting on the emotional push and pull of life in New York City. Across eight tracks, Goodfight naturally meanders through themes of yearning, ambition, heartbreak and euphoria. On “Lucy,” Forman cleverly transforms the ritual of enjoying a loose cigarette into a tale exploring the extreme love and loneliness tied to city life - “Lucy darling won’t you walk here with me / these cold avenues and I need your love Lucy.” The slow, wistful ballad “Florida Room” captures the fond memories of days gone by while simultaneously accepting the present distance from a place that was once home - “Florida room/ let’s reassume / that life will go on / if I don't come home soon.”

The band’s dynamism exhibits a clear, confident sense of songwriting, storytelling, and musicianship that provides a refreshing dose of honesty and vulnerability. Goodfight’s infectious, loving zeal makes it hard not to want to simply smile and dance.
