I can’s sleep tonight, in my bed Your voice like heroin, rings in my head I walk the floorboards, and count my steps And call your name out, under my breath Cold, Cold Cold night Cold, Cold Cold night I don’t own this skin, I just rest within Earth don’t give nothin’ it don’t steal again Rob you of everything, then steal your life Why can’t it steal the sorrow from this night Cold, Cold Cold night Cold, Cold Cold night You quiet the ghosts, inside my head Make me remember, then make me forget It’s time, it’s time, that does us wrong But time is too long, now that your gone Cold, Cold Cold night Cold, Cold Cold night

the door is wide and open people going too and fro between the two worlds where you and I reside don't close your eyes September September, you are so cruel but crueler still the things it's done to you take it back, take it back, I won't decline but October, can't turn back the time, no And time discloses it's sweet discourses but where is that merriment? is it at that table, where no one is seated? September September, you are so cruel but crueler still the things it's done to you take it back, take it back, I won't decline but October, can't turn back the time, no

about

Peoples Bizarre's self titled album is a well rounded and well recorded work. It features cinematic chamber music, balkan inspired rock, edgy jazz and soulful balladry. The album is mostly instrumental, but has a few choice songs in English and Macedonian.

"…the sextet distinguishes itself from the glut of similar combos with a well-developed group sound that makes the most of classic chamber instrumentation (violin, cello, upright bass, clarinet, accordion) and adds drums for rhythmic punch. Whether playing traditional Yiddish ballads with quiet sensitivity or bouncing headlong into original polkas, Peoples Bizarre performs with one voice. That's not to say the ensemble lacks able soloists. Oberlin-trained violinist Sarah Zaharako and clarinetist Colin Stetson are both engaging improvisers. But neither of them soars: Their lead lines tend to stick to the songs' melodic foundations, as if each player were taking the reins for a spell as they travel their pre-charted course. This solidarity bolsters the group's formidable collective power, which should grow even stronger as the bandmates play together."
--Sam Prestianni SF Weekly
