on the bandstand in a time of magical thinking jessye norman appears wrapped in her shawl she begins to sing, my slumber grows ever more peaceful. someone in the kitchen strikes a match. not for us another round. thelonious monk plays round midnight.

music+lyrics by David Schulman HOME Whatever happens, we’re together Laugh or fight or dancin, in the rain Wherever you go, I go with you Until I can’t remember my own name Home Take me Home There’s no blue heaven, no forever Not for the likes of you and me. But moonlight casts our shadows, as we’re walking And That’s close to heaven as I’ll ever be. We’ve had our candles, had our whisky We’ve had our tea and scrambled eggs/cigarettes/hard-boiled eggs We’ve gone for broke on broken daydreams And we’ve crawled back home too late, to get in bed Take me Take me home oh my darlin Please Take me home Take me home tonight I hear a trumpet .... Take me, home Take me home A dream — a heart beat, secret numbers Scraps of paper, something someone said When I leave will someone still remember? Will the voices still keep singing in your head? I hear the sirens, I hear em singin I see the lights before my eyes You know I never seen anything so pretty And I know I’ll never know the reason why Take me Take me home oh my darlin Please Take me home Take me home Please Take me home Take me home tonight

David Schulman Washington, D.C.

Heard nationally on NPR, David Schulman’s music has been described as “mysterious and beautiful” by The Washington Post.

By turns nocturnal, reflective, funky, and cinematic, the music of violinist and composer David Schulman + Quiet Life Motel is a weave of jazz harmonies, shimmering orchestral textures, and international grooves.
