Intro 01:48
2.
as we're driving away we just know how it is heading north through the fields that we worked in as kids we pass row after row as they form up in lines for a handful of pennies or a pocketful of dimes. the moths on my door they reminds me of habits I thought I didn't have anymore in the valley we all have a vice or three in the backs of our closets or under our sleeves.
3.
Keep Up 03:31
for as long as I can remember every night we'd lie awake counting down the hours until we made our escape I think we're headed out now two middle fingers held high kick open through the front doors and walk out into our lives. down highways and around again and these places in between we keep trying to find it in everyone we meet and I know it's been a while but despite what you've been told we still stagger through these streets making short-term memories don't you know? and there's a lesson somewhere probably hidden underneath drifting away and northward and maybe we're afraid to see another year's gone by and I can't seem to feel a thing it's only getting harder to keep up with the living. but there's still so much to say so we bother with the time we can see it in these stage lights and I can feel it in your eyes and I know it's been a while now but despite the things they'll say we're still stumbling through these streets making short-term memories anyway.
4.
Now + Then 01:43
oh I've been seeing your face every at night in my dreams and you visit so sudden as if everything seems closer than it's ever been to seeing you again but that's only a moment that happens now and then. probably downtown in the company of the company we share in some drinking establishment I probably won't care to be in for the hours spending my pockets away again I know it's not right but it happens now and then. and I've been seeing your face every at night in my dreams and you visit so sudden as if everything seems alright for an instance because I saw you again but that's only a moment that happens now and then. and then I drink to myself another night in a row I think that I should write you but I already know that a letter can't begin to say and a song won't make amends I've been doing it all wrong these days but it happens now and then.
5.
Anything 02:44
oh anything will do you sleep in instead through these afternoons and early evenings just take your time through the longest nights now. oh anything will do. oh anything will do to stay interested through these afternoons but it's time to go now I guess there's a world outside and it's wondering why you've been out of sight and hiding out. oh anything will do. because I know not what I do just don't go telling everyone.
6.
Turned In 02:37
these faces smiling at you are just scars on the moon and all these diamonds you see can't mean a thing to me. because I've turned into all I was hiding from because I've turned in because I've turned into all I was running from because I've turned in. oh I could tell you some truths but we're all quite understood here because all these diamonds you see can't mean a thing to me. because I've turned into all I was hiding from because I've turned in because I've turned into all I was running from because I've turned in.
7.
Instrumental 01:54
8.
11:11 03:52
your lights shine through the window you're awake when I arrive it's not that we're distracted but we'll probably stay up all night. and there's no rhyme or reason to it we'll have it no other way this wasn't how I planned on it to be but it's where the pieces fell in place. now I'm stumbling to your door make my way up to your stairs I know I've made this trip before but I'm always left so unprepared. but you're special kind of being and someday I hope to be the same I've still got so much to learn about you but sometimes I can't wait. and there's no rhyme or reason to it we'll have it no other way this wasn't how I planned on it to be but it's where the pieces fell in place.
9.
Beacons 04:15
and there were beacons on the bay we could try to swim but it would probably be too far away and we're not worried about the cold no we're not scared to die as much as we're afraid about growing old. I think I've seen this in some dream a thousand nights ago it makes us laugh and I think we've done this all before under the same moon this time of year but with a self I don't know anymore. it was a thousand nights ago. and there were beacons on the bay to guide some ships into landfall and then you turned to say: I'm not worried about the cold no I'm not scared to die as much as I'm afraid about growing old. but it's a thousand nights away.

praise for now + then:

"a magnificently sinewy suite with great vocal painting on a nice high rem-style canvas." -paul schomer, npr / radio crowd fund

"candysound’s intricate arrangements feature staccato rhythms that never become brittle, complimented by passion that never translates to general heaviness. The songs feel light and engaging, even though they’re all going at it full force." -stephen carradini, independent clauses

"and it is the idea of time that seems focal to the record. the passing of it. the mourning of it. and its power to be ephemeral. candysound perfect the art of restraint on 'now + then' - enabling it to be a record full of youth in tone, while sounding mature and informed in execution." -rich ward, 11 is louder than 10

"i’ve been listening to crider’s music since he was a teenage bedroom shredder with a myspace page, and have always thought he’s one of a group of musicians in this town who consistently crank out quality music, make it look a whole lot easier than it probably is, and generally don’t make enough of a fuss about themselves. this opinion is borne out on 'now + then', which is nine songs of crider’s succinct and engaging indie pop music fleshed out by a full band." -carey ross, cascadia weekly

"while every song on the album is a nugget of indie pop gold, 'keep up' and 'anything' are highlights with the emotional 'beacons' rounding out the album." -brent cole, what's up magazine
