    Lach's third album 'Kids Fly Free' came out the week the World Trade Center fell. Tour cancelled, the album never had a chance. It was originally released on Lach's Fortified label that included artwork on the disc itself. It was then picked up by Track Records in the UK, who originally signed Hendrix and The Who, and that import version has no CD art but does have a bonus hidden track of 'The Hillary Clinton Song'. Please indicate with your order whether you'd like the US or UK version.

about

"This was so much fun doing in the studio. It's basically live with the musicians giving the direction to "come in hesitantly". Billy loves this kind of thing and his percussive avant-drumming is remarkable. I enjoyed playing the vibes, another reason why live recording in real studios is so great, you never know what new toys you'll discover." - Lach

lyrics

The Hesitant

Judging all prospective partners with microscope eyes
Labeling them as defective and damaged merchandise
Even Venus would be less than in your eyes
Aphrodite’s wet hair would be a tarnished prize

Hesitant

Keeping all your options open has closed off your heart
The only part of love you understand is its start
That shock of magic that quickens your heart
Quickly diminishes as you look at her as art

Hesitant

Put up on a pedestal eventually she’ll fall
Pushed off by your need to control it all
Your fear of love is really a fear of growing old
When death will take away the love that you try to hold

Hesitant

Put away your fear, let fly your secret dream
Take a hand in yours, take a chance, and be redeemed
Truth is never perfect for in perfection pain’s concealed
Beauty resides in the wounds that we reveal
