C'mon baby let us... feel sanctified This love is right, you might think I'm lying So what are you waiting for I gotta hit you with my eyes I gotta see you to cut me too There we will go in the stars there we will go in the stars tonight There I will be there to see come inside of me tonight Who are you gonna look at when I'm gone...

You know my like a brother does and that makes me feel good And I look out my window, up at the stars something that keeps me alive The jester was right when he said you would fool me but now the cards provide an answer to soothe me believe the world is large but the feeling is larger Consume the chain of water into life

about

Tonight captures the odd mix of pleasure and anxiety that’s involved in “going out”. The song is based around a house grove that starts off in a celebratory aura of urgency, but slowly decays into questions of fidelity and the future. “Tonight” is about the ways our thoughts meander when we dance and the places they go that feel both good and bad.

“The Feeling” marks the end of a night out. A simple love song, “The Feeling” is about giving in to fate, finding romance in a friendship, and letting the dawn break nighttime without a fight. It's about the way a morning should feel after a good night out.

~~

Jack Whitescarver never actually studied music within an academic framework, instead graduating from Bard College having majored in studio arts. This background is inextricable from his persona as a performing artist. Vulnerability, theatricality, letting your “cool” go, all aspects that can be traced in his art, can equally be identified in his stage presence. One truly gets sense that his songs were meant to be performed. His campiness is authentic, raw, and genuinely enjoyable.

His interest in pop stemmed from this proclivity for the dramatic, for narratives laced with tension condensed into a short snippets with the intention of being more accessible to a larger audience. But Whitescarver contends that it is only when you play with this tension in different ways, supplementing the narrative with layers of dissonance, tomfoolery, and willingness to explore outside of the existing bounds, only then will you hit “the sweet spot”.
