"Last Call for Cinderella is a wonder. It is like wandering into the perfect kitchen party where the musicians are not only impeccable, but their material flows from one song and genre to the next seamlessly. This is a protest album for a modern world, but it’s also a gift from the hearts of seven incredibly talented musicians.”

“The Grievous Angels are following in the footsteps of Woody Guthrie, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Joe Strummer and Billy Bragg.”

SLEEPWALKING honey I’m tired of sleep walking Trying find the light Calling out to reach you But it’s like two ships lost in the night Thought I heard the ice shelf breaking But they say it’s just a tall tale I’m sleepwalking through the channels For the midnight madness sale There was a monkey in a rocket And they sent him into space But then I saw him at IKEA In a living room that they made I call your name in the night time But my voice ain’ t strong at all I’m so tired of sleepwalking In the kingdom after the fall I want to wake in the morning honey go barefoot in the rain I just want to hear your sweet voice saying say it’ll be okay honey say it’ll be okay Now I lay me down to sleep I pray the lord to wait Cause things go bump in the night time And I pray my soul will save I was at the bottom of the ocean And the light was far above I’m so timed of sleepwalking Trying so hard to wake up I want to wake in the morning honey And walk barefoot in the rain I just want to hear your sweet voice saying say it’ll be okay say honey say it’ll be wake in the morning And walk barefoot in the rain I just want to hear your sweet voice saying say it’ll be okay say honey say it’ll be Say it’ll be okay

THIS IS HOW THE CITY FALLS This is how the city falls Not like how you dreamed at all Not the stranger outside the wall This is the how the city falls This is the how the city falls Trust is just a fragile thread It’ll pull you through the fiery dread it can break apart as words are said Trust is just a fragile thread CHORUS Shadows tun to rage and blame festers in our heart and veins You pay it rent though it has no name Shadows tun to rage and blame CHORUS Touch me darling and hold me tight Stay inside don’t go out tonight Hide your phone from the pale blue light THIS IS HOW THE CITY FALLS THIS IS HOW THE CITY FALLS THIS IS HOW THE CITY FALLS

4.	I Could Tell 03:39	lyrics	buy track
I Could Tell I could tell the way she past me in the hall. A slight change in the breeze A chill but not a freeze But I could tell. I should have called out your name like finding footprints in the rain Not deciding whose to blame or letting it just slip away I should have called your name It wasn’t the fire and it wasn’t the plague It was just the lies we tried to sell as the world around us fell but I could tell I could tell Like an echo down a well There was a poem that made you free When we were young and believed Just an echo down the well The light changes from red to green We’re both lost in our screen scrolling to find a way from the twilight back to day The light changes from red to green It wasn’t the fire and it wasn’t the plague It was the lies we tried to sell as the world around us fell but I could tell
5.	Friday Night 04:42	lyrics	buy track
FRIDAY NIGHT It’s Friday night and there’s nothing to fear We could watch a movie no need to buy some beer. It’s Friday night no need to hit the town. That town knows how to strike back, It’ll knock you down. I’ve been worried about you baby I know you’re not the same guy. That stole my heart away with a twinkle in your eye. And I’ve been looking in the mirror and I don’t like what I see That Friday night hero just feels like history. It’s Friday Night but it’ll be okay. There’s a new world waiting and a brand new day. I’m tired of all the promises and I’m tired of the threats And I’m tired of Saturday morning with the heartaches and regrets. So tired of seeing our children as they turn their heads away. When Daddy tells them that he loves them after drinking all day. It’s Friday Night but it’ll be okay. There’s a new world waiting and a brand new day. When I think of all those years that I just drank away. It’s like looking in a black hole that wears my name. But don’t worry about that baby because its Friday night you know Hold me a little closer our love has come home. It’s Friday Night but it’ll be okay. There’s a new world waiting and a brand new day. It’s Friday night and I just want to say There won’t be no free rides But we’ll be okay, No there won’t be no free rides But we’ll be okay.

LITANY OF THE SAINTS Come down St. Catherine Come down and ring your bell Come down St. Catherine Come down and ring your bell the world needs a cooling things aren’t doing too well Come down St. Francis show me the sign of peace People feeling pain people need some relief Swing lo sweet Joshua swing lo and blow your horn tear down the walls There's a new world BEING born I saw Joan of Arc she was out in the streets I saw Joan of Arc she was out in the streets Said the youth are going lead them things are getting extreme come down Joe Hill It’s time to sing your song the rich are getting richer we ain’t getting along Come down St. Peter Come down and bang your drum time to start explaining about what’s been going down Come down Joe Strummer this is punk rock time. Come down Joe Strummer this is punk rock time. the future is unwritten gonna make it this time.

BELLS OF PONTECORVO The mist is on the valley and it hugs you like a shroud All across the Liri Valley Aa strange and haunting sound the bells of ponte corvo ringing through the town From the guns of Cassino or where children hide in caves to the bodies neath the olive trees it echoes down the way the bells of Pontecorvo ringing out today Compabasso to the Sangro Ortona across the Moro you hear the bells of Pontecorvo I remember your sweetheart I saw him break the Hitler Line But the fog was on the valley and I don’t know where he died The bells of ponte corvo were ringing down the line Memories are haunting Like the ghosts that will not fade and from this pleasant valley there are things I just can’t say And the bells ponte corvo are ringing out today

THEN ITS GOODNIGHT, GOODBYE AND PACK THE VAN BECAUSE MONDAY IT ALWAYS COMES TOO SOON. TIME FADES ALL GOOD THINGS EXCEPT THE PROMISE THAT YOU MADE TO BE TRUE. SO CINDERELLAS WE’VE GOT YOUR BACK AND WE’RE HERE TO SING THIS SONG FOR. WE’RE THE LAST WEDDING BAND THE LAST WEDDING BAND STANDING IN THE WORLD. AND WE’LL SING EVERY SONG EVERY SONG YOU’VE EVER HEARD. WE’RE THE LAST WEDDING BAND THE LAST WEDDING BAND STANDING IN THE WORLD. AND WE’LL SING EVERY SONG EVERY SONG YOU’VE EVER HEARD. SO DARLING, SAVE THE LAST SONG FOR ME.

10.	Close Your Eyes 04:53	lyrics	buy track
CLOSE YOUR EYES Close your eyes my darling daughter for you found your way home I know the road was long and weary but you never walked alone there is a light shining in the window And it shone right through the storm To welcome you my darling daughter To bring you so safely home. Close your eyes my darling daughter For the night is getting late Go to sleep and sleep in comfort For you are loved and you are safe. There is a light shining in the hallway To keep your cradle safe Just a lullaby for your dreaming And I promise the bough won’t break There is a light shining in the heavens And an Angel who calls your name And you’ll wake in the morning And I promise there’ll be no pain. And I promise there'll be no more pain.

There's a lot I could say about an album like this, which may not hit you over the head immediately, but will grow on you with subsequent listens. I am a musician myself, not a pro reviewer, but I can say that I know what I like, even if it be far from whatever genre is mine, and this one has to get a 'thumb's up' for the solid lyrics, great vocal performance, as a thing that comes across as emotionally honest. What else to say? Would love to see more like this. So, yep, thumb's up! ASD Productions
