Julio Mora Max is something else, really. I had to purchase this not only because I said I would but because not owning a physical copy of this is a sin. I look forward to his future great works. Favorite track: Fall.

Evonity After a day of hard labor not many things are as pleasant to do then let your thoughts wander off to that little piece of paradise that's hidden in the back of your mind. All it takes are a few carefully composed and arranged songs, performed by a singer / songwriter with a clear and gentle voice. Favorite track: Winter.

Winter 05:27
The air is getting crisp My breath is a foggy mist Pinks and purples Reds and greys Paint the sky like an angel's face Falling leaves on the rough city streets How I love her grace And I know That Winter is coming home Always, I have felt renewed When she passes through Shows me life through her eyes And I see something new Doesn't waste time fitting in She makes her own rules This I know And Winter is coming home She turns the pond that we swam in the summer too cold She freezes over sometimes, then she's harder than stone But when she warms up to me She starts to fold And I love her more than the rest of the seasons I have known Snow has frosted the town Moon shines softly on the ground I've walked through forests at midnight beside her Silently speaking She is with me when I am awake And when I am sleeping This I know And Winter is coming home She turns the pond that we swam in the summer too cold She freezes over sometimes, then she's harder than stone But when she warms up to me She starts to fold And I love her more than the rest of the seasons I have known And Winter is coming home

Spring 03:42
Child of the sun A cousin to the moon Daughter of the earth She brings color to the trees And fills out all its leaves She melts the frozen stream Honeysuckle sap And wild berries grow She talks with the bees Who fill her hands with honey She is where she wants to be White has melted into green This is why they call her "Spring" Waking the frozen ground Shaking the snow from the trees Warming the air around Second chances come with Spring Dances in the rain Splashes in the mud Sings a song with bluejays and robins She shares much in common She's naturally honest

Summer 05:45
Heat arrived in town the morning spring had left And while I slept the day grew hotter Crabs crawled out from shells in the water Summer stood out like a nail that catches at your skin Porcelain on the outside, but she's dark within When I woke, I went down to the ocean front Planks of wood heaved and sighed With the coming of the rising tide I sat in the sand with my hands held up to block out blinding light When summer comes to town I don't feel right Oh, how the sun beats down and the leaves burn brown Oh, she is only proud when they're all dried out I knew of her a while ago through a friend Who said to me "don't get too close, She will burn you just like a piece of toast!" So I tried to keep my distance from the furnace, from her fire To avoid what was sure to be an ill-fated desire Oh, how the sun beats down and the leaves burn brown Oh, she is only proud when they're all dried out Still I wanted to hold her despite what he said I wasn't thinking clearly, wasn't using my head I held on to summer, her skin glowing red But I held on too long and she burned me I held on too long and she burned me Oh, how the sun beats down and the leaves burn brown Oh, she is only proud when they're all dried out

Fall 07:30
Gone and done, summer blues I hardly regret that they left so soon Fall's coming around the bend Talk about a woman who can brighten the light in the darkest room Soon, all will be right again See a flock of birds on high Heading north for the warmth in the blood red sky Feel the cooling of the air Trees bid their leaves goodbye As they float to the ground, and the piles rise Brittle branches, thin and bare She Acts like water to the fire Works all day and doesn't tire Knows that winter isn't far away Helps us stand and not surrender Bitter winds in cold December Fall is like a lighthouse in a storm Guiding all the ships back to port Little tune on her lips Birds that have stayed chirp and add to the mix Wind breathes through the evergreens Orange hues and fallen sticks Candlelight burning right down to their wicks Light breeze growing cold and mean She Acts like water to the fire Works all day and doesn't tire Knows that winter isn't far away Helps us stand and not surrender Bitter winds in cold December Fall is like a lighthouse in a storm Guiding all the ships back to port Lullaby autumn nights Winter has only but just arrived Fall is traveling down the road Little tear from her eye Falls to the ground and is turned into ice Somewhere close there's fading warmth She's been called to help it go

about

After the completion of my first EP, I felt lyrically stuck, like I was recycling the same old material. To find some new creative inspiration, I took a break from writing and thought about the things I connected to the most. I kept returning to my love for nature and the cycling of the four seasons. I thought about how I experience each season: the frost in Winter, the sometimes overwhelming heat in Summer, the calm of Fall, and the youthfulness and promise of Spring.

This EP tells the story of my emotional connection with each season. I anthropomorphized nature's unique character traits into women that have affected me. I hope you find your own special meaning in the words and music.

I'd like to thank Andrew Judah for his vision and talents as a musician and producer. Andrew helped me realize my vision and present it in a cohesive and professional way.

I'd like to thank Frank Bond, Louis van Sinderen, and Paul Bond, all wonderfully skilled musicians from the Netherlands, who helped me fill out the sonic landscape of "Fall." Frank and Louis are members of the band, AlascA, and Paul plays in a group called Dandelion. I urge you all to check out their music.

Lastly, I would like to thank my mother and father, who listened to this project throughout all it's various stages. Their feedback was instrumental in shaping the final product. And a huge thanks to all of YOU, my fans, who give me constant support and affirmation in my art. Your encouragement and kindness means so much to me. I hope you all enjoy this project.

-Max
