Out on the Mountainside
V1
I been hard-drinking to the sound
Of the cold hard rain falling from your cloud
And watching shadows pass along the ground
Spirits rising from the shroud
C1
Now you can find me
Out on the mountainside
I’m picking up the pieces (of) broken sky
B1 (mini-bridge)
I'm not picking a fight, I'm just telling it like it is
V2
Kick me again, I won't go down
Like a cold hard rain try to break the stone
Valleys echoing the sound
My spirit rising up alone
C2
Now you can find me
Out on the mountainside
I’m picking up the pieces, broken sky
B2
I'm not picking a fight, I'm just telling it like it is, like it is
I gave you a bucket for you to carry the tune
Then I just said fuck it, the melody left in ruin, left in ruin
C3
Now you can find me
Out on the mountainside
I’m picking up the pieces, broken sky
(The Forest Effect. Lyrics - E. Page)

Constellations on Display
When we felt like kids
living on the beach
The ocean knows our secrets
She will never tell
Constellations on display
Chandeliers above the bay
I lost my way
but it's coming back to me
Ch:
Maybe there's an island in the sun
Where the sand washes clean clean our regrets
Where only the ocean knows our secrets
We're just lost in America
Our love keeps crashing
a cruel dead set surf
if we lose our way
we whisper to the waves
Ch:
Maybe there's an island in the sun
Where the sand washes clean clean our regrets
Where only the ocean knows our secrets
We're just kids in America
Maybe there's an island just for us
Where the sand washes clean our regrets
Where only the ocean knows our secrets
We're just lost in America
Lost in America
(The Forest Effect. Lyrics - E. Page)

From the Otherside
V1 -
When we meet for the first time
Won’t you sing this song to me so I know it's you
Heaven's harmonies, I hear them all around
We never said goodbye
You try to teach my heart to do the listening
I hear you flutter in and out
A signal on the wire
C1
Climb these stairs w/ me up to the night She's shining from the other side
She will wait for us to die Climb, we'll light the moon
V2 -
Some things are meant to be
Laughter from a child, and a brother's love
Like your leaving us, we know you could not stay
You know how to reach us yeah
Shining from the other side. You left no memories
But such a presence dear
I hear it in the maple trees. Yeah they never stop singing
C2
Climb these stairs w/ me up to the night She's shining from the other side
She will wait for us to die The heavens harmonize Climb, we'll light the moon
(The Forest Effect. Lyrics - E. Page)

Roses or Nails
V1
Part time pagan god or a lost cause
Part whole truth, part nothing but fiction
Two poles to your magnetic story
C1
Now you're up above the valley
You will fly til the floor rushes right up to meet you
Now you're down below the ocean
You will lie in your bed, be it roses or nails
V2
Your two halves scare off a mirror
No wicked bitch like Orthos
It's all in your heads
I never called you a monster
I promise you that
C2
Now you're up above the valley
You will fly til the floor rushes right up to meet you
Now you're down below the ocean
You will lie in your bed, be it roses or nails
(The Forest Effect. Lyrics - E. Page)

The Forest Effect Arlington, Massachusetts
Intentional / impactful Boston indie rock band led by vocalist/guitarist Elliot Page.
The music of The
Forest Effect is an interplay of light and dark tones, like capturing the way the late-afternoon light filters through the layers of the forest. They’ve been described as “if the guys from Dismemberment Plan met up at Wilco’s loft to play some Pink Floyd and The Black Crowes covers.”
