about

I wrote this song almost entirely on the drive up from LA to Sacramento, the day after lockdown had been declared, figuring it would be better to spend the foreseeable future of quarantine at my parents’ house with the rest of my family rather than alone in my apartment. It was very strange driving away from where I’ve lived for the past almost seven years, really having no idea when I’d be back. It was the right decision though, and I can’t imagine going through these past two months of uncertainty without my family surrounding me. Of course, this time has been all the more devastating for us with the loss of our beloved Auntie Kathi. This was the last new song of mine I sent her to hear, and it means a lot that it got her blessing. A couple of weeks after she passed, I needed to get back to finishing this track, but I needed some sort of closure for it that was more than just music, something that would tie it together for me emotionally. So for the first time on any recording of mine, I asked both of my parents and all three of my sisters if they would come up and sing on this song, which they all did. After losing someone so close to us so suddenly, having all of the rest of us together on this recording was one of the greatest gifts of healing I could ask for. The song explores the balance between uncertainty and certainty, endings and beginnings. I can’t wait for you to hear it!

lyrics

Until further notice
I will keep a safe distance from you
But if I should catch your eye
I won’t look away

Until further notice
I will wait within the shelter of my hiding place
But if you should lose your way
You’re welcome inside

Where we can sing about the sunshine
And rooms full of musical friends
While witnessing the wonder of the long night
And waiting for the world to end
Or maybe for it to begin

Until further notice
My whole universe exists within four walls
But if yours should fade away
You’re welcome in mine

Until further notice
I will keep a close watch on this heart of yours
Promise if you should see mine
You won’t look away

And we can dream about the sunshine
And rooms full of musical friends
While witnessing the wonder of the long night
And waiting for the world to end
Or maybe for it to begin

Until further notice

about

Adrian Bourgeois Burbank, California

"Just when a tune has ingratiated itself into your memory, in the way the kind of pop music does that inspires one to whistle, the melody sweeps upward, turning and dancing in that unpredictable way that a flock of birds does when it moves toward the sun." (SN&R)
"Lush with strings, angelic harmonies and melodies that swoop and soar like a hook-laden roller coaster"(Sacramento Bee)
