about

The title track, is a whimsical and dreamy song with a guitar solo reminiscent of the sounds of Mark Knopfler or Joe Walsh. The inspiration for the lyrics came from a chance encounter with a freight hopping teenage girl in Philadelphia. After months of attempting to write a historically based fiction referencing train stations and small towns across the country, Marc found his pen and spirit released when he hypothetically paired his own remembered adventures and aspirations with hers.

lyrics

Naïve Lovers

We were young naïve lovers, out on the old highway
Riding freight trains, across the states
We were both bound to running, deserted quiet nights
To cleanse our hearts of small town minds

Our hair was dyed and dreaded and
Piercing jeweled her nose
We passed unknown like homeless folks
We heard the call and answered our destiny awaits
With souls on fire, we gave our chase

Chorus A: There’s no place where she ever long to be
B: Place when were old
A: Long enough to feel she ain’t free
B: Share all we know
A: Her blue eyes saw the world she gave to me
B: Her eyes saw the world
A: How I long to be the man she used to see
B: Salt to the earth


Our lives we bind in writing, adventures weighed in gold
The simple gifts, we watch unfold
Through the fallen leaves of winter
And summers warm return
The distant whistles our trains roll on.

I’d like to extend my deepest thanks and gratitude:
To my band mates, past and present, for their companionship and humor while living this musical journey. The smiles and laughter in our time together have brought me joy when joy seemed hard to come by. To my partner, James Rose, for his love and support over the past twelve years. To my father, the late Robert Silver, for his often unspoken, but deeply moving love and pride for me, and to my mother, Fran Silver, for her undeniably stubborn belief that everything I do is gold. To my sister and extended family, whose homes and hospitality have provided timely escapes to rejoice in life together. To Andrew Lipke for his constant optimism, enthusiasm, and vision: without him this project may not have seen its way to completion. To Sara and Jason Varney for their design consultation and to Jordan Rockford for late-night editing sessions and ongoing support. Finally, to all our friends and fans who have loved us, and our music through its various permutations.

Marc Silver & The Stonethrowers Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

“Marc Silver is living proof that singer/songwriters don’t need to shout outrageously shocking lyrical lines in order to attract well-deserved attention…His confessional songs draw you in, rather than drag you along… a truly noteworthy artist that walks quietly, but carries a big gift.” Dan MacIntosh, [Spin]

Marc works as a solo artist, and with his Bluegrass/Americana Band The Stonethrowers. ... more
