Poster Girl 02:34

poster girl hey, can you hear me? i’m the girl inside your head the one you compare the others to i’ve got long, blond hair blue bedroom stare and a body that i clipped from a magazine now there is something i should tell you, boy, about why you’re so unhappy it’s that who you want and who you have are never the same girl so i think you should stay with me and stop your restless searching because i’m right here in your brain and i get lonely when you look away, hunting through crowded aisles and checkout lines burning up and losing time to this sad longing you hide it’s keeping us apart your foolish flaming heart

Well Wishing 02:57
lyrics

well-wishing You have gone Away to the place Where you don’t mind That my care for you has run out No more stinging bellies No more insomnia Or walking around Wondering what happened I liked you better When you were sick and dying The nights of fevered dreams Ripping at the seams For me. Curse my selfish schemes. I have gone Away to the place Where I don’t mind That your care for me has run out But I can’t seem to reconcile The you that I knew With the one that hides From me, unwilling To see someone you want Forgotten I want to wish you well. I’m getting tired Of breaking down And building up You can see What it’s done To me, so close The door and keep it shut. I was so sick to the touch But the fever is down. It was only a matter of time Before it fell. I want to wish you well, baby But I can’t.

Starlight Drive is the work of DC indie songwriter Jared Featherstone in collaboration with several similarly afflicted friends. The songs are contemplative and sometimes dark, but always seem to have a hopeful thread holding everything together. Acoustic guitars are balanced by the atmosphere of subtle keyboards and backing vocals. A practicing fiction writer, Featherstone brings a literary element to the lyrics, weaving in images and ideas that provoke thought without weighing down the songs.

Reviews by press and fans have compared Starlight Drive to Sufjan Stevens, Elliott Smith, My Bloody Valentine, Death Cab for Cutie, Red House Painters, Pernice Brothers, Slowdive, and Iron and Wine.

Featherstone was one of the founders of long-running D.C. shoegaze/powerdrone band Zoothead, who was signed to D.C.’s hip DeepReverb Records in 1996, releasing two full-length CDs and a 7-inch single. He also played with Davis White (Lorelei) in the Alice Despard Group.

More recently, he played with D.C. heroes Washington Social Club, who had songs placed on HBO, ABC, and the CW. With the Social Club, he performed at festivals like South by Southwest and CMJ and with bands like Klaxons, All American Rejects, Georgie James, Matthew Sweet, Donnie Hue and the Colors, Coldplay, Foo Fighters, and Interpol.

After spending over decade making music in the nation’s capitol, Featherstone continues to develop as an indie singer/songwriter in Staunton, VA.
