    halie and the moon's first full-length album, "Blue Transmissions: vol. 1 & 2", immerses itself in a world of ephemeral beauty, love, and sweet melancholy in equal measures. "Otherworldly yet intimate, their aesthetic is a kind of catch-and-release, grounded in pop smarts and yet forever urging itself into the firmament. The result is a symphonic, atmospheric sound that is no less mysterious and thrilling for being entirely accessible." (Rick Levin, Eugene Weekly, 5/4/17).

In the Atmosphere Written by Daniel Gallo (drawing the sky music, BMI) Everything is all so clear Floating in the atmosphere Feel it twist inside your soul Wind it up and let it go And inside the shell Everything is just as well Floating in the atmosphere Everything is all so clear And when your star Sets in the night Just step to the left To get feeling alright ‘Cause I can be a radio Sing songs wherever you go I can be a factory Turn it into something sweet I can draw an aeroplane Take you on a holiday I can be your radio Sing songs wherever you go And when you’re sleep…sleeping alone Your heart never beat… beats on its own Can’t you hear the sound? Blue transmissions ringing out The static in the wire, it speaks Your angels come to town to sing All our yesterdays Are just antennas in the sky Touching the rain and the sea Giving us One to see Can’t you hear the sound?

Not Alone 03:55
Not Alone Written by Daniel Gallo (drawing the sky music, BMI) Mary sits and listens to the singer Leans into the sound and lets it linger Like a cool breeze Falling down upon your bee’s knees And what she takes is miles away But she’s not alone Mary sinks like a stone into the subway Rides it high in her eyes into a new day Like a trapeze Take her up into the sky please And what she takes is miles away But she’s not alone

Into the World Written by Daniel Gallo (drawing the sky music, BMI) He spoke you into the world On the edge of his tongue you see He was a crestfallen tapestry And the silk of you Wove something true When you came over the hill And he stumbled to profess Because sometimes the words they escape us When the light comes to save us And you... you... He wrote you into the blue On the edges of the sky you see Pulled treasure from a deep green sea And the world held you Like something true When you rose Over the hill A story from a stolen dream Dancing moonlight on his tapestry But could he believe something so true? Only light can escape through And you... you... you... you... He spoke you into the world.
4.
Cloudy People Written by Daniel Gallo (drawing the sky music, BMI) The birds in my neighborhood never had it so good They’re dreaming of another world frozen into A seed in the sky and they’re willing to try Without the fear of flying, but they’re trying to find Who left the daydream behind And you walk in streams of cloudy people And you hear the strain of “hallelujah” And you offer up a “won’t you help me, Jesus? I got a lot of things I’d like to sing you” So the mice in the man are making their plans To a far away holiday from circumstance So they bury the sky and they’re living inside And the cats are crawling, falling, Trying to find who’s inside of their minds You drink the dreams of cloudy people And you hear the strain of “hallelujah” And you offer up a “Won’t you help me Jesus? I’ve got a lot of things I’d like to sing you” But if your head’s in the clouds Why are you screaming so loud? And why ya screaming so loud When your head’s in the clouds? You walk in streams of cloudy people And you hear the strain of “hallelujah” And you offer up a “won’t you help me, Jesus? I got a lot of things I’d like to sing you” The birds in my neighborhood never had it so good They’re dreaming of another world frozen into A seed in the sky and they’re willing to try Without the fear of flying but they’re trying to find Who left the daydream behind

Sunday 04:41
Sunday Written by Daniel Gallo (drawing the sky music, BMI) You could almost taste the sky Walk the hardest mile Strain to see the blue You, an intimate design Painted in my mind Fallen from the new True, the colors fade in time Dance across the lines Strain to find a rule ... Beauty: You can’t save me And then it’s Sunday And all the saints are falling through the ceiling I think I’d rather play out on the freeway Or tune out all the noise and hang the D.J.s Tomorrow Lofts in on the curtains in the kitchen Breaking every promise of the mood that I’m in Then it’s Sunday again These words Stagger through the air Blindly, without care Crashing into you I could almost taste the sky Walk the hardest mile Just to be with you You can’t know what that means You who’ve never seen A sky so very blue ... Only you can save me And then it’s Sunday And all the saints are falling through the ceiling I think I’d rather play out on the freeway Or tune out all the noise and hang the D.J.s Tomorrow Lofts in on the curtains in the kitchen Breaking every promise of the mood that I’m in Then it’s Sunday again You could almost taste the sky Walk the hardest mile You, an intimate design Painted in my mind

33 Songs 05:50
33 Songs Written by Daniel Gallo (drawing the sky music, BMI) Blue eyes as soon as we said “How do you do?” 33 songs about the moon Writing me and you Caught the light from the side, and I knew the old fires burning down 33 songs about the moon Writing me and you So we say, “What’s in this day?” This blood don’t end In you and I and time descending This love is for everyone Alter the space and alter the time We built an altar to light then we set it on fire And left the candle wax flowing In every room we went through We’re not married to this world We’re not wed to this time We just marry the moon In this dance and this rhyme, and so 33 songs about the moon Writing me and you So we say, “This is the day…” That this blood don’t end In you and I and time descending This love is for everyone And this poetry Flowers and gods and the sea They’re coming to dream, to dream you and me Blue eyes as soon as we said “How do you do?” 33 songs about the moon Writing me and you That this blood don’t end In you and I and time descending This love is for everyone And this poetry Flowers and gods and the sea They’re coming to dream, to dream you and me

Winter 05:25
Winter Written by Daniel Gallo & Halie Loren (drawing the sky music, BMI | Jammin' Salmon Music, ASCAP) Love, won’t you sing a lullaby? White, naked as the winter snow Hey, can we give another try? It’s time to make our way home It’s time to be alone Time to hide away now Time to keep love alight Inside... Every love alight Love, can we find the other side Of this night, woven with silver hope? Stars falling with the morning light It’s time to make our way home It’s time to be alone Time to hide away now Time to keep love alight Inside... Every love alight Slowly, slowly ever marching Deeper into night Slowly, slowly ever arching Closer to the light Every love alight.

The Story (never told) Written by Daniel Gallo (drawing the sky music, BMI) I’m the girl outside your window painted blue Who holds the shadows, waves goodbye and shelters you Counts the leaves falling from your window pane And rains forever till it comes round back again You’re the boy that drops me down and picks me up Breaks the mirrors in the dark and calls it luck Lifts a hand to give the night a little something else Measures mornings with the light inside himself Well it’s high time that we stumbled to the city Don’t need a dime if we shine up all our pennies A high wire and an umbrella make a new day Somersaulting to the faces on the subway I’m the girl inside the book upon your shelf With all the mirrors, poetry inside herself A house of candles in the shadows burning bright Asking you to shed your skin and come inside You’re the boy that hears the wind across the town Weaves all of his words to turn the world around Stretches all his days like a canvass blue And hold it to the sky to see the light shine through Well it’s high time that we stumbled to the city Don’t need a dime if we shine up all our pennies A high wire and an umbrella make a new day Somersaulting to the faces on the subway We write the songs that we know we can believe in Send them to a place that we won’t receive them Cause baby that’s the only way that we know To send the sun shining through the stereo Because you tattooed your kisses in my mind The only true blue valentine And you know it cannot be denied That you’ve haunted my room with the hazel in your eyes We’re the story that the papers never told About the things we couldn’t buy and never sold We’re the honey dancing in the amber light Of frozen dreams and Sunday schemes and second sight Well it’s high time that we stumbled to the city Don’t need a dime if we shine up all our pennies A high wire and an umbrella make a new day Somersaulting to the faces on the subway We write the songs that we know we can believe in Send them to a place that we won’t receive them Cause baby that’s the only way that we know To send the sun shining through the stereo

Breathe 04:58
Breathe Written by Daniel Gallo (drawing the sky music, BMI) Head held to the side, you see him: Another wayward astronaut Smiling up through a paper cup Your fingers trace the smile, you see him Ripple dirty ponds in a muddy haze Check the high time for another day The skin you fall in to Weaving out the thunder clapping through A weary sky Breathe now baby Let the constellations take you And all and all the everything Is hanging on an ether swing Sink now baby Let the holy water bathe you And all and all the everything is hanging Within you Begin you What you gonna win From spinning stars into your eyes? Begin you Within you All you’ve got to know Is trace the glow Breathe now baby Let the constellations take you And all and all the everything Is hanging on an ether swing Sink now baby Let the holy water bathe you And all and all the everything is hanging Don’t you feel like a homeless balloon In someone else’s song, and you play along Can’t you sing like a homeless balloon in someone else’s song? Play... Breathe now baby Let the constellations take you And all and all the everything Is hanging on an ether swing Sink now baby Let the holy water bathe you And all and all the everything is hanging

Balloon 03:54
Balloon Written by Daniel Gallo (drawing the sky music, BMI) Hey, Did you get the news? I’m a balloon Floating to you To bathe Within Your skin Outside I’m high Like Venus above I’m cloudy like a velvet secret Hey, Did you get the news? I’m a balloon Floating to you
