about

In the good winter of December, 2010, Tre Burt began working on his first full-length, which eventually has come to be named, "Little Mornings.". Tre recorded the record using a suitcase full of his friends' old recording equipment in various rooms in Sacramento and San Francisco, California.This eclectic collection of old songs lays down the groundwork for the future path Burt plans to travel. The album follows up his 2009, five track Ep release of "Paraplui".

Track Name: Music From The House Next Door
Waking up in the frost of the night time sky
I follow the noise to the room downstairs
Tip-toe so slowly on the face of the wooden floor
I wouldn't want to risk waking my parents up

O', the room is blue and white
O', the colors of the night

I don't know why, but the darkness does not scare me
I'm not sure why, but the darkness does not scare me

Walking onward in the mass of the blackness
I knock over the vase on the tabletop
The shattered glass has decorated the ground
Like a cluster of stars in a galaxy

O', here comes my mother
Picking me up and holding me tight
Tucking me back in my bed, she asked me why
I've gone astray, and I reply:

I could've sworn I heard music from the house next door
Track Name: Conundrums
Like a twig, I am thrown
In the cold for a dog to catch as his bone
And when i'm finally put to rest I could say
That it's one hell of a job
To try and convince a dog that it's all okay"

Like a leaf, I am blown
Out in the wind, till' i'm caught and it's a pocket I'm in
Cuz i'm shaped like a boy
That she's now rememberin'
But i've finally found a home
Until she calls back that boy on the phone

Like a cactus, I ask for nothing
But some water on occasion
Just enough to get by so that one day I could die
And eventually you'll say:
"Well who the hell needs a cactus anyway?"

Oh, I am tall as a tree
That you never ever did see comin'
And good luck trying to chop me to the ground
Cuz as far as I could tell
There ain't no need for a girl around

Well that's not true, but still,
You stay on the ground
Track Name: The Moon Cannot Be Stolen
Well, good evening, how are you?
I'm sorry, you surprised me too
I see you've traveled quite so far
to take the pennies from my money jar
Oh,
You thought you would be alone
Oh,
Be the king to my throne?

You wanna run but you can't
Because the grounds made of sand
You wanna hang from the trees
But you'll be hit from the breeze and you'll fall
Don't you wish that you could crawl down?

Oh,
You'll be surprised to hear me say
That you can take all my monies away
I don't need them anyway
You can steal what you want
And that would be okay

But the moon cannot be stolen
O', the moon cannot be stolen
O', the moon cannot be stolen
O', my moon cannot be stolen
Track Name: Circus Dreams
Look to your left and you will see that I have gone
"To the bathroom" you have thought but you know its been too long
and yet you try your best to convince yourself that nothing is wrong

Eating your buttered popcorn as you sit on-top your your seat
the kernels that have stabbed your gums and stuck between your teeth
are the only thing that's keeping you from noticing beneath,
that I am on a tricycle preparing to defeat the obstacle

But for you, is why I do these things
I know you love this place,
you have explained your circus dreams
I know its the clowns you love
but I think I found a way
for that clown to be
me

The lights are dim and the mood is grim
and a flaming hoop is ahead
it's fiery magnificence brings worries to my head
But I know that I must do this
so that you'll love me instead

The crowd and its anticipation
distracts me from my concentration
hands so tight on the handle
its a moment that you have to gamble
now, the bike that I stole possess all my soul
the guys are after me, looks like I'm 'bout to pay the toll

So here I go, up the ramp I roll
The fire hugs my body like a baby hugs it's doll
and I know that I'm a fool for this
but the paramedics are comin'
and I'm sure I'll get a kiss for
this
Track Name: Bleeding Colors
Putting on my overcoat, I button to the top
Blowing out the dying flame, I exit out the shop
Walking through the narrow streets, the pigeons know my name
Below my feet I feel the quiet murmurs of the train

Crossing the bridge that parts the village from the woods
Pollen from the flowers fills the air just like they should
Onward and upward to the mountainside
Creatures of the bushes start to show their tiny eyes

Nestling into the grass and thinking 'bout the past
the sinking Sun in front of me is quite a sight to see
Its glory took my breath away
With each and every golden beam and slightly yellow rays

Staring at the bleeding colors drip into the town below
The liquid light that shines so bright, shakes the hand of each window
Purple trees in front of me are lined with trims of gold
This water colored portrait, I don't see,
but I behold
Track Name: A Perfect Day
I'm gonna need my umbrella today
You see im going on a walk and im fearing it will rain

I'm not afraid of getting wet
But when I show up at your door, I don't wanna look a mess

But of course with my luck, the water begins to fall
But wait thats not all:

It starts to wind, it starts to hail
And the lightening doesn't fail to scare me, no
But thats okay cuz this is the first time I've really felt human in my life
And I'm still on my way
In fact I can see your house from where im standing
Yes I can

My knuckles tap on the wood of your door
And when you open you see and image of a pathetic optimist

Can you come out to play?
I know the weather's lookin' pretty rough
But im sure we'll have a ball

My, look at us in our wet shoes
And yet we're still stompin' in the puddles as if they were some bugs

But then the people from their cars
Seem to yell at us to get out of the street
But we're still in our dream and we ignore the many sneers
Cuz we're still young and free,
And that will never change because its the thrill of being alive that keeps us young

Looks like we're just in time for the lightening storm
In the stretch of the whole sky
The clouds assemble like troops

Let's run the the rooftop of your building
If we're going to watch a storm
Then we better do it right

The birds begin to flee
Because the fire of the sky begins to spit and shout

And now the town is in terror
And oh, our knees start to shake
The building starts to break,
But i don't care because this is the prettiest moment of my entire life
You break out in laughter
The building is falling faster, and faster, and faster
And faster

What a perfect day
Even with the weather i wouldn't want to spend it
In any other sort or kind of way

My only regret
Is that i brought my umbrella
Track Name: Around It Goes
Life may change,
But you can't change life
Love may grow,
But you can't grow love
Time may stop
But you can't stop time
And around it goes,
Around it goes

Ghost can touch you,
But you can't touch ghost
Fire can burn you,
But you can't burn fire
You can lose hope,
But hope can't lose you
And around it goes,
Around it goes
Track Name: A Visit By a Big-Time Marching Band
I can faintly hear the sound of a marching band approach my way
With their oboes and their french horns I could almost make my name
Trying to approach the marching band,
My bones begin to shake
As the mass amounts of the music sound,
The ground below slowly quakes

The confetti is thrown
The debris is so thick i could no longer see my home
I can stand on my own
The stampede of the legs will soon pass
And I will soon be left alone

I can faintly hear the sound of a marching band far away
No more oboes or their small flutes,
I think its safe to say
Track Name: A Shaken Snow Globe
Someone told me what I'm made of
Oh that scared me, now I'm afraid
Of my own skin
Of my own blood
Of my own bones
Of my own

Of my own hair
Of my own eyes
Of my own brain
Of my own

Spinning in my twin-sized bed
Baffled by all those thoughts in my head
Alone in all my twisted dreams
An astronaut enters the scene:

Oh rocket man, rocket man on the moon
I can hear you when you call my name
Oh rocket man, rocket man on the moon
When I hear you, am I insane?
Oh rocket man, rocket man on the moon
I can hear you when you call my name
Oh rocket man, rocket man on the moon
When I hear you, am I insane?

In all this time I've come to know
My mind is like a shaken snow globe,
Yes it is
Track Name: Before Now
Candles light the floor, and the dripping wax falls
And makes a mountain on the drawer
Now all is cool and still,
Except you and I, existing in our skin

Now I have never felt like I was anything but human
Before Now

The whispers from the stars
No question of who we are

(Instrumental)

Now I didn't mean to shed a tear
But the feeling I had felt, was that heaven was near
So many trees, so many trees, so many trees
Protecting this place like a castle wall
Now we have talked until those mountains of wax
have built a pillar to the ceiling

Now I have no regrets on leaving home to be with you
A gust of wind blows out the fire
and darkness fills the room

But there's no need to be afraid, just close your eyes
(I would never be afraid, if i'm with you)
But there's no need to be afraid

I know it's dark and we're alone, just hold me tight
(I would never feel alone, if i'm with you)
I know it's dark and we're alone, just hold me tight
Track Name: Good Soul
Ocean,
Let this good soul go
He did not mean no harm at all
just a stranger passing through
Admiring your black and your blue
Taking time to envy you

Hey buddy hit the deck
I'm afraid this water has gone to heck
It did not heed my plea, oh no sir
It wasn't shy to deny me this prayer
Now the waves are climbing the air

Now hopefully you'll find
A shining savior in the sky
Who's come to save you my friend
But God knows that you've done no good
In the past seven years or so

The waves start to crash in such a punishing way
The wood starts to break, and the gulls, they fly away
While the whales just laugh along because the man is
Only getting what he deserves
Track Name: The World Through Rose Colored Glasses
Apocalyptic, flying bombs
Terrorists who smother bliss
All fade to black

Yelling mobs with eyes of rage
Unemployed, without a coin
All start to change

And I don't know if time was meant to stay
But until this day, I'm still counting

Smell that breeze now, don't it smell so good?
Thick like smoke that's melting off the wood
Cobblestones that climb the old towns road

Then I hear:
The sound of heartbeats from someones chest
Through the beauty of night brings you to me

People all cheer on behalf of our love
And the mamas throw roses from windows above

Valleys are shown with the goldest of gold
And the town is patrolled by the brave and the bold

Wake up!
A voice interrupts my lucid dream
"Its time to rise and shine"
Don't dare try and stop what you can't see

Oh will they ever know?
will they ever know, what goes on inside my mind?
Will they ever know?
Will they ever know?
Will they ever?
No
Track Name: Young Like You
How fast do you think that humming bird is going?
I think I can catch it if it ever plans on slowing down
Oh, but I don' think it will

All these questions that arrive to your tongue
Are only words that can come from the young like you
And sometimes me too

"The stars of the sky look like a spilt jewelry box,
Tiny crystals or little grains of salt that
Stay in one place for all faces to see
Especially for me"

Waters of the mountain, continue to flow
Bulbs of the sun, continue to glow
But I hope that you do know
That my love for you will continue to grow
