    Dayton’s Nick Kizirnis has made a new solo record unlike anything he’s recorded in the past. The Distance has an Americana, Alt-Country feel to it - imagine a cool Chris Isaak record, but with female lead vocals. Kate Wakefield from the band Lung provides brilliant vocals on The Distance, while Kizirnis, along with Crazy Joe Tritschler, Patrick Himes (Bribing Senators, Flyaway Minion), Tod Weidner (Shrug, Motel Beds) & drummer Mark Patterson (Son Volt), adds rich textures throughout the 11 Kizirnis originals and 2 cover songs by Lucinda Williams (Am I Too Blue) and Tom Waits (Take It With Me).

lyrics

The Beginning
We can’t erase - the path we’ve been walking,
Don’t lock the door – we’ve got nowhere to go,
Curses at night – I hear them calling,
My heart is lost – I’m living in sorrow.

You act surprised - when I catch you lying,
Like some dark soul - had stolen your tongue,
My backs to the wall - and you’re hardly trying,
Do what you want - but I’m not backing down.

Chorus
You used to look for new ways to inflict your misery,
And when I tried to talk you back down you made me an enemy,
I miss those peaceful nights back in the beginning,
You used to hold me as I slept at night, now I sleep alone.

I come home late - to stop complications,
I see your face - and the fight starts again,
We’ve grown so old – but love confrontation
We play this game – and so we can’t complain.

Chorus
You used to look for new ways to inflict your misery,
And when I tried to talk you back down you made me an enemy,
I miss those peaceful nights back in the beginning,
You used to hold me as I slept at night, now I sleep alone.
