    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).

    Includes unlimited streaming of The Distance via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

lyrics

The Distance
When it was time for you to go, I didn’t try to change your mind,
We’ve been through all of this before and it makes no difference.
We could wish each other well, we could say we’re still close friends,
But we both know, that we’ll only share the distance.

I tried to help you pack your things, but then I stayed out of your way,
After all this time, I know when you need a moment.
Like the time you almost cried, I tried to hold you in the darkness,
You let me try, but then you told me you’d be all right.

Chorus:
How many times I tried, to figure out the answers,
Now we’ve run out of chances.
I tried to be the perfect confidant, but we kept too many secrets,
Now we only share the distance.

Did I imagine what we had, was this all in my head,
I thought we were all right –
when when I told you all my secrets
And now the day is finally here, with a whisper and a warning,
Now you have to go, and leave me here without you

Chorus:
How many times I tried, to figure out the answers,
Now we’ve run out of chances.
I tried to be the perfect confidant, but we kept too many secrets,
Now we only share the distance.
(break)
When it was time for you to go, I didn’t try to change your mind,
We both know, that we’ll only share the distance.
