Bio::

Inspired by the Herman Wouk novel of the same name, Youngblood Hawke was born out of late night creative musings between longtime friends Sam Martin and Simon Katz. Exhausted by two years of touring with their former band and the general turbulence that comes with music industry success, Martin and Katz looked for a more simple creative outlet where they could write and share music with friends and family without commercial pressures. Katz's longtime friend Tasso Smith moved to Los Angeles from Texas to join the band when he heard the first demos, and Alice Katz, who was a key part of the original songwriting sessions, joined as well. To round out the lineup they recruited drummer and friend Nik Hughes. They are currently finishing up their first self-titled album due out 2011.

Youngblood Hawke captures the sound of 5 friends in mid-journey. It is the snapshot of a state of mind where one mountain has been climbed, and there are more in the distance. But for right now, the view is beautiful.

Track Name: Rootless
Rootless

The world is feeling warmer
the path rollin to your door is a jungle
Ill be back because I never left

Down the dirty sidewalks stream
dressed in their finest dreams
all the gold and revelry
like the ghosts of new orleans

pupils bigger than the canyons in the sea
darlin what would you do
if you were me
if you were me
twisting in the vines
hoping that you will see

Im feeling Rootless
in my wandering mind
time is moving
its moving

I see you creep into my room like smoke
under my door
I can feel you in my throat
You aint no good but youre good enough
Ill give you all my time, but not my love

Cause Im trying to bring it home
and youre standing in my way
bandits with red handkerchiefs covering their face
It takes a whole lot to shake
don't get caught up in the time spent
your walkin round in circles
asking where the time went

Im feeling Rootless
in my wandering mind
time is moving
while im feeling rootless
without you I am rootless
I am moving

Im feelin rootless so I keep on moving
Im feeling rootless so I keep on moving on

Im feeling Rootless
in my wandering mind
time is moving
while im feeling rootless
without you I am rootless
I am moving
Track Name: Dannyboy
Dannyboy

Wake Up!
Wake Up!

Too young to be scared
optimistic
tell the truth she don't care
locks her lips
She ke-ga-go
ke-ga-go
She got over my head
So wake up you dreamy boy

Youre harnessing a giant
and your painting on my wings
in red paint
and my wings are feather white
police sirens
I see an angel shooting a movie
on my street

Wake up Danny boy!
Theres a world outside
a world outside
a world outside
Wake up Dannyboy!
Theres a world outside
a world outside your window

Wake Up!

You cant force change
or change the path
You just have to walk home
and through the woods at night
with red wolves
glacially slow
no one sees me moving but you
so long my friend
i think its time you try again
to wake up

Wake up Danny boy!
Theres a world outside
a world outside
a world outside
Wake up Dannyboy!
Theres a world outside
a world outside your window

a world outside
a world outside
Wake up Dannyboy!
Theres a world outside
a world outside your window
your window
your window

Wake Up!
Wake Up!

Wake up Danny boy!
Theres a world outside
a world outside
a world outside
Wake up Dannyboy!
Theres a world outside
a world outside your window

a world outside
a world outside
Wake up Dannyboy!
Theres a world outside
a world outside your window
your window
your window
Track Name: Forever
Forever

You say you wont wait forever on me
but I wouldn't make you wait that long

Sang drunk in my room geronimo!
Like an old great singer throat full of smoke
Shut the door to the attic made myself a home
I pay no attention to whats down below
cause I don't want to break the bars
If I run they'll be a bust
cause theres dogs on my tail
but my tracks are in the mud
and your Commanche spirit thats afraid to fail
do everything you can now or you never will

You say you wont wait forever on me
but I wouldn't make you wait that long
You say you wont wait forever on me
but I wouldn't make you wait that long

So I followed all the trails to monaco
Who the hell am I to tell you where to go?
smokestacks and chimneys billow from my chest
breaking into the house just to see whats left
cause time is watching all of us
and we all have the time
its always on your mind
its always on my mind

You say you wont wait forever on me
but I wouldn't make you wait that long

So don't you get scared
scared of nothing
cause Im staying right here
Don't be afraid
Cause I wont leave you all alone

You say you wont wait forever on me
but I wouldn't make you wait that long
You say you wont wait forever on me
but I wouldn't make you wait that long
Track Name: In Our Blood
IN OUR BLOOD

We are just at the beginning
just at the beginning
We are obviously winning
obviously winning
Its in our blood
Its in our blood

Youre sitting outside
with the city far below
Your eyes are welling up
decide to let it go
No point in being down
its a choice that you make
if it wasn't for your sister, baby, youd be far away
but you live down the block
so you can keep her safe
washing dishes in the evening
while you whistle all the way
do it for the way it makes your heart beat, rage, and burst
when were all living like this
you know it wont get worse

Its in our blood, its in our blood
we all want some
its in our blood, its in our blood

Burn the hills down to defeat it
till its hidden and retreated
run boy, run boy
you know that you see it
follow every passage way
till you pick your place to stay
till then run like hell towards the things
that make a person great.

We are just at the beginning
just at the beginning
We are obviously winning
obviously winning

we all want some
its in our blood, its in our blood
we all need some
its in our blood, its in our blood

We are just at the beginning
just at the beginning
We are obviously winning
obviously winning
Track Name: Glacier
GLACIER

Wailin wind is ripping off my windows
expose sky to me
friends of mine swim so far
that they cant be reached
leave a little in your wayside wake

From the islands that weve crossed
to the time we think weve lost
from the cages to the castles that well make
from the islands that weve crossed
we shake the water off
like a silver glacier slowly shrinks away

Saw it in the newspaper
write whatever you like
every single word that is on your mind
every single time that you feel inclined
you have to unwind

From the islands that weve crossed
to the time we think weve lost
from the cages to the castles that well make
from the islands that weve crossed
we shake the water off
like a silver glacier slowly shrinks away

I never saw you
I never saw you leave
I never saw you
I thought you'd see me
I never saw you
I never saw you leave
oh oh oh
oh oh oh

From the islands that weve crossed
to the time we think weve lost
from the cages to the castles that well make
from the islands that weve crossed
we shake the water off
like a silver glacier slowly shrinks away

From the islands that weve crossed
to the time we think weve lost
from the cages to the castles that well make
from the islands that weve crossed
we shake the water off
like a silver glacier slowly shrinks away
Track Name: Come Looking
Come Lookin

Should I take the only
road outta town?
these weary legs
have been walking for so long, yea
should I take the only
train leavin now?
this weary heart
has been beating so hard

so come looking
when your lost
cause theres no bridge I havnt crossed
and you don't pay that cost
on your own, no

No I wont say, No I wont say
that you made this on your own
theres a desert all around us
and you don't cross the sands alone

Should I be a gambling man?
I feel its in my blood
I cant resist it
it does me no good
Theres politics raging in my gut
its an undecided war
I hope it settles
but I don't think it could

so come looking
when your lost
cause theres no bridge I havnt crossed
and you don't pay that cost
on your own, no

No I wont say, No I wont say
that you made this on your own
theres a desert all around us
and you don't cross the sands alone

You don't cross the sands alone!
You don't cross the sands alone!
The sands alone!
The sands alone!
The sands alone!
The sands alone!

Its further to go back where you were
yea I am sure
that you should keep on moving forward
cause it'll be much harder to
retrace your steps
the wind left nothing left
so you should keep on moving forward and
don't you turn around again

No I wont say, No I wont say
that you made this on your own
theres a desert all around us
and you don't cross the sand alone
