I find that I must carry on We are just waiting on the dawn Trying to cross the stormy seas Trying to find our way back home Our ships have taken battered hulls The scars of when we've faltered and we've fell Marching on amongst the waves Marching ever forward still Keep my head held to the sky And follow constellations to the things I left behind Years spent at sea are taking their toll on me And when we come back to our land We'll hold it in our tired hands We'll find a rock upon the shore Welcomed back by our family and our friends Keep my head held to the sky And follow constellations to the things I left behind Years spent at sea are taking their toll on me

On the stone steps outside the seminary, you showed me the dangers that this world holds With each one that passed us we drew in closer I stopped for fear of being too bold Though I had wandered, I was not quite lost The words on your collar, they told me the same thing That I had once known, that I had once lost As the night drew onward you showed me the photographs reproduced flawlessly by your hand You told me your fears, though I did not ask you You told me secrets about my friends Though I had wondered, I could not ask Though you had not known me, you had opened I stopped to think whether I could back Though I had wandered, I was not quite lost The words on your collar, they told me the same thing That I had once known, that I had once lost

about

Take It With You is a collaborative effort between Waiting on the Dawn, Phalon Thornhill, and Sister Vigilante. It features 8 songs about being lost, being found, and the in-betweens.

Take It With You was recorded in two sessions surrounding a hurricane in late October / early November 2012 in Haledon, New Jersey.

Waiting on the Dawn combines influences such as Neutral Milk Hotel, Sufjan Stevens, and River City Extension, into a sound that fully embraces the folk-rock revival of the 2010's. Diverse instrumentation, lyrics which venture into the concrete and the abstract, and a hint of remembrance all come together in your speakers (or earphones, if you have roommates.)

Phalon Thornhill is an English major and aspiring songwriter who has spent her entire life dedicated to the arts. Time after her studies is spent strumming away on her guitar and writing songs. Her sound is inspired by Corrine Bailey Rae, Troi, and Zee Avi.

Sister Vigilante is a crime fighting nun who records music in her spare time. When she isn't off performing miracles in third world countries, she is usually found making music comparable to Regina Spektor, Bon Iver, Say Anything, and Mumford & Sons. Also, Lamb of God and Meshuggah.
