“Sans” is a first-time listens: it is a home-recorded demo that has never been released, leaning heavily on Olsen’s arresting croon and lonesome guitar.
Time moves so strangely when you're moving all the time
Can't wait to see you, baby
When it's all through and you're mine
All we ever wanted was a heart that kept on trying
Searching for some magic
Free us from the thought of dying
[Chorus]
Well, I'm feeling kinda tired
But I know it's for the best
Even when you're dreaming, you're not getting any rest
Grasping at the meaning of a love to call my own
Wish it were as easy as just picking up the phone
Time moves so strangely when you're moving all the time
Can't wait to see you, baby
When it's all through and you're mine
All we ever wanted was a heart that kept on trying
Find myself some magic
Free us from the thought of dying
[Chorus]
Feeling kinda tired
But I know it's for the best
Even when you're dreaming, you're not getting any rest
In the darker hour when you're far away from home
Never sure exactly of the last time you were known
Wish it were as easy as just picking up the phone
Wish it were as easy as just picking up the phone
Time moves so strangely when you're moving all the time
Can't wait to see you, baby
When it's all through and you're mine
When it's all through and you're mine
When it's over and you're mine

“Sans” was a song I wrote in between Burn Your Fire and MY WOMAN*, something short and simple – but about a big thing in my life: travel and what it can do to the psyche. When you’re out there and you’re working and moving so fast it’s difficult to really imagine a time when you were fully realized...
