How are yah babe? oh I’m doing just fine Living life, can’t complain I’ve been sitting here for ten hours a day Taking the whole world in I’ve been thinking that it might be good for me I’ve been thinking that it might look good on me oh I’ve been jumping in feet first, head last The last thing I see is you I’ve been thinking about our happy end To float me through too much now I’ve been taking care where it’s allowed Clutching my mother’s feet I’ve been burning for love Been spending too long I’ll close my eyes till I find it I’ve been thinking that it might be good for me I’ve been thinking that it might look good on me I may die in debt But I’ll live out my dreams I may look still outside but I’m shaking underneath and I’m tired, unaware Scared of what’s in there Am I on your mind? Cause I’m doing just fine Am I on your mind? Cause I’m doing just fine.

I woke up this morning feeling like shit But I put on my hat cause I’m late to my shift I study in my dreams So I can get one more hour one more hour of sleep I remember all the things that I need to do But I forget to do the things that I need And I learned to lock the door cause someone stole the TV And I’m running around, running around hoping the world is waiting for me And I need to cry me a river And I need to slow it all down And I need to cry me a river But I can’t stop building dams I went down to the store and saw the man of my dreams And I planned the life I’ll live with him someday But I’d never say hello to him or even tell him my name Cause I’ve lived in dreams and don’t know what the hell I would do if you knew my name I gave my heart to you and then I ripped it away Now I’m trying to put back the broken pieces someway And I found the light in this place And I’ve grown so much in the last But I still need your help reaching things And I need to cry me a river And I need to slow it all down And I need to cry me a river But I can’t stop building dams And if I need to cry me that river I’ll remove the locks And I’ll open the gate And I’ll tear down the dam And I’ll cry me a lake

Red Moon 05:51
The moon is glowing outside The flood came creeping in And I’ve never felt so alive It’s funny how fast things can change But am I still not the same, am I still not the same When’s the last time you looked up When’s the last time you saw the stars in your eyes Deep down below The roots start to grow And one day it will dance in the breeze The leaves will float along To the season’s song And the branches will have to start a new And that’s the day that I’ll find you Sometimes I prefer to sit back And watch the magic women dance But most of the time I’m consumed In the heart of the melody And it beats through me and you I didn’t realize I was dragging Being pulled behind But then I looked up to the sky Now I’m flying My mind always brings me to you But I don’t want to dream about it Even when I know it’s true When’s the last time you looked up When’s the last time you saw the stars in your eyes Deep down below The roots start to grow And one day it will dance in the breeze The leaves will float along To the season’s song And the branches will have to start a new And that’s the day that I’ll find you That I’ll find you…

Falling 03:47
I’m falling… I’ve wrote the songs and I’ve cried the words I’ve been walking these streets for a long time I know the trees, the time of the traffic lights I’ve been lost but what does it mean to be found Do you know the truth in these lines? I’ve wrote the songs and I’ve cried the words Love is an easy choice for me Easy to trust, easy to get burned The trick is knowing when to leave The truth is dancing underneath I’ve wrote the songs and I’ve cried the words But I am right where I’m supposed to be I am right where I’m supposed to be I’ve wrote the songs and I’ve cried the words I’m falling...

Old Maid 03:43
I don’t want to mark another inch on the wall I don’t want to blow out another candle on the cake What’s your favorite street to walk? What’s your middle name? I wonder how you’ll make me laugh and tearful all the same I wonder if you’ll truly know me and I’ll know you the same way I won’t wait for the snow to melt and the flowers to bloom I can’t dream away this night, thinking about you What was the first bone to break? What gives you the blues? I wonder if you’ll see right through me and if I’ll see through you I wonder how you’ll convince me I’m better off with you And I’ll wait And I’ll wait I’ll wait for the day you walk in the room and I’ll look back smiling at you I’ll wait for the leaves to grow and die I’ll wait until I count all the stars in the sky I’ll wait for the day humans live on the moon For the day an old piano falls into tune I’ll wait for you And I’ll wait And I’ll wait I’ll wait for you

Walking down the same concrete bridge Wondering how I found myself here Last thing I knew I was driving through This whole new world, a whole new world Sitting on the same old bus Terrified that I’ll miss my stop But I never do Sometimes I wish I would I never thought that I would get so lost Coming home, coming home And I never dreamed for time to pass me by Please pass me by Walking like a zombie off to class Please don’t bother me listening to my same old tunes I’m trying to take this all in But I’m locked out of the house And my room’s a mess I never thought that I would get so lost Coming home, coming home And I never dreamed for time to pass me by Please pass me by And I’m confused by this

Moon Magic 03:33
I want to touch the moon I want to hold the magic and never let if fade And I want to be the ocean I want to be the thing that keeps it all afloat And I’m afraid That I’ll lose myself trying to obtain A safety net full of logic and maybe some regret And I just want to dance I want to scream out loud and never look back again And you are the moon You are the hope that gets me out of that fucking room And I’m afraid That I’ll lose myself trying to obtain A safety net full of logic and maybe some regret And I don’t want to admit to myself that I should have packed up my bags and walked right out of the room To go out and find all that is true to me And One day you’ll see We’ll be living not only in our dreams And one day we’ll be Singing about the good old days and who we used to be One day you’ll see One day we’ll be One day you’ll see One day we’ll be

I can’t recall when I learned how to dive in Always forgetting to bring my oxygen I feel my heart turning numb The cold is leaving my fingers And now it’s shaking my lungs I swore that I’d never get lost again Convinced that I found better ways Here I am searching for me again And it feels like I found something And it feels like I won nothing I don’t know what it means to give up I don’t know what it looks like to let go I don’t know what I don’t know I say that it all comes easily I say I was built for this I think it’s time for a new design I sense old cycles repeating I’m tired of the whiplash And I know some things to be true You my dear have the power to change you And it feels like I found something And it feels like I won nothing I don’t know what it means to give up I don’t know what it looks like to let go I don’t know what I don’t know

Goodnight 04:05
I’ve dreamt alone longer than I’d like I’ve held onto to something, a beautiful lie I’ve reckoned with reason too many times So I’ll lay my heart down and wish you goodnight I’ve seen the future, didn’t go quite like this But you’ll learn the lessons I promise you this You know how to love and you know to give So one day you’ll let go and let it be it Where does love go when it dies? Where does love go when it dies? Does it vanish, transfigure? Or run bitter inside. Where does love go when it dies? What if I don’t want it to go? What if I change? Say sorry. But I know That love won’t die between you and I So I’ll lay my heart down and say goodnight I’ll lay my heart down and say goodnight

about

Sabine Rain is learning how to wax and wane. Two years ago, the musician, activist and occupational therapist began writing a collection of songs chronicling the processes of letting go and looking forward that shaped her college years. Her music became somewhat of a diary, capturing two years of growth, reflection, loss, confusion, frustration, hope, silliness and love. “Moon Magic,” a long time in the making for the budding singer-songwriter, is a product of her honing her writing skills through displaying her raw, deeply felt emotions through her warm vocals and resonant acoustic guitar.

The Rochester, New York native attended Ithaca College, where, during her senior year in 2019, she enlisted the talent of friends to help bring “Moon Magic” to fruition. She worked with producers and engineers Nicky Young and Caleb Matheson to bring her creations to life. Nicole Marino, an Ithaca-based artist and crafter created the cover art, which reflects facets of Sabine’s personality the album is steeped in: With her head in the night sky, Sabine seeks solace and reckons with emotion through her music. “Moon Magic” records changes and growth over seasons and years as a young artist situates herself in a fraught world and infinite universe.
