I wake up myself missing time Never thought that it’d be like this one And we can’t believe anyone, no one Chaotic times making it strange I can’t stop now I’ll never give up I’ll keep on searching for what I want We’ve had enough downs Ruled by clowns They’re full of hate now Hope you’ll be safe and sound And we can’t believe anyone, no one yeah Chaotic times making it strange I can’t stop now I’ll never give up I’ll keep on searching for what I want We’ve had enough downs, ruled by clowns They’re full of hate now Hope you’ll be safe and sound I can’t stop now I’ll never give up I’ll keep on searching for what I want We’ve had enough downs, ruled by clowns They’re full of hate now Hope you’ll be safe and sound Hope you’ll be safe and sound Hope you’ll be safe and sound

Friends 03:41
I’m so glad I found you, I won’t let u go Feels like the world stop when I’m in your glow I wanted to tell you how I felt Instead then the song hit, and we’re both bent Then when the night falls don’t hurt me again Because all of the jealousy, it breaks up friends And I feel so in touch And I see all your love Can this be yea, yea, yea, yea, forever Can this be real baby forever My Light in the darkness, rubies diamonds and gold You’re the silver lining, don’t want to go home The city feels so cold now, but our blood stays warm Falling in love and heartbreak, forever yours Then when the night falls don’t hurt me again Because all of the jealousy, it breaks up friends And I feel so in touch And I see all your love Can this be yea, yea, yea, yea, forever Can this be real baby forever

Using Brakes 03:49
I like a ghost, a ghost Ghost doesn’t notice me Missing the coast, the coast Where nothing bothers me Things break around me I keep going, never knowing why Things fall down on me I keep growing, whether rain or shine Is this path set in stone Are brakes useless, if so Alone thinking of ghosts Please no one bother me Things break around me I keep going, never knowing why Things fall down on me I keep growing, whether rain or shine Things break around me I keep going, never knowing why Things fall down on me I keep growing, whether rain or shine Things break around me I keep going, never knowing why Things fall down on me I keep growing, whether rain or shine

Light Years 04:11
Thought I heard you call my name from a star Been light years waiting to come home in the dark And we don’t wanna fear the future, but we can’t help feeling alarmed Dream through these days I know change comes always So far away Light years in a day So far away You see a light year in a, a three six five days Tomorrow I’ll be moving on, transform and gun Light that’s gleaming through us, burning sun Dream through these days I know change comes always So far away Light years in a day So far away You see a light year in a, a three six five days So far away Light years in a day So far away You see a light year in a, a three six five days

Safe 03:34
In a car smoking your cigarettes You had sex on cassette and scrambled egg breakfast Polaroids frozen our time and space Showing aimlessly good taste, killing time in a relay All the same, thunder and sky You’re with me and I feel so safe Seven hills, driving at night The tape runs out and we flip to the b-side Elevator door opens, I shut my eyes Drunk I press rewind, disappear in orange blue lights Forty west cruising come back to life For a month we spent the night letting train tracks be our guide All the same, thunder and sky You’re with me and I feel so safe Seven hills, driving at night The tape runs out and we flip to the b-side

Time 02:49
Time standing still, what a thrill, what a high high Light bending mind, always worth the while, always green light I love what you were, who you are, and what you will be Time won't wait for you the way you think it should I don't want our future to move so slow All that we are is who we are when it feels good You hide in the way that you’re talking, oh oh oh oh woah Time moves so fast and we’re so slow, but all the highlights Find the daylight, always worth the while, always red light I Love what you were, who you are, and what you will be Time won't wait for you the way you think it should I don't want our future to move so slow All that we are is who we are when it feels good You hide in the way that you’re talking, oh oh oh oh woah

Like Stone 03:22
Said that I want the real love Sending the world a warning you wanted something But there cannot always be a way around it I lived in a world of the same things, then I heard something And I, and I was learning something Are we, are we getting somewhere I cannot help but feel love Here in my world that's turning we yearn for somethings And there can’t always be a way around it I lived in a world of the same things, then I heard something And I, and I was learning something Are we, are we getting somewhere I feel alone and you feel just like a stone Far away, I feel it everyday I feel just like a stone You feel just like my stone, just like a stone, just like a stone

One Thing 05:10
Crawling across this land My heart beats, I can’t get sleep in the night You’ve got me feeling twice as high, yeah With you I feel so right Yeah, cuz you’ve got something and it moves them all Yeah, cuz you changed everything and I catch your fall You can have anything, but if there is one thing at all We’ve got to pull through ups and downs, here we are dancing all night long Swimming through the sand Highlight a sacred place in my mind You got me feeling twice as nice, yeah With you I feel so right Yeah, cuz you’ve got something and it moves them all Yeah, cuz you changed everything and I catch your fall You can have anything, but if there is one thing at all We’ve got to pull through ups and downs, here we are dancing all night long No one, no one, no one, uh huh No one, no one, no one, uh huh No one, no one, no one, uh huh No one, no one, no one, uh huh No one, no one, no one, uh huh No one, no one, no one, uh huh No one, no one, no one, uh huh No one, no one, no one, uh huh No one, no one, no one, uh huh No one, no one, no one, uh huh

about

Over the years, Jacober has made a name for himself in Baltimore and beyond by drumming with various bands and performing his own music as a solo musician. Aside from his own work, David has recorded and toured extensively with Baltimore based, electronic musician and composer, Dan Deacon and recorded with Future Islands. Currently, David is drumming with Dope Body, Loris, Ed Schrader’s Music Beat, Scroll Downers, Nerftoss, and working on his 6th solo record, Light Years, while earning a MAT from Goucher College.

Light Years is the newest release from Jacober, the solo project of Dave Jacober featuring Tariq Ravelomanana (Infinity Knives / Loris) and Allison Clendaniel (of the ‘Mind On Fire’ collective). This record explores the ideas of growing pains and reluctant optimism through lush, multi-layered marimba and drum-driven compositions. Created after a time of intense personal change, this album is a look backwards from the initial stable moment after adversity. As defined by the International Astronomical Unit, a light-year is the distance that light travels in a vacuum in one Julian year. Aptly named, this record is a reflection on the distance the artist has traveled through to get back to the light and be here now.
