Biography:
Bryan John Appleby is a singer-songwriter and composer living in Seattle, WA.
Appleby spent a winter and spring holed up with close friends in a Ballard warehouse banging pots, plucking strings, tapping mason jars, and plunking pianos. What emerged from these musical ramblings was the long-awaited debut full-length, Fire on the Vine. The album elaborates on his affinity for organic soundscapes and acoustic found sounds. And yet, the record remains accessible with lush, satisfying melodies.

C Am F C
She came in the night on the ninth of October
Am C F G C
They looked me in my red eyes and said she won't last
C Am F C
We all knew that she should've slept until mid-December
Am C F G C
When it comes to the lot I have learned, I can't count on the cast
F C
That night a vision came
F Am G
At the same time both vivid and vague
F Am
Of a father looking on
F Am G G
As he burns to the ground the house that he made
C Am F C
When I woke, I had been slain in the spirit of reason
Am C F G C
Bap-tized in the rolling dark waters of doubt
C Am F C
'Cause I'm told it's your will to withhold, but it feels like treason
Am C F G C
A rain cloud refusing to pour in a season of drought
F C
That night a vision came
F Am G
At the same time both vivid and vague
F Am
Of a father looking on
F Am G G
As he burns to the ground the house that he made
F C
And I heard him say
Am C
It was well on its way
F Am
Just look how it swayed
A# F
How it crumbled and caved
F C/G Am C
As the crimson glow of the fire caught his eye
F Am C G
I could tell he could hear, as well could I
F C Am C
That along with the crackle and growl of the fire
F Am G
Came a call quite small from inside--
G F Fm
I'm in here alive
C Am F C
But now, a child is born, she is bent but not broken
Am C F
A spark, a seed and a sprout
F7sus4 F
A miracle or catastrophe
Am C F
This child who's orphaned her family
