The Lost Ark Studio presents "Written in Stone" by The Donnis Trio, the latest single from the Lost Ark Studio Compilation - Vol. 08. Enjoy!
The Donnis Trio consists of Nate Donnis, Phil Woodring, and Denis Sluka. The band began playing shows in various San Diego venues and then rented a desert house for a week for recording. Despite their intentions only a few tracks made it to the final album, the rest were re-recorded in various bedrooms and closets.
In early 2007, they released All Directions and did short tours up the CA coast. The CD received favorable reviews, found its way into the popular British TV Series Skins, and a growing fanbase on Pandora helped expose the band to new fans all over the world.
In April 2013 the band released the Cole Pond EP, a collection of Nate's childhood memories in Vermont and Upstate NY, with the songs capturing moments of peace and melancholy over an acoustic background.
lyrics
Written In Stone - The Donnis Trio
Whirling round this house,
Midnight we’ll run
Red stained lips
Have me wanting more than some
Beer drenched streets
Restless chitter chat
Walking fast, your hand rubbing my back
There you go, like it was written in stone
All the strings are falling off
Whispering in the dark
Listening to your song
All the strings are falling off
Taxi cab on main
Headlights flow like trains
Red shiny dress, makes me wonder the rest
There you go, like it was written in stone
All the strings are falling off
Whispering in the dark
Listening to your song
All the strings are falling off
All the strings are falling off
Whispering in the dark
Listening to your song
All the strings are falling off
