about

peacock lane is a quaint lane of tudor and english houses in se portland that has--for many many years--decked itself out to the nines for the holidays. when i was a girl, it was a christmas lights-viewing magnet for many but still a bit of a secret. now, it's crazy. helicopters, hordes of people, everything. in this song i imagined sneaking over there in the middle of the night for my own peaceful gawking (though i think they do turn off the lights at night and probably are desperate for some peace and quiet so don't go doing that, maybe).

lyrics

dark at midnight, all the people are gone
way past midnight, here the lights are all on
gold light green light blue light red on the lawn
down the lane and then to sleep

about

Rachel Taylor Brown Portland, Oregon

Rachel was born in Portland and lives nearby with her beloved husband Jay. She makes disturbing yet ultimately sensible songs you can sometimes dance to.

She sees loads of ugly and beauty in the world. Trying to capture that sweet and sour thing in a song is what she’s mostly trying to do.

She records with audio midwife and dear friend Jeff Stuart Saltzman and his cats.

Thanks for stopping by!
