From The Typical Johnsons – This song is about commemorating a moment, this is our stand alone single, Wreckage. This is for all of us who have crashed through our collective pasts, hopefully with enough force to have created a memory and a story that stands the test of time…
Here is the song!
We’re still here… not knowing anything and doing it all wrong.
We are excited to introduce you to the first single and title track off of the forthcoming album, “Pardon Me”!! The song is available for purchase on iTunes and all download and streaming platforms.

“Pardon Me”
I’m hungry for a line
Haven’t slept in weeks
This new found consciousness
Is driving me to think
My eyes have never been this open
But I don’t like what I see
I’ll be driving through your town
On my way to Winnipeg
I should be there by sun down
I could use a place to stay
It be so nice to see you
If that’s ok
But pardon me
If I make for poor company tonight
The road can way heavy on a mind
I apologize if the conversations light
So pardon me
I’m so tired of walking
Down this crowded road
Full of loss souls and conmen
And broken heart winos
All watching the pretty ones
Light up the night
Do you still have that old
Simply Red 45
Put it on and I’ll pour us
A couple glasses of wine
We can hold back the years
If only for awhile
But pardon me
If I make for poor company tonight
The road can way heavy on a mind
I apologize if the conversations light
So pardon me
If you don’t know the man in front of you
You know I struggle to recognize him to
A hard luck modern day fool
Sol pardon me
Is it a blessing
To finally know the truth
Or is it a curse
To know the real you
So pardon me
If I make for poor company tonight
The road can weigh heavy on a mind
I apologize if the concessions light
So pardon me
If you don’t know the man in front of you
You know I struggle to recognize him to
A hard luck modern day fool
So pardon me
So pardon me
So pardon me
‘Living to Infinity’ is the first single from the ‘Further In and Farther Out’ LP by The Boxcar Suite, due out on Magnaphone Records on April 28, 2018.
Lyrics: she’s in her white dress, she doesn’t have any shoes on, she’s standing at the end of the driveway, watching the sun set, she’s been dreaming of places much better than here, somewhere west… she said “can you take me for a ride, I want to get the hell out of this little town, and make a name for myself” she’s in her white dress, she’s waiting on her new boyfriend, she’s standing at the end of the driveway, watching the cars pass, she envisions a place much better than here, somewhere west… she said “can you take me for a ride, I want to get the hell out of this little town, and make a name for myself” she’s dreaming of the west coast, she’s got a gun in her hand, she said “baby you’re like magic tonight, with tattoos and pentagrams” she’s dreaming of the west coast, she’s got a gun in her hand, she said “I’ll write this down this time, so I wont ever forget”
