Spinning Round 04:09
lyrics
I miss you so much I miss your touch And I'm Riding on a plane I feel so down I want to get high And I’ m Drowning in this rain Chorus: And I want to hear your voice You’ re whispering in my ear And I want to have a choice I want to have you near My paper is wet My teardrop reminds me Never to forget My seatbelts on tight I turn off my light I watch You disappear in the night I’ m spinning round and round 2X I’ m wondering if you care for me like I care for you

Nothing Seems To Last Around Here 03:13
lyrics
I ran away with the woman I loved We rand away to the promised land Big city dreams running through my head Big city magazines flipping through my hands Didn’ t understand when you whispered in my ear Nothing seems to last round here You were running away from your dad With you and your mom he had a heavy hand I came in to the store one night I closed the door and we turned out the light Didn’ t understand when you whispered in my ear Nothing seems to last round here Chorus: I don’ t know why we said goodbye I don’ t know how we lost those years We were meant to be lovers anywhere Anywhere but here Cause nothing seems to last round here You got a job keeping coffee warm I says that’ s fine but it’ s what you did before I had my days to roam around the roads Sit in the square watch the young and the old Now I understand when you whispered in my ear Nothing seems to last round here

Iowa 03:45
lyrics
In the middle, of 1989 My father my mother My sisters and I Stayed the night in Lincoln Or in some other town Where the tulips, grow all year round Driving through the fields of Iowa Trying to get to Waterloo tonight Kids are dreaming, windows down I never left you far behind The summers were long then the bugs lit up the night Catch one in a bottle It dims out the light Piano in the basement A mural on the wall We were all together We were all Driving through the fields of Iowa Trying to get to Waterloo tonight Kids are dreaming, windows down I never left you far behind And now we are together I wouldnt rather be anywhere And Im so happy Where we have come from

Running Away 03:20
lyrics
I'm Running Away, I'm Running Away There's Nothing Left for me to stay I'm tired of you breaking my heart That's why i'm running away, i'm running away I'm coming back just to get my things I don't really need to but I want to see If there's anything left in my heart That's why i'm running away i'm running away You give me nothing left to find but shattered pieces of my heart and empty shadows left in time That's why i'm running away this time Now that I have finally run away I see the world spinning around again I can't believe how long I stayed I'm running away, i'm running away

100 Lifetimes Away 03:51
lyrics
If you have ever been in love And you think you moved on Never really move on Never go back to the start When all love is gone Memory is still strong Think you are going to move on Moving with a broken heart A broken heart And your memory will fade You think you found a way And you'll find that memory you thought was yesterday Is now 100 lifetimes away If you have ever had a dream and you never moved on Never really moved on, after all feeling is gone Now you are all alone, You moved from your home Think you are going to move on, moving with a broken Heart A broken heart

Hotel Cafe 03:44
lyrics
Don't have too much money, And I read about life in Berlin Not that I don't like working, Don't like the job that i'm in My best friends a real estate agent, He gets out of work at 3 I might make more money, But its time that I need I cant believe I moved here Im leaving today Take me away to the Hotel Cafe, you wont see me around here no more My sister living in Denver, Just bought a new house with her man Im paying too much in Brooklyn, Feels like i'm living in a van Chorus Now that I live in LA and I don't have money for a car I'm so far from being a star, Im moving back to New York Chorus They won't let me play at the Hotel Cafe So I will be leaving here tonight

In Your Arms 04:33
lyrics
It wasn't long ago I was singing songs of a broken heart and drinking wine to cover the pain I thought you were gone, waited to long back to the start now you wipe my tears away Sometimes everything needs to fly away before there comes another day, Sometime you need to lose yourself And everything that's gone wrong and every song that I have sung For once Im right were where I belong Ever time you lose yourself Come back together and feel like someone else For once I am right where I belong Im in your arms When I was just a child I remember thinking What will I be when I grow? So many moons have passed, with me thinking, There is nothing left to show Sometimes everything needs to fly away before there comes another day, Sometime you need to lose yourself And everything that's gone wrong and every song that I have sung For once Im right were where I belong Ever time you lose yourself Come back together and feel like someone else For once I am right where I belong Im in your arms Im in your arms...is right where I want to be.

Floating Down The River 03:27
lyrics
When the sun shines Through the treelines With intentions true Feel my heart beat When Our eyes meet When Im close to you We will drift away from here So effortlessly Two hearts on a sphere Floating down the river In the evening The moon is thinking With intentions true Feel the yearning Wood is burning When I am close to you We will drift away from here So effortlessly Two hearts on a sphere Floating down the river

Write Myself A Letter 04:13
lyrics
Some day I am going to sit down and write myself a letter Make a list of everything that I have done Some day I am going to sit down and write myself a letter Thre will be some things that I have lost and won You dont have to cry The day when I die Just read my letter and remember who I am Some day I am going to sit down and write myself a symphony I will put in every emotion that I felt Some day I am going to sit down and write myself a symphony The audience and your heart will melt And you dont have to cry The day when I die Just read my letter and remember who I am Some day I am going to sit down and write my friends a song I will write one for every one of them Someday I am going to sit down and write my love a love song She will remember how true love begins And you dont have to cry The day when I die Just read my letter and remember who I am

Bio:
Americana duo Tyro Marks has have been described as "if Chance Gardner from the movie "Being There" had a a child with Willie Nelson and was then adopted by Wilco". -Dylan Wissing
They are releasing their first record entitled "Iowa" in November of 2010. To promote the record, they will be performing throughout the New York area as well as a touring in early 2011.
One-half Steven Cohen (co-founder of Skidmore Fountain), the other half, Laura Torma, Tyro Marks was born in Brooklyn in 2007. Steven Cohen, vocalist, guitarist and songwriter, was first inspired to put together the duo while driving cross-country from Arizona. Stopping in dusty old towns along the way, on warm, quiet nights under the Western stars, he sat with his guitar, his notepaper and pencil and sketched out his retrospectives on life and love. So much of what Steven wrote would become material for "Iowa". When Steven met Laura Torma, opera, folk, gospel and pop chameleon, at a karaoke competition in 2007, Steven had found the vocalist who would round out the sound he was searching for. 
Tyro Marks has performed at dozens of venues throughout New York City including the Living Room, Cameo Gallery and Jack's Coffee. They also did a short tour in Japan in 2009 and can be heard playing on radio RCB Novus Ordo. They are working hard on expanding their performances in festivals and special events throughout the US, as well as continuing to write music inspired by the great American songwriter of the past.

Steven Cohen:
Much like the Beastie Boys, Steven Cohen grew up in an orthodox Jewish home where Talmud rather than the arts were discussed around the dinner table. At the age of 12, Steven was injured by an explosion of his own making so that he had no vision for months. During this time, his ears and heart were opened up to the sound of music. 
With his Bar Mitzvah money, he bought a BC Rich guitar and would go on to play professionally from a young age at venues throughout the Denver, CO area. In addition to 90s grunge and Prog Rock, Steven also deeply absorbed the sounds of classical and Jazz through a full music scholarship to study classical guitar at the University of Arizona. Eventually he discovered the music of Bob Dylan, John Prine, Tom Waits, Irving Berlin, Willie Nelson and Johnny Cash which would make him decide to dedicate himself to the great American songwriting tradition.
Steven has performed throughout the US and Japan with Tyro Marks as well as a founding member of the now defunct group Skidmore Fountain. His songs have been featured on MTV as well as played throughout the country on college radio. Currently, his solos guitar works can be heard on display at the National Museum of American Jewish History in Philadelphia. He can be found playing throughout New York with his band, Tyro Marks.
