Hey girl, what d'you know about me? Do you know what you are missing? Dress me up in a suit and tie And I'm sure that you would listen But I won't change a thing about me Now that I know all your intentions If I could tell you just one thing Then I'd remind you you're just like me Hey girl, what'd you hear about me? And how bad did you want to believe it? And in spite of all your better judgment You couldn't help but add fuel to feed it And now that this silence consumes us It feels as though we've been beaten If I could tell you just one thing Then I'd remind you you're just like me Our fates are sealed unremarkably But time will heal what's wrong with me You'll coming running back We'll repeat the past Hopefully this time around It's better than the last Hey girl, what d'you know about me? Do you know what you are missing? Dress me up in a suit and tie And I'm sure that you would listen If I could tell you just one thing Then I'd remind you you're just like me Our fates are sealed unremarkably But time will heal what's wrong with me You'll coming running back We'll repeat the past Hopefully this time around It's better than the last When we come running back Will I repeat the past? Hopefully this time around I won't even have to ask

Mountains 04:25
When the fog lifted off I saw the rolling hills up ahead Sloping gently down down To Hangman's Hollow All the while in the distance I could hear Beartooth Mountain and the song that it sang So alluring sent chills up my spine In Hangman's Hollow Beat up old barns and broken down cars Creeks with flat tires and mountains inspire Here we are Underneath the blue sky Come so far I can see our old life Fine by me I'm content to be here Til the sun fades into the twilight I lit my last cigarette Sent some clouds off to its peak The snow felt so cold in the air Above Hangman's Hollow Beat up old barns and broken down cars Creeks with flat tires and mountains inspire Here we are Underneath the blue sky Come so far I can see our old life Fine by me I'm content to be here Til the sun fades into the twilight

New York 03:51
City you move me As I watch from my window All your colors run through me As the cabs roam the streets below City you feel alive As we ride on the train Take me anywhere, anywhere, anywhere I’ll be the blood in your veins And I thought that you should know A love like this Is sure to endure I’ll come back in time New York City I’m yours Safe in your arms You’ve kept me in line No cause for alarm New York City you’re mine City you soothe me From my chair on the roof All your sounds like a lullabye sweet lullabye Let my dreams be the proof City you’ve seen enough To fill your own library up With all the stories you’ve written just listen You’ve taught and you’ve learned And i thought that you should know A love like this Is sure to endure I’ll come back in time New York City I’m yours Safe in your arms You’ve kept me in line No cause for alarm New York City you’re mine I’d sell my California dream For half what it’s worth just to get back to you And to feel anything real To see the people I love and remember to breathe

Love Destroyer (free) 03:37
Breathe in the night air Feel alive there's so much out there Forget this nightmare It won't be hard to make me disappear I'm a love, love, love destroyer I'm a love, love, love destroyer There's got to be somebody better for ya Cause I'm a love, love, love destroyer Never call when I say I will Probably drinking or looking for a cheap thrill Keep you hanging with these kind words Then cut you loose you girls will never learn I'm a love, love, love destroyer I'm a love, love, love destroyer There's got to be somebody better for ya Cause I'm a love, love, love destroyer I can see the smoke From the burning in the hills There's a couple fires I've lit myself to contend with Always leave by the cover of night Would you believe it's a shameless delight I'm a love, love, love destroyer I'm a love, love, love destroyer There's got to be somebody better for ya Cause I'm a love, love, love destroyer I'm a love, love, love destroyer

You've painted me in such a favorable light Hard to recognize, my face has lost the fight Fresh on the heels of a song in the night As your voice resolves, easing my mind This time around I won't burn the bridge to stay warm So in a departure from norms I'll mean what I say When we weather those storms we'll still be ok Given the climate and the time that it takes This time around I won't burn the bridge to stay warm Easy conversation, the words are never out of place Transcending all the miles that separate the two of us This time around I won't burn the bridge to stay warm So in a departure from norms I'll mean what I say When we weather those storms we'll still be ok Given the climate and the time that it takes This time around I won't burn the bridge to stay warm All the things I could say to you Have been said before me Much more cleverly

about

"This L.A.-based duo calls their music "cello rock," but Rasputina they ain't - their folksy, harmony-laced songs more closely resemble the radio-friendly soft rock of the Fray or the emotive "newgrass" of the Avett Brothers."
METROMIX

"Love Destroyer is just the thing for a quiet day in December. The lovely pop-rock melodies have a hushed quality and a lucid stillness that imparts wintry calm."
MTV IGGY

"Oak and Gorski have taken cello rock to an entirely different level, blending the classical melancholy of the cello with the soulful strings of the guitar to produce music that is simultaneously haunting and catchy."
THE AMHERST STUDENT

"As listeners you will feel every gorgeous cello note created, wrapping itself around the warmth of Ken Oaks vocals, combining to make "If I Could Tell You" absolutely distinct and uplifting. The track comes from Oak & Gorski's upcoming fourth studio album Love, Destroyer."
INDIE ROCK REVIEWS

"The best band you've never heard of. Love Destroyer's melodic harmonies and scriptive lyrics allow you to transpire to another world. Let's hope this is the year of the cello."
944.COM

"The album really depicts the ups and downs of life, and how everything balances out to be beautiful."
THE DELI MAGAZINE

"A record of genius."
ENOCH MAGAZINE

"Love Destroyer is a very good album...the music takes hold of you"
THE CELEBRITY CAFE

"Love Destroyer shows originality while showcasing the duo's talent and promises that although the duo are already on their fouth album, Oak & Gorski are just getting started."
ADDICTED TO SHOWS

"Oak & Gorski have the catchy pop/rock acoustics mixed with the quick strokes of a bow and the soft lyrical vocals that will bring them to the top in 2011."
POPTIMES MAGAZINE

"Oak & Gorski's harmonies and songwriting will take you into the soothing world they have created for you. With inspiration from Ryan Adams, Depeche Mode and the Indigo Girls you can feel their diverse musical backgrounds come together, creating something completely incomparable."
