Let’s sleep together every night Any bed, any floor, anywhere’s alright Let’s let our bodies reunite Oh, let's stay up just talking till daylight Let’s whisper on train rides And metal birds in the sky Let’s be madly honest Yeah, let’s keep every promise Let’s go out and see the world And just try to understand how this mess unfurled Let’s make reality swirl Having wine and psilocybes, laughing till we hurl You can teach me your languages I can teach you chord changes We can just do whatever forever and ever And never get tired whatsoever Don’t wanna have a brilliant ballad about a girl who got away I’d rather write a simple song about a girl who came to stay I’m in love with your ideals If you only knew how many arguments of yours I steal And I admire what you feel It’s always so good willed, so beautiful, so real Getting old and ugly Has never sounded so lovely When every evil gives a scare too much to bare You’ll be there to remind me there’s beauty still everywhere Don’t wanna spend a lifetime singing about a girl who got away I’d rather live a life of singing to the girl who came to stay

about

“It’s a wistful little folk tune delightfully free from the cynical irony that has become the albatross hanging around my generation’s tattooed neck, and the sheer joy expressed by the duo comprised of Jesse Strickman and Leiya Mahoney is hard to come by without sounding corny or insincere in the process. Their pretty, understated harmonies can convince even the most jaded millennial that these feelings are for real.”
- The Bay Bridged

about

Willow Steps Oakland, California

Willow Steps combines the folky, introspective tunes of Jesse Strickman with the angelic harmonies of Leiya Mahoney.

After three years of touring, recording, and shooting music videos, Willow Steps parted ways as a band (not as friends) to pursue new life goals. Leiya opened the SunRoom and Jesse launched a solo project:
