paul durham and black lab announce the release of their third album, featuring ‘this night’ from the shield’sseason 6 promo.
five years in the making, passion leaves a trace finds the band returning to the experimental roots of their critically acclaimed geffen debut, your body above me. passion bristles with deeply personal epics, carved out of driving rock & roll, lush electronics and savage desire.
using the incandescent riffs and soaring vocals that hooked fans in the first place, passion mixes walls of guitar with unexpected moments of synthesizer, breakbeat, & emotional breakdown. the majesty of ‘mine again,’ the jet-black remorse of ‘this night,’ the loss of ‘weightless,’ the driving blast of ‘the real you,’ the ache of ‘ghost in your mind,’ the schizophrenia of ‘pictures of people,’ and the slow trip of ‘the window’ – all come together in this portrait of total obsession.
tracks from this self-produced album can be heard on FX’s promo for season 6 of “ the shield,” in CBS’s “numb3rs,” “ABC’s “ 6 degrees,” and films the benchwarmers & lovewrecked.

lyrics:
there are things I have done
there’s a place I have gone
there’s a beast and I let it run
now it’s running my way
there are things I regret
that you can’t forgive, you can’t forget
there’s a gift that you sent
you sent it my way
so take this night
wrap it around me like a sheet
I know I’m not forgiven
but I need a place to sleep
take this night
and lay me down on the street
I know I’m not forgiven
but I hope that I’ll be given
some peace
there’s a game that I played
there are rules I had to break
there’s mistakes that I made
but I made them my way
so take this night
wrap it around me like a sheet
I know I’m not forgiven
but I need a place to sleep
take this night
and lay me down on the street
I know I’m not forgiven
but I hope that I’ll be given
some peace…
some peace
