Jimmy Bentley I've been a fan of Vanna for quite some time and was saddened when I found out Evan was no longer in the band, but I soon realized he started a new project. This album is incredible and a breath of fresh air. It fits your voice so well Evan. I love everything about it! Favorite track: abandon.

Aj LaGambina I've loved Evan since "This will be our little secret" (and that wasn't even that great of an EP) This album seems to be a natural step for him since leaving Vanna. Looking forward to future releases. Favorite track: live.

abandon 03:09
So this is it, what we came here for Done abandon your hope, No, Dont get lost in it all Just keep holding on, keep sleeping soundly Ill sing you a song, just keep dreaming about me Keep me as close as the clothes on your skin While your wearing me out, ill be wearing you in Chorus Is this what you want, are you where you want to be now can i keep you close, can i take you home with me now can we watch our lives play out You told me once just isnt enough So i keep on trying to double it up You said stay where you are, stay where i can see you Be true to your heart, its about what you can get through for me for you, for me, for me Chorus
2.
deep down 03:42
This isn't easy to say, but i think its time that i got moving on So ill keep my thoughts focused on today and hope that I'm happy with where i end up There comes a time in all our lives when we start living life for ourselves its not selfish to follow your heart to start reaching out for something more, for anything more Chorus I always thought that we were friends in the truest sense some things never really are what they seem to be I always hoped that we'd be better off in the end I'm better off without you, i hope your better off without me Just a word of advice, its not about fame or the fortunes you make its about heart, and staying the same not losing sight of yourself in this game...I'm folding ill start over from scratch, do this on my own at least then i know if it all falls apart it all falls down on me There's no one to blame for choices i make, I'm finally free im finally free Chorus ....deep down i always knew we weren't friends in the bitter end so i bit my tongue until my mouth filled with blood i always felt the weight of jealous negativity i'm better off without you I'll always be better off without you
3.
live 03:32
This is where the truth finally hits your ears everything connects, and all at once makes perfect sense Regrets, living blindly only held you back, and this is where you'll find Chorus There's no way out, you did this to yourself There's nothing left now, your just getting lost in this So get yourself out, reach down inside yourself and pull yourself out, its time for you to live with this This is when the earth finally hit the moon everything went black, and all at once lit up again relapse, learn to live your life and nothing less and that will calm your heart just when you find... Chorus Bridge with this..... Oh how did I, how do i live Oh how did I live through this
4.
I still see it in my mind, the places i have been and what I've left behind The streets of Glasgow were a blur, what's familiarity, yea, what's it worth Chorus I think its time that you all know that this was all about letting go if i took my time and hurried up would my efforts made still be enough If i kept my head clean for a bit with hopes i washed my hands of it Chorus Bridge ill set the record straight and say, I'm alright with where i am today moving on to brighter days without a compass, without a map, with no knowledge of future paths I'm ready to give up on looking back Chorus
5.
set adrift 04:42
Id walk for days if it would ease my troubled mind the truth is I'm still trying to find a means of settling Down this old road, set adrift in this old town ill lay awake in this old house or maybe just sleep the hours away maybe ill just sleep them all away Its been a while since i have held you in my arms now that winters just upon us now means darker days and longer hours spent waiting for you to come walking through the door take your coat off for a while and let the night unfold itself Chorus Its never been easy to leave and your never too far from my mind while waiting ill search for you in dreams just to pass the time i wasted time thinking of how you did me wrong all the beauty that you gave this place still couldn't take the pain away listening to ghosts speaking faintly in the hall as they talk of past memories and discontent they share for us all Chorus
6.
knowing 03:14
I think about it a lot at times maybe more than i should I've held my hands out over the fire to feel anything i could I made my mind up on this built walls to harbor my hopes I've sat alone in empty fields, searched my heart for all i know Chorus Somewhere in the dark its waiting to take us all away Believing s not the same as knowing where we will arrive in the end i often feel it near like its always two steps behind Its haunted me for most my days its been hiding deep inside Bridge and if i ever make it through the night, i hope ill be arriving just on time to keep you safe in the places you may hide Chorus
7.
yours 04:34
Ill keep my hands inside of yours its always felt like home ill hold so tight it wont feel right to ever let you go so keep me close and never stray ill promise you the same if we should fall we'll rise again and never place the blame take all your love, and what your thinking of, and show it all to me
8.
breathe 04:18
The day started off like any other she opens the shades and lights up the room and she will dress for the day drink her coffee or tea, and make her way out into the world There's nothing special about today give me a break you'll hear her say in an obvious tone of monotony There's so much more she wants to be things to do, places to see so many places left to see Pre-Chorus If she could open up her eyes, to something that makes her feel alive Don't we all want to feel alive Chorus Just hold on to what makes you feel whole open your eyes to the great wide unknown no matter how tough things might seem to become just know you'll always make it on your own Pre-Chorus Chorus

about

This is the first full length record from Evan Pharmakis' solo project Wind In sails. This record is made up of deeply heartfelt songs of hope and positivity.Taking influence from 90's alternative bands like The Goo Goo Dolls, and Gin Blossoms and mixing it with more current folk rock similiar to City and Colour and Bon iver. Its a piece of art straight from the heart of an honest musician.
