The Dimes
The Dimes are an American folk-pop band from Portland, Oregon. While The Dimes have released four EPs under their own self-titled label, The Dimes, their album, The Silent Generation, recorded under the label Pet Marmoset, is considered their debut album. The songs on The Silent Generation were largely based on stories which singer–songwriter Johnny Clay read in Depression-era newspapers, and which guitarist Pierre Kaiser found under the floorboards of his 1908 Portland home. The album was released in December 2007 to positive critical reviews. Their song "Jersey Kid" was featured on NPR Music's Second Stage.
The Dimes released their follow-up album, The King Can Drink the Harbour Dry, on December 1, 2009. The album is based on the stories, people and history of Boston, Massachusetts. The band released a short EP, New England, in early 2009 which featured some of the songs slated to appear on The King Can Drink the Harbour Dry.
In mid-2010, The Dimes released an EP, William Dawes and other Forgotten Gems, of B-sides from the King record sessions, which featured some older songs that had long been part of their live show.

Barely There
by: Bringing Down BroadwayWasting away,
your drifting through life with an attitude,
take a look at yourself,
and all that you have become
pick up your feet, lace up those shoes,
and it's just so simple when you're on a roll,
but have you stopped to think,
that you have no control?
when you're all alone, and on your own,
will it make a difference?
will you even skip a beat?
racing through life in the fast lane, your heart will
be beating,
your heart will be bleeding red,
I won't stand by you,
and watch you burn yourself all over again,
tracing your footsteps backwards,
to the place we once called home,
do you remember?
do you even care to try to get it right?
so drag your heels right through the mud,
so that you can say that you've done all that you
could,
by a show of hands,
how many of you have never sinned?
Then cast the first stone
I'm standing here,
I'm living proof,
if you just trust in me,
then you may see a beauty
I'm screaming out these words I speak,
Take them to your heart,
or take them to your grave,
because in the end,
