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.

Sing
by: Theo TamsWhen ever the sun doesn't shine
When ever the clouds cover up the sky
I'll be there with you
If ever the world doesn't turn
If ever the dreams that we made all burn
I'll still have you
And we'll sing
'til the stardust
falls around us
and we breathe it in
Sing till tomorrow
don't let sorrow
swallow everything
If all of the seasons were changed
And only these hours with you would remain
I won't be afraid
Here in the shade of the stars
Say everything that's in your heart
I'll listen to you
And we'll sing
'til the stardust
falls around us
and we breathe it in
Sing till tomorrow
don't let sorrow
swallow everything
And we're drifting away
over the waves
to where we belong
this is our song
this is our song
And we'll sing
'til the stardust
falls around us
and we breathe it in
Sing till tomorrow
don't let sorrow
