Napa County is a county located north of the San Francisco Bay Area in the U.S. state of California. It is coterminous with the Napa, California, Metropolitan Statistical Area. As of the 2010 census the population is 136,484. The county seat is Napa. Napa County was one of the original counties of California, created in 1850 at the time of statehood. Parts of the county's territory were given to Lake County in 1861. The word napa is of Native American origin and has been variously translated as "grizzly bear", "house", "motherland", and "fish"[citation needed]. Of the many explanations of the name's origin, the most plausible seems to be that it is derived from the Patwin word napo meaning house[citation needed], although local residents will often cite an urban legend that gives the translation as "you will always return".
Napa County, once the producer of many different crops, is known today for its wine industry, rising in the 1960s to the first rank of wine regions with France, Italy, and Spain.[citation needed]
Brian Culbertson (born January 12, 1973) is a musician and instrumentalist from Decatur, Illinois, United States. Son of jazz band director and trumpeter Jim Culbertson, Brian's instruments include the keyboard and trombone.
Heavily influenced by funk, much of Culbertson's material is funk-based instrumental, but he has begun calling upon vocalists such as Trey Lorenz, Marc Nelson, Kenny Lattimore and Avant to add to his later pieces.
Culbertson has released twelve albums so far. The first three were on the Blue Moon label: "Long Night Out" 1994, "Modern Life" 1995, and "After Hours" 1996. After moving to Atlantic Records, three more albums followed: "Secrets" 1997, "Somethin' Bout Love" 1999, and the critically acclaimed "Nice & Slow" 2001. "Come on Up" 2003 was released on Warner Jazz, and Culbertson then moved to GRP Records for his project, "It's On Tonight" 2005 which debuted at #1 on Billboard Magazine's contemporary-jazz charts.
Brian Culbertson also works with many other musicians in the contemporary jazz arena, often as a composer and arranger. Culbertson is currently credited with working with Dave Koz, Peter White, Richard Elliot, Jeff Lorber, Michael Lington and legendary A&M Records composer and producer Herb Alpert. He is married to Michelle Culbertson, also known by her stage name Micaela Haley.
The Beginning Of The End
( New Buffalo EP )
You got me thinking about the end.
Giving up making changes and starting again.
You with your eyes open when you're sleepwalking.
Check the time, it's the beginning of the end.
Tonight there's a race with an intangible prize
Bare feet on the lawn see the frill in your eyes
And we'll sing the winning song together again.
'Cause it's time for the begiinning of the end
Locked inside cabin fever, he's changed his tun
He's not singing the blues, he's seranading you
Take my hand, close your eyes
Let me lead you astray
'Cause tonight marks of the end of your terrible ways
And together we'll climb and stand on top
See the lights in the city
See your courage singing pretty
One more letter to send
Say "thank you friend"
Stay Here While You're Gone
( New Buffalo EP )
Completely unbroken
Away for a while
In a love that I was so dependent
On your belief
Such a seperate religion now
That I don't need to call on you
Anymore, anymore
Look inside and you will find
Your worries are hiding
Are the silent building scattered trees
So cozy then you're wear is
Choose to stay here while you're gone
Stay here while you're gone
Stay here while you're gone
Give me a reason
Why you so of all
Such delights
Conversations so reassuring
On perfect nights
Sorry you spill such uncertain feelings
But I just missed the safest place I've ever know
Ever know
Look inside and you will find
Your worries are hiding
Are the silent building scattered trees
So cozy then you're wear is
Choose to stay here while you're gone
Stay here while you're gone
Stay here while you're gone
Stay here while you're gone
You've gone my friend
You've gone to start your life again
You read the book
It told you how
To begin
And how to end
You've gone my friend
You've gone my friend
You've gone
You board the ship
The water laps against the sides
Reminds you of
When you were a child
You rowed the boat to mystery
And walked through trails
Where all the trees
Had faces
You wrapped your arms around
And felt the breeze
You've gone my friend
You've gone to start your life again
You read the book
It told you how
To begin
And how to end
You've gone my friend
You've gone my friend
You've gone
The ropes are tied
The shapes lay hard
Against your side
Forgive me for this
Empty ride
I gave to give
And not to hide
You've gone my friend
You've gone
You've gone my friend
You've gone to start your life again
You read the book
It told you how
To begin
And how to end
You've gone my friend
You've gone my friend
You've gone
You've gone my friend
You've gone
You've gone my friend
I know what you like best
Yes I get the feeling that
You're tired of all my moody ways
I'm tired of living moody days
One more breath and I will become
A river that is deep and still
I'd wait here all night until
You said yes
Washed out fears
With midnight tears
There's washed out fears
A little sleep will brush away
With midnight tears
The fingerprints I found today
There's washed out fears
And I'm not going far away
With midnight tears
In just eight weeks I'll solve the case
And I'll be in your car and driving
Straight through a red light
While you're running through my mind
Arrest me and say yes
Will you hang the trophy in the cabinet
You are yet to build
You withstood the stormy nights so well
Is this a dream
Yes it is
Is this a dream
While You're Away
I've got plans to take you down
Privately we'll make a time
Taking notes and making charts
One machine to map the heart
Silver lining in your mind
Look inside but never find
Hanging pictures on the wall
While you're thinking how you left all
While you're away
With stars in your eyes
The infection is so close to the heart
Give me some time
It's all that I need
You lie beside your dreams in the dark
Please pick up the phone
I picture you asleep
And you're alone
You're listening to the sound
Of your inside
It's never been so sweet or so alive
While you're away
With stars in your eyes
The infection is so close to the heart
Give me some time
It's all that I need
You lie beside your dreams in the dark
Give me some time
It's all that I need
Give me some time
It's all I need
Give me some time
It's all that I need
Give me some time
It's all that I need
Give me some time
It's all that I need
Give me some time
Yes I knew her name
It was written in the sky
SHe was wearing what I like
The coulr caught my eye
Later on that night
with my mattress in the light
got a ticket and fright
i brought this on myself tonight
i was afraid to sleep
i knew when i caught her eye
she'd be dancing on the rooftops
chasing some other guy
diamonds in her pockets
when she jumps her dress is torn
here she is beisde me
stretched out on the lawn
grow up, yeah smile,
this is here, this is now
you'll have tears in your eyes for
for a while, for a while
her house is different
that's because she cares
what's hanging from the stereo
she made with her own hands
pictures on her walls remind her
what she's living for
da da da da dah, da da da da dah
grow up, yeah smile,
this is here, this is now
You'll have tears in your eyes
Time To Go To Sleep
Time to go to sleep
Just lay back (just lay back)
And relax
Time to close your eyes
Just lay back (just lay back)
And relax
On the seventh floor
I can see it, it's a swimming pool
But it looks like a river
Saturday, what a day
I'm not lonely
But I'm
All alone
I'm trying to go to sleep
But I can't go to sleep
I lie awake with
Coloured lights and ideas
Stacked up high
Where's the diamond in my
Messy mind
Underneath the streetlight
You see who I am
It lights up the patterns and games
And incomplete sounds and new names
Saturday, what a day
I'm not lonely
But I'm
All alone
I'm trying to go to sleep
But I can't go to sleep
I lie awake with
Coloured lights and ideas
Stacked up high
Where's the diamond in my
Messy mind
I'm trying to go to sleep
I lie awake with
Coloured lights and ideas
Stacked up high
Where's the diamond in my
Messy mind
Coloured lights and ideas
Stacked up high
Where's the diamond in my
This Is More
( About Last Night EP )
This is all I remember
One night's dating back through December
Golden moon in your eyes
I'm under water
Such a surprise
This is more
Than desire
I feel all
Like I'm higher
Than before
This is more
You're on stage in a different town
And the press say that they want some more
You deserve the award
I'm under water
Such a surprise
This is more
Than desire
I feel all
Like I'm higher
Than before
This is more
This is more
Than desire
I feel all
Like I'm higher
Than before
Recovery
Time for beer
Checkered cheer
Now you're here
I can see so clearly
No more question marks
Sympathy cards
It's in the stars
Troubled times are clearing
Now it's recovery
Looks like it's gonna be
Okay
It's a new day
Recovery
Looks like it's gonna be
Okay

Gotta stop
Feeling like it's never ending
We could go

Okay

Recovery

You can paint the picture of your fever
Just to get it off your mind

On Sunday
Director gets in
And changes the lighting
Shooting the scene they begin
Four minutes on
The romance is blooming
Preparing the costume she grins
How about we have a little action
The writer wants some more
He's gonna get some
Yes tonight's the night you're gonna want more
She's the one who's got nothing to cry for
So give up, give in
And tell them the story
Look down and shine from above
Holding his hand
She's singing to herself
I've got a ticket to love
How about we have a little action
The writer wants some more
He's gonna get some
Yes tonight's the night you're gonna want more
She's the one who's got nothing to cry for
No Party
Ohhh, ahhh...
Caught me in a rush
I hate myself for this
Longing to lay down beside you
And tell you how it is
My scarf is folded clean
Shoes beside my bed
Movies and then smiling
All these ideas in my head ooh
Ohhh, ahhh...
Ideas on belief
These are ideas we can share
Stroll accross the party floor
You've spoiled it all
You've spoiled it all
All the colours in my mind
Patterns in my eyes
Your the one who made me come alive
And after spoiling all my cheer
I realise why I'm here
You're the one who made me come alive
my body's broken I'm not ashamed
dangerous token guilty with pain
tell them my story beginning to end
bring me my sweetheart I wanna see him
everyone has their own divine
can't find a comfort prayers with wine
is this my weakness? do I care?
I need a partner I need someone there
gifted and blessed seeds you can sow
misery and mountains arrows and bows
masculine memories famine and rain
bring me my sweetheart I wanna see him again
misery and mountains arrows and bows
Just a little time
( About Last Night EP )
Just a little time
By yourself
I hate to see you sad
I know the drive will do you good
And while you're outside
I hope you clear your mind
Driving down the road to come home to find
Giving all is great
Stars on fire
Catch you while you sleep
Tearing out the pages
Just to keep
Me alive
Warming to your charm
Changes will surround us
It's the carnival of seasons
I decided you should be here with me now
I'm not leaving
You're what keeps me
All inspired
Have I told you
In the room
I played guitar
I wrote about you
All night long and
I'm not leaving
You're what keeps me
All inspired
Have I told you
In the room
I played guitar
I wrote about you
All night long and
I'm not leaving
You're what keeps me
All inspired
5 o'clock there's coffee cups and magazines and breaking up.
I hold the phone right to my ear
I'm sick of saying I wish you were here
I got myself in to this mess
I chose to wear this stupid dress
My memories look good for me
That's one place where I want to be
You are, you are, you are, you are.
It's true, It's true, It's true, It's true. x2
A milion people with one idea
to get the hell right out of here
You've packed your car, you've packed your brain
With things to lose and things to gain
I see you now you're sitting there
with crumpled dreams and messed up hair
It's black and blue
It's black and white
It's exactly what I want tonight.
You are, you are, you are, you are.
It's true, It's true, It's true, It's true. x2
You are, you are, you are, you are.
It'll be Alright
This time
It's not about you
So tired
But what can you do
Last night
I wanted to say
Move on
And look on the brighter side
But your eyes
Never seem to open
There's a whole world outside
See I'm trying to tell you
It'll be alright
Did not
Think you leave it this long
Work hard
Or maybe you've got nothing to say
Please call
I'm begging you to
Forgot
I never got back to you
And your eyes
Never seem to open
There's a whole world outside
See I'm trying to tell you
It'll be alright
And when your all alone
You catch your breath
You save yourself
You save yourself
It's easy
If you'd only try
It's easy
But your eyes
Never seem to open
There's a whole world outside
See I'm trying to tell you
It'll be alright
I thought you'd call
I thought you'd change
But why expect
Oh so much from your friends
I know who you are
And you know who I am
Inside
Gotta get away so I can write some more
TV on and record playing, what's it for
Career move is watching you travel far
Watch a building being built, the pieces are
Replacing what's missing inside your heart
In the distance dying on your bedroom floor
Playing songs I used to know
Gonna get my things and take them down
Gotta find a friend and move around
I'm not satisfied with staying here
Playing what seems pretty clear
I'm gonna get my things and take them down (It's alright)
Gotta find a friend and move around
I'm not satisfied with staying here (Here we are)
Playing what seems pretty clear
I'm gonna get my things and take them down (Inside)
Gotta find a friend and move around
I'm not satisfied with staying here
Playing what seems pretty clear
Sending letters back and forth
What can we do
Here's a mountain and a heartbeat
Just for you
Situation tells me that we're going to
Even if we have to pay
Gonna get my things and take them down
Gotta find a friend and move around
I'm not satisfied with staying here
Playing what seems pretty clear
It's alright
Here we are
Inside
It's alright (It's alright)
Here we are (Here we are)
Inside (We're inside)

It's alright
Here we are

Here we are (Here we are)
Inside (We're inside)
I've Got You and You've Got Me
I wanted it so bad
Making all the props
Sitting on my swing
Giving all I've got
But when they dim the lights
Forgetting my stage fright
I find that little smile
Cause I've got you and you've got me
I've got you and you've got me
I light his cigarette
Acting with regret
Saying all my lines
Pretending things are fine
But when the curtains close
Everybody knows
I climb into the space
Where I've got you and you've got me
I've got you and you've got me
What happens when I say
"This may be the last beautiful day"
I'm dancing in my sleep
With promises I'll keep
Feeling so complete
Cause I've got you and you've got me
I've got you and you've got me
I've got you and you've got me
I've got you and you've got me
I've got you and you've got me
I've got you and you've got me
I've got you and you've got me
I've got you and you've got me
I've got you and you've got me
Everybody knows, everybody knows
I've got you and you've got me
Everybody knows, everybody knows
I've got you and you've got me
Everybody knows
It all comes down
It all comes down
It all comes down
To what you do
To what you learn
To what you say
To what you earn
To what you shake
To what you make
You cried your eyes out when I was gone
You want to truth
Well here you are
I'm the drunk and you're the star
You cried your eyes out when I was gone
So much happiness in
Longing for what you love
Longing for what you were
And what you could be
It all comes down
It all comes down
It all comes down
To how you care
To how you share
For what you say
For when you're there
To what you make
To what you shake
You cried your eyes out when I was gone
You want to truth
Well here you are
I'm the drunk and you're the star
You cried your eyes out when I was gone
So much happiness in
Longing for what you love
Longing for what you were
And what you could be
Oh you're longing for what you love
Longing for what you were
You've longing for what you want
Home
( About Last Night EP )
Came home
Everything was a blur
All mixed up and messed up
Eyes all tired and broken
Came home
Everything was a blur
All mixed up and messed up
Eyes all tired and broken
Came home
Everything was a blur
I saw the map
I've found the map
It was floating and faded and torn
The missing pieces they were gone
This does not make sense
It's all so incomplete
It's all so incomplete
I forgot to say goodbye
I forgot to read the signs
I forgot to say goodbye
I forgot to read the signs
And the map lies here
It's torn and faded
On a dark street lined with pine trees
I close my eyes
Touch the surface
It's all so personal
And confusing
It's all so personal
Four seasons in one day
Lying in the depths of your imagination
Worlds above and worlds below
The sun shines on the black clouds hanging over the domain
Even when youre feeling warm
The temperature could drop away
Like four seasons in one day
Smiling as the shit comes down
You can tell a man from what he has to say
Everything gets turned around
And I will risk my neck again, again
You can take me where you will
Up the creek and through the mill
All the things you cant explain
Four seasons in one day
Blood dries up
Like rain, like rain
Fills my cup
Like four seasons in one day
It doesnt pay to make predictions
Sleeping on an unmade bed
Finding out wherever there is comfort there is pain
Only one step away
Like four seasons in one day
Blood dries up
Like rain, like rain
Fills my cup
We are one, we are
Two people inside one body
Our own disgrace
Emotional champ so sorry
No sleep tonight
Only sweet reminders
Say keep tonight
Cause it's all I wanna
We are one we are
Shaping signs from nothing
We are done we are
Forgetting this means everything
No sleep tonight
Only sweet reminders
Say keep tonight cause it's all I wanna
All I wanna do
Eemotional champ so sorry
All I wanna do
Baby, do you understand me now
Sometimes I feel a little mad
But don't you know that no one alive
Can always be an angel
When things go wrong I seem to be bad
But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Baby, sometimes I'm so carefree
With a joy that's hard to hide
And sometimes it seems that all I have do is worry
Then you're bound to see my other side
But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
If I seem edgy I want you to know
That I never mean to take it out on you
Life has it's problems and I get my share
And that's one thing I never meant to do
Because I love you
Oh, Oh baby don't you know I'm human
Have thoughts like any other one
Sometimes I find myself long regretting
Some foolish thing some little simple thing I've done
But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Yes, I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Yes, I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Come Back
When dark as night
I saw the light
It shone with more
Desire than
I'd seen before
The leaves begin to fall
I smell the air
And hear a voice saying
Come back
Come back
I need you now
Come back
Come back
I need you now
It's time to lie
Down on the shore
Where you once cried
For more, for more
Come back
Come back
I need you now
Come back
Come back
I need you now
It's true
It's true
I've been avoiding you
When all you gave to me
Was so pure and so complete
The sounds that lull to sleep
The flickering of the lights
The water so deep
Come back
Come back
I need you now
Come back
Come back
I need you now
It's time to lie
Down on the shore
Where you once cried
For more, for more
Come back
Come back
I need you now
Come back
Come back
so it goes
the ordinary people, they do not know
who we are or what we're doing here
they want you to pick up the phone
and hum the dial tone
you see, we should start from the top
and look at what we've got
wild flowers growing in the park
summertime, and it melts into dark
dancing together at night until two
cheering me up, and i'm thanking you

This is all
About last night
This is all
About last night
The lights are low
The diner is not what it seems
Am I in a dream
Hotel car
In my head
Where is the key
Little secrets
Are coming clear
You're making plans
So she's got something to break
You're holding hands
The accidental mistake
When you change your mind
She can see
She's left confused and defeated
This was not meant to be
This is all about last night
Yeah
This is all about last night
She's got her face on the jacket, it's warm
She never felt so unsafe before
She gets caught in a b-grade storm
If you do this do it for you
If you do this do it for you
If you do this do it for you
If you do this do it for you
Take her back she cannot stay there
She doesn't know what else to do
If you do this do it for you
And stop before you start

So she's got something to break
You're holding hands

There's a house
Inside different rooms

There's one door
Never opened

Asking questions

Play my songs for you
You know I tried last night
This is all I came up with
Yeah
I like your style
Styling me

One thing I've got to say
