about

With UP TO YOU, it’s as if Andy Partridge murmured to Rich Arithmetic in a dream: “Add some of my Oranges and Lemons to your echo of sunshine-pop over Southern California.” Rich acquiesces, trading vocals with The Legendary Chucklenuts’ front man Charlie Maliszewski, whose harmonica seals the deal.

--Steve Stav, East Portland Blog

lyrics

UP TO YOU
words & music by Richard Horton
©Hortones, BMI

Everyday finally ends (see the night, its shadows bend)
The new day begins again (we see exactly when)
You might say it’s not your problem
But we know that’s not true, and I’ll—

Leave (it to you)
It up to you (I will leave)
The new day—up to you
Up to you

All chapters come to an end (The story still extends)
New ones start the story again (Re-boot and re-send)
I could regret that it’s over
Regrettable but true, but I’ll

Leave (it to you)
It up to you (I will leave)
This book to read — up to you
Up to you

Day follows night
And night follows day
Now, it’s up to you

All good songs come to an end
(Love to sing them with my friends)
Sing them so the voices blend
(New songs begin again)
I’ve heard you wrote a new song
You sing so sweet and true, so I’ll—

Leave (it to you)
It up to you (I will leave)
Your new song — up to you
Up to you
