Songs to Burn Your Bridges By is the fourth album by rock band Project 86. Originally released independently in November 2003 on the band's own label Team Black, the album was re-released on Tooth & Nail Records on June 1, 2004. In addition to a slightly re-ordered track listing, the re-release featured new artwork, three previously unreleased songs, and higher production quality.
Only 5,000 copies of the Team Black edition were pressed. For the "mother lode" pre-order of Picket Fence Cartel in 2009, one would receive one of only 300 copies the band still had in their possession.
Famous quotes containing the words songs, burn and/or bridges:
“How learned he bitter songs of lost Iambe,
Or that a cup-shaped breast is nothing vile?”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
“The mode of clearing and planting is to fell the trees, and burn once what will burn, then cut them up into suitable lengths, roll into heaps, and burn again; then, with a hoe, plant potatoes where you can come at the ground between the stumps and charred logs; for a first crop the ashes suffice for manure, and no hoeing being necessary the first year. In the fall, cut, roll, and burn again, and so on, till the land is cleared; and soon it is ready for grain, and to be laid down.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“... this single span,
Reaching for the world, as our lives do,
As all lives do, reaching that we may give
The best of what we are and hold as true:
Always it is by bridges that we live.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
