Biography:
The New Amsterdams began as a solo project in Lawrence, Kansas to then-lead singer for The Get Up Kids Matt Pryor. In 2000, he released his debut album Never You Mind, which was comprised largely of acoustic tracks with sparse accompaniment. However, the album also featured Alex Brahl and Rob Pope providing extra instrument tracks.
Two years later in January 2002, Pryor released Para Toda Vida, this time sticking almost purely to acoustic guitar, with the exception of a few tracks utilizing harmonica and banjo as well.

THE NEW AMSTERDAMS LYRICS
"Turn Out The Light"
Capo on 1
C
I know that it burns like poison in the pill
Am
Sing me to sleep, echoes in the hills
G
You can't hear a word
C
You can't hear my broken will
C
The world through a windshield is careless and cheap
Am
I toss and I turn, I can't get to sleep
G C
Counting the hours the days that turn into weeks
F C
I've been wrong but it's alright
F C
There've been long and lonely nights
F Am
I was lost till I found you
G C
Turn out the light, I'll stay if you want me to
C#
Somehow my time got out of my hands
Bb
I just wanna stop master commands
G# C#
I'm telling you true it won't be this way again
C
Long ways away but you're never alone
Am
Look at the sky over our home
G C
I'll be around a few more miles to go
F C
I've been wrong but it's alright
F C
There've been long and lonely nights
F Am
I was lost till I found you
G C
Turn out the light, I'll stay if you want me to
C
Don't have to say it you don't have to speak
Am
I've been awake worried and weak
G C
Don't say a word
F C
I've been wrong but it's alright
F C
There've been long and lonely nights
F Am
I was lost till I found you
G C
Turn out the light, I'll stay if you want me to
