    This 8 song EP gives reason to put out 2 other versions of "Within A Room Somewhere", the big single from the highly successful album This Beautiful Mess. One, edited for radio, the other a demo version which feature Matt going off on the guitar. A true treat. There's 3 new songs. The Matt Slocum penned "Healer" & "Dresses", which is about the "dresses that never fade" his grandmother is now able to wear in heaven. And the bassist J.J. penned "Alisha's First Step", an instrumental that features strings. "Love Letters In The Sand" is a Patsy Cline song singer Leigh has always wanted to do. The melody is there, but they've made it a rock song. "Carry You" is a song written by T-Bone Burnett & Leslie Phillips originally recorded by Sam (Leslie) Phillips. "Solomon The Mystic" is Sixpence's live epilogue to the song "Meaningless", featured on the album The Fatherless And The Widow.
