The Humble Bee & Offthesky - For Her Breath Is On All That Hath Life

The Lynx, The Fawn, The Squirrel

It was a casual Saturday afternoon at a friends place; A random Spotify playlist had assumed the roll as the DJ for the night, which eventually cued up the Jose Gonzalez cover of “Heartbeats” (a song originally performed by the Knife). I couldn’t remember the last time I’d heard the song but was immediately consumed by feelings of nostalgia, as memories from my freshmen year in university hijacked my imagination. I found myself re-listening to the song over and over again, until coming to the (what should have been obvious) conclusion to create my own cover.

I laid down the acoustic guitars, along with some simple drums - just enough to get a general idea of how this was going to play out for me. A good friend of mine (who performs under the name Lani Rose) was available to track some demo vocals; what he sent back blew me away. 

I didn’t want the cover to be too similar to the Jose rendition, so I was sure to add a taste of Fairlane throughout the record. After wrapping up the first final version, I had the pleasure of previewing what Lani and I had done to another close friend (who’d admitted to sharing a similar obsession with the Jose cover in the past). As the demo ended, I turned around in my chair to gauge any reaction, only to discover my friend sitting in silence with his mouth agape. “That was special” he said “and that’s all I’m gonna say”.

This Heartbeats cover will always hold a place in my heart. To me, it represents an acknowledgment to the time my journey has taken to get to where I am - from the last time I heard the original 8 years ago, to the first time I heard it again on that random Saturday evening, and everything else in between.

📝 Lyrics:

Fear, don't you find me now
Don't you make me blind no, no
Don't you tie me down

And love, don't you go so far
Don't leave me in the cold no, no
Don't keep me in the dark

All along the road, give me light, give me light
I'm tired of being alone, every night, every night
Stuck out, cold, in my fright, in my fright
I need it in my bones, give me light, give me light

Faith, don't you close my eyes
When I don't know where to go no, no
Don't take me by surprise

And shame, don't you make a sound
Don't you break me in no, no
Don't you shake me down

All along the road, give me light, give me light
I'm tired of being alone, every night, every night
Stuck out, cold, in my fright, in my fright
I need it in my bones, give me light, give me light

Give Me Light

this song was inspired by Roger Ebert, an infamous film critic who lost his ability to speak. after reading an article about his life and relationship with his wife, I wondered what it would be like to fall in love with somebody who was unable to do the things in life we usually take for granted, like talking or simply riding a bike...

lyrics:
if i could ride a bike
i’d zoom around the world
with you sitting there behind me
i’d take you to places 
pass several faces
just living life so carefree

if i could sail a boat
i’d cruise across the seas
a sweet adventure for us two
i’ll be Jack and you Rose
just please don't let me go
cuz i’d be nothing without you

oh when you call me
i'm drifting on clouds like I'm dreaming
but in the morning
i wake up and see that your stuck here w me

if only you knew
what i would do for you
i'd jump up and hold you so tightly
but i will never be
able to do these things
so i'm just left imagining

if i could ride a bike (w/ park bird)

Lyrics:

She stands twelve feet above the flood
She stares, alone across the water
The loneliness grows and slowly
Fills her frozen body, sliding downwards
One by one her senses die
The memories fade beneath her eyes
Still seeing worlds that never were
And one by one, the bright birds leave her

Startled at the violent sound
She tries to turn, but final, noiseless
Slips and strikes her soft dark head
The water bows, receives her
And drowns her at it’s ease
And drowns her at it’s ease

I would’ve left the world all bleeding
Could I only help you love?
The fleeting shapes, so many years ago
So young and beautiful and 
Everything was true
It couldn't be a story
I wish it was all true
I wish it couldn't be a story
The words all left me lifeless
Hoping, breathing like the drowning man
Fuchsia
You leave me breathing like the drowning man

Breathing like the drowning man 
Breathing like the drowning man 
Breathing like the drowning man

Lyrics:

In Massachusetts
only thirty minutes from Alewife
I lay in my room 
Wondering why i've got this life
I met you by surprise 
You were hanging out all the time
But you know you saved me 
From doing something to myself that night
You call me seven times, one, two, three, four, on the line 
I didn’t mean to scare you, just had the thoughts in my mind
They showed up to my door
My parents didn't know what for
Swear I could've done it,
If you weren’t there when I hit the floor
It’s been so long and you've been my sister all along
But you know I’ll be alright
Eighth grade was never that tight

"Wolf Songs Folk Songs" vinyl available now.  Here is a review from Lost in a Sea of Sound:

"The connective fibers of the physical and spiritual glide effortlessly on this sonic journey.  Wolf Songs Folk Songs can be a cool canopy to rest under or a sun drenched warm hilltop field, but this requires an investment from each listener.  The compositions tremendous diversity and complex patterns is like a heavy shower of rain. Listening under covered shelter a few times eventually provides the soundness to feel comfortable getting soaked.

Corwin Trails is the yoke pulling music heritage and innovation. Ten tracks, constellations in the night sky. Outlines in sound resting in current temporal sonic state. Beauty finding place in what remains unreachable, Corwin Trails rhythmic composites are like undiscovered elements within the planet's crust. Creating another aspect of these harmonies are field recordings from around the world and actual sounds from the forests of Corwin Trails home in Michigan. After many listens, one comparison that came to mind a few times is the album Lost and Safe by The Books."
