Cardboard Boat

To The Sea

You are listening to an original song by Emily Kate Boyd. The lyrics were directly inspired by a conversation between Krista Tippett and John O'Donohue.  

"O Sweet River"
by Emily Kate Boyd

O Sweet River,
Carry the memory of her pain
To the wind-tormented sands
Of the sea

These days so restless,
Rich and unsatisfied,
Like the sorrow of a king
Ruled by his endless, lonely nights

When every idea comes to mind
On the back porch seems to die,
O Sweet River, stay alive
Stay alive

O Sweet River,
Will you remind me of the night,
I was humbled and took the shape
Of the mist, the well, the lake?

When my tears fell upon her face,
I was humble
Formless
In her grace

Teach me to trust this and keep faith
As I surrender to this place
Dissolve the hard and entangled shape
Of my fear

I’ll be grateful, I’ll be kind
And I’ll keep good love on my mind
I’ll be grateful
Kind

All my love, all my friends
All I need in good hands

All my love, all my friends
All I need in good hands

In the Woods

O Sweet River

LYRICS: 

Hey little boy, what have they done to you
They disowned your soul and locked you away in the dark
Oh little boy, no one paid attention to you 
When you cried out for help on the quest for your passionate spark 

In the thickets of repression 
All the years you’ve been on your own
Any kind of your expression
Trampled down between hearts of stone

And with tears in your eyes 
You begin to realize
That now I can hear your voice 
So finally, it’s time for you to rejoice

Hey little boy, please give me your hand
I show you the world and you teach me how to see it through your eyes
Oh little boy, your life’s been so bland
All the crap you’ve been made to believe in was built upon lies

In the thickets of repression 
All the years you’ve been on your own
Any kind of your expression
Trampled down between hearts of stone

And with tears in your eyes 
You begin to realize
That now I can hear your voice 
So finally, it’s time for you to rejoice

And with tears in your eyes 
You begin to realize
That now I can hear your voice 
So finally, it’s time for you to rejoice

Lyrics:
People, lost in the haze, defeat their own lives, it seems
Aimless, wandering wide-eyed, I was bound to love again

I will do you no harm, I won't fly
I will do you no harm, I will try

Darling, hazel-eyed mountain song, my soul longs for you
Running, I wasn't gone for long, I've grown all for you

I will do you no harm, I won't fly
I will do you no harm, I will try 
I could die in your arms, I could die
I could die in your arms, I could die

What if I lose all sight and ambition?
What if my heart weakens my vision?
What if all I need is right in front of me? 

I could die in your arms, I could die
I could die in your arms, I could die
I could die in your arms, I could die
I could die in your arms, I could die

~ Lyrics

Setting out to go now on another overnight 
Back down near Bristol, where I’ll walk you in the light 
Full knowing that I got to do you right 
Now I’m locked in to your side 

Patient like a mom, I know 
That I’ll miss you when I go 
I’ll be gone a half a moon 
Then I’m coming home to you 

Now I’ve got this in a warming little fire 
Formed in my heart now, give into the lonely choir 
No my darling, I don’t want to go, no I 
Don’t like saying goodbye 

Patient like a mom, I know 
That I’ll miss you when I go 
I’ll be gone a half a moon 
Then I’m coming home to you

On My Way

“Berkeley crafts his songs like watercolor paintings. Intimate and introspective, his gentle yet colorful melodies are graceful and resonate long after the last note fades.”  – Creative Loafing, Atlanta

Songwriter and author David Berkeley writes songs capable of both breaking and mending the heart. The San Francisco Chronicle calls him a “musical poet,” and the New York Times praises his “lustrous, melancholy voice with shades of Tim Buckley and Nick Drake.” He was a guest on This American Life, and he’s won many songwriting awards and honors including ASCAPs Johnny Mercer Songwriting Award. Berkeley has released six studio albums, one live album, and authored two books. His 2017 release was a never-before tried concept: a novella comprising ten intertwining stories and an album of ten accompanying songs (one for each story). He returned in time for the 2018 midterms with a set of political love songs called The Faded Red and Blue. Berkeley is back with his most intimate and poignant release yet, Oh Quiet World, written during the lockdown after his family escaped Spain due to Corona. 

Berkeley and his family decided to leave Madrid, where they had been living for the year, as Corona numbers began to skyrocket. They packed in haste, leaving much of what they had acquired over the year behind, and managed to get on one of the final commercial flights out. David had planned to leave it behind, but on their way out the door, he grabbed the half-century-old secondhand Spanish guitar he had bought in the city. It was lucky he did, for it was on that guitar that he wrote all the songs for his latest release, Oh Quiet World. David and his family self-quarantined in a friend’s empty house near the Rhode Island coast. He set up a makeshift studio in the attic and began writing and recording songs. “I wrote a song a day that first week back,” Berkeley explains. “Songwriting gave me a way to process my fears and frustrations. It gave me a purpose, something small I could contribute.” The songs are his most stripped back, supported by his wife and children’s singing and the most barebone arrangements with touches of horns, accordion, and banjo. Despite the hard topic, Oh Quiet World manages to find hope through the hard times. The whole album plays like a prayer, beginning with the call to “wake up in the early light,” and ending with the word, “amen.”
 
David Berkeley’s gift as a songwriter and storyteller is that he sees both the tragedy and comedy in life, managing to both reveal the sorrow and the blazing beauty at the heart of the human condition. It’s a duality that audiences experience at all of Berkeley’s shows as well, as he tells uproarious stories between cathartic songs. 

Berkeley lives with his wife and two boys in Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA. In addition to his solo career, he is also one half of the wildly creative Trans-Atlantic costumed duo Son of Town Hall who just released their debut LP to wide praise. Berkeley’s music has also been remixed by many of the world’s top EDM DJs. He tours extensively all over the country and world and has opened/toured with Dido, Don McLean, Ben Folds, Billy Bragg, Ray Lamontagne, Nickel Creek and many more. He was a Kerrville New Folk winner, a New Song and Rocky Mountain Folks Festival Finalist. He’s performed on Mountain Stage, The World Café, the Sundance Film Festival, South by Southwest, XM Loft Sessions, Acoustic Café, to name a few. 

“If you're into literate soulful singer songwriters, David Berkeley is the Gabriel García Márquez of beautiful-voiced troubadours.” – KRUU
