Lovely vocal harmonies reminiscent of Simon and Garfunkel.

Track 8 from Frances Luke Accord's sophomore LP, "Safe in Sound."

Lyrics:

All my life
Had my head in my helmet
Right of the road
On the side
 Sunlight on the road
Wind in my face
I went high, over and under
Woke somewhere else
Woman of grace
Angel of slumber

Lost in space
Nothing but wonder
Empty in I

It took time 
To recoup what was taken
Self in remaking 
Rethink this life
In my head, oh
In our only life cycle
In the blink of an eye, I was left
The whole world was ending
But also rebirth
And also pretending
Knowing what life is worth

Da da da da da
Da da da da
Da da da da da
Da da da da da
Da da da da 
Da da da da da

Safe In Sound

Saint Mary

Lyrics: 
This morning I dreamt 
Forgetting your name
While that of your child
And husband came
I bent close to face
You whispered in song
We barely embrace
And then you were gone

The distance in space
All moving along
Our time and our place
All vanish at dawn
This morning I dreamt
A memory came
The memory went
It started to rain

This Morning

This Morning (featuring Liz Chidester)

Lyrics:

If I could find an army
To do as I command
If I could paint a picture, love
To help you understand
If I could dig to China
Without making a sound
Then baby I’d be nowhere to be found

If I could kill a giant
With the tiniest of stones
If I could keep a shooting star
From falling alone
If I could kiss the sunrise
Each time around
Then baby I’d be nowhere to be found

And it’s a long time to lie
A child beneath an endless sky
Who can only reach so high
And I love to wonder why
I feel I’m left with only my disguise

If I could find the secret
To how the world began
If I could hold the key of life
In the palm of my hand
If I could take you with me
And slow the turning down
Then maybe we’d be nowhere to be found

And it’s a long time to lie
A child beneath and endless sky
Who can only reach so high
And I love to wonder why
I feel I’m left with only my disguise

And I love to wonder why
I feel I’m left with only my disguise

Nowhere to be Found

Nowhere To Be Found

Lyrics:

Reach out for it
Leave your things behind
Bear in mind
Sun will shine
Rain will dry
Clouded eyes...
Who do you run from?
Why don't you come home to your lover's side?
Lean upon the friends who see
Climb into the banyan tree
In the hour of the wolf I'm here for thee

And when you wander from the bower
I'll do my best to try and see you where you really are;
Remind you how we're not so far from the grave but I'll be the one to wake you now

Reach out for it
Leave your things behind
Who do you run from?
Why don't you come home?
In the hour when your world is set afire...

Choice: a new segment on Nouns where we explore one choice made by one person. First up is the band France Luke Accord (which I guess is technically "one group") talking about why they made a song that isn't even theirs.

Lyrics:

if the sun goes dark someday 
all the stars fall out from space
oh, solace me, my enlightened one
with no stars and with no sun

and if the blue moon didn’t come
wasn’t new, it just wandered on
to some other earth and some other sun 
would you also go love some other one?

take me with you, Maria, please
I'm so full and I need to empty
I set all my glittering cotton alight
on the bitter chance you'll restore my sight

I'd leave my body and my blood behind
on just the faith you're the one to find

Who Do You Run From
