Demo only. Week 4 of 2023 Songwriting Group. Prompt: Still

Ice on the wires, frost on the ground
Cruel is your voice, it’s cold all around
Still there’s beauty, still there’s a thrill
Still want to break through, still you lie still

Winter is harsh here, surprisingly cold
Power is out now, I feel quite bold
Still you’re lovely, still looks may kill
I still want to kiss you, still always still

Dark in the house, ice creaks outside
An oak tree cracks open, it’s frozen inside
Still you lie sleeping, I doubt that I will
Racked by the shivers, still can’t hold still

Morning comes early, frost on the glass
I’m longing for contact, you take a pass
Still my hope lingers, hope a steep hill
Iced over, no traction, still I try still

I bring you coffee, in bed, dark and thick
You sip and then smile, caffeine does the trick
Still in your beauty, forgetting the chill 
Warm to each other, and after lie still  

Our minds often glacial, projecting a chill
Displacing our meaning, rejecting what’s real
Thawing this morning, as we sometimes will
Weathering winter, still in love, still

Still In Love Still - Rick Watson

At This Distance (Utterly Lost) - music by Rick Watson & text by Carl Sagan

(All sounds made with baritone guitar, voice, looper, effects pedals.)

"There are some hundred billion galaxies, each with, on the average, a hundred billion stars.... In the face of such overpowering numbers, what is the likelihood that only one ordinary star, the Sun, is accompanied by an inhabited planet? Why should we, tucked away in some forgotten corner of the Cosmos, be so fortunate? To me, it seems far more likely that the universe is brimming over with life. But we humans do not yet know. We are just beginning our explorations. From eight billion light-years away we are hard pressed to find even the cluster in which our Milky Way Galaxy is embedded, much less the Sun or the Earth. The only planet we are sure is inhabited is a tiny speck of rock and metal, shining feebly by reflected sunlight, and at this distance utterly lost."
Carl Sagan, Cosmos, 1980
