Dance Me to the End of Love

"Everything meant to be is meant to be"... inexorable as the tides

The final light follows the final breath, as we join the Forgotten

Their hands, warm yet cold, 
guides us through the final flicker

Let us recall the times they appeared: 
. . . . the hospice beds, the cordoned scenes
. . . . the screaming stares, the times unplugged
. . . . the knotted rope, the coldest river

The Forgotten bears no malice
Their stabs through the heart wither in time

Soon, we'll join our great grandfathers
Soon, we'll join our great grandmothers
Soon, we'll join the Forgotten

With all our Love, we hope to be Forgotten
With all our Love, we hope to pray...
We hope to pray this bloodied dagger away

Bloody Dagger (An Original, Live on Acoustic Guitar)

A recording of Modern Voice at O'Brien's Pub in Allston, MA. 

A bit psychedelic rock. A bit post-rock. A bit soundtrack-esque. Most definitely chill.

A first run at singing Emily Dickinson's "Because I could not stop for Death" while playing the Pokemon theme song

Because I could not stop for Death —
He kindly stopped for me —
The Carriage held but just Ourselves —
And Immortality.

We slowly drove — He knew no haste
And I had put away
My labor and my leisure too,
For His Civility —

We passed the School, where Children strove
At Recess — in the Ring —
We passed the Fields of Gazing Grain —
We passed the Setting Sun —

Or rather — He passed Us —
The Dews drew quivering and Chill —
For only Gossamer, my Gown —
My Tippet — only Tulle —

We paused before a House that seemed
A Swelling of the Ground —
The Roof was scarcely visible —
The Cornice — in the Ground —

Since then — 'tis Centuries — and yet
Feels shorter than the Day
I first surmised the Horses' Heads
Were toward Eternity —

Jolene (raw take)

Still a bit of work in progress, but I thought the ending is neat enough to share
