Lyrics:

Can’t tell whether I was left behind
Or just severed and never recombined
Skin to feather, wing, and then to fly
Off whatever eventually unwinds

It falls apart in time
You won’t know what it means
The nightmares you rewind
End nothing like a dream
If you were on my mind
I’d ask you not to leave
Footprints as you climb
Through every memory

I had thought that I was fine or getting by, at least
I try to keep my peace of mind, if only my last piece
Maybe I just thought that I’d escape to something new
But everything returns in time, if only back to you

Nightmares You Rewind

Some Pine Needles

More Than Gold

A poppy piano based track which you might enjoy

Waiting Any Longer

Six Long Years

This album was written deep in one of the lockdowns of 2021; I had no idea I was making an album. It seems to me that this thing we give a singular name to is actually a loose net wrapping around clusters of time and experiences that branch out, unruly, in all directions.

Things callous us: adventure, work, money, time, even love. Underneath is a soft skin that feels everything as if new. Everything that has happened is still happening there, all at once, along with everything that will happen. It’s a busy place. I found that songs hide there, waiting. They are maps that mark out the locations of those inner sites and topographies. I mapped some of mine. I shared the maps with my friends. I felt everything with them as if new; we made this together with our soft hands and hearts, and pass it now to you.
