"The Shape Of Your Shadow" (#496, 210824)

The shape of your shadow
Is dancing on the floor
The shade of fine tobacco
I never could afford

The light outside the window
Is seeping through the cracks
A memory made out of tinsel
Shining against the black

And the only two things I know
The only two things
The only two things there are
Are my breath so shallow
And the shape of your shadow

The mornings are sewn together
A pale surrender into the night
You were once my first forever
Until your letter spelled goodbye

Week 34 - Shape Of Your Shadow (210824)

Half of folk pop duo Cabin of Love. One-quarter of Americana band The Foragers.

We took our name from a painting by Max Ernst, which features an innocent bird menaced by a threatening forest.

This mixture of innocence and menace is present in our songs, which explore different worlds, some light and some dark. 

Our debut EP "Pleasure to Burn" came out on 15th January 2016. Critics have been very kind, praising our blend of "Spanish folk with US southern blues":  http://emergingindiebands.com/forest-dove/ 

We've also been featured in many Spanish blogs...
