Trippin' Avante Garde Funk Rock. Barely holding it together. Multitracked bass and slightly bent guitar melodies make for a jazzy, blues tinged funk fueled ride.

As I look out across the valley

I can see

Gold flowers on waves green

I can see

A proud stallion without a care

​

Was thinking how you've been doing

This I know

Sometimes it rains for days

This I know

That you found good fortune

​

Oh Elizabeth, your words ring true

Oh Elizabeth, our many shades of blue

Oh Elizabeth

Our many shades of blue

Of blue

​

We are your sons and daughters

Don't worry now

Ain't gonna start no trouble

Don't worry now

As you watch over us

​

We kicked rocks along our way

Remember that

Winding down to Fire's Creek

Remember that

I will always remember that day

​

Oh Elizabeth, your words ring true

Oh Elizabeth, our many shades of blue

Oh Elizabeth

Our many shades of blue

Shades Of Blue

“Waiting” is the very first song I ever wrote. I was 18 years old and living away from home for the first time. I’ve never recorded it due to the extremely personal feelings I have that inspired it, but the time felt right to finally record one take of it live at home. As always, if you dig it please feel free to comment or repost. 
Thank you!  -Tim 🙏🏻✌🏻

I. I Go Among Trees
by Wendell Berry 

I go among trees and sit still. 
All my stirring becomes quiet 
around me like circles on water. 
My tasks lie in their places 
where I left them, asleep like cattle. 

Then what is afraid of me comes 
and lives a while in my sight. 
What it fears in me leaves me, 
and the fear of me leaves it. 
It sings, and I hear its song. 

Then what I am afraid of comes. 
I live for a while in its sight. 
What I fear in it leaves it, 
and the fear of it leaves me. 
It sings, and I hear its song. 

After days of labor, 
mute in my consternations, 
I hear my song at last, 
and I sing it. As we sing, 
the day turns, the trees move.
