Richard Traviss - Feathers

if i was talking to(o) breathe me in- further down on the way
into your garden your guiding light
who are you asking for a favor?
cross my eyes- lay down- breaking the vow
how now? off in (often)- into your dArkness and into my light
how loud is it? into your darkness and into my light
did you expect to regain sight? I did regain sight-
Further than I'd expect- Is this a tidal wave?
holding my final breath- no we cannot explain
I am the only sun- seemingly on the wane
only if you'd have known- that I was a big mistake
over my self and I- come to you hands out bound & tied
I'm not afraid of you

Secular Sextet - So Rock n Roll

Beat by Cobbie Ray. Lyrics by Richard Traviss aka Tall King Fire.

Cobbie Ray Hillz + Tall King Fire - Fire In MY Bones

Perched on a ledge in rural Mendocino county. Thick, salty air.  An ancient rhythm caresses the eardrum. The flute came before the wheel. Music, our constant universal language.  Cross-cultural, cross-continental, cross-country.

The journey however must end and we must go back back to our homes to re-capitulate, re-configure, and re-envision what we are in our singular space in a global sense. 

Richard Traviss imagines himself as a Cupid of sorts, shooting metaphorical arrows; opening eyes beyond barriers, birthrights, and bondage.  Be they socioeconomic or psychic.  He employs himself in the work we must do to understand each other, the journeys we must take, not sleeping, but awake.

A plodding bass drum.  A keyboard chirping like a cricket.  A drunken snare.  Richard Traviss echoing his blues off of oak trees and the memory of his ancestors. 

Richard Traviss aka Tall King Fire - Full Throttle

An old song by Jessica Shaw, Katie Maloney, Miguel Gonzalez, & Richard Traviss.  With new verses.  With luck, this won't be the final incarnation of this song.

Tall King Fire - Early in the Morning (Secular Sextet cover)

A song for lovers. Whether its self-love. Or Universal Love. Dirty, Clean, or weird love. I made this one for all of us to Bruk out, and wine and grind, and jump up to.
