How Sad How Lovely takes imagery from old Disney and intimate melancholy from Connie Converse. Pop on your headphones and swim with me across the forest floor...

Lyrics:

In the woods 
I was found by a fawn
He was tired
And I was lost

My little rabbit heart
Beating alone in the dark
My little rabbit heart
Beating alone in the dark

The yearling and I
Shared a clementine
I made a bed of sleeping forest leaves
I longed to hold him dear
For a minute
For a year
How sad, how lovely
Was my little fawn

So muted was his coat
In his eyes, I sailed a boat
The deepest seas of energies
Of mysteries and subtleties
How sad, how lovely
He was to hold the sea

My little rabbit heart
Beating alone in the dark
He brought the spring
And eased my heart
My little rabbit heart

how sad how lovely

What is this?

Very tempted to expand this into its own song.

Enter the circle

Gasp!

Don't be tempted

It came from the skies

The opening song from my 2012 EP, Too Far to Swim. Find the rest of the songs at: rosiemaymusic.bandcamp.com

This EP is themed with the struggles of keeping a transatlantic relationship going, with metaphors of water, swimming, boats, splashing about, almost-drowning, drowning, whales... you get the picture!
