Summer Russell - My Lady's House - Iron & Wine cover

One of my earliest recordings of original music, this was part of a collection I sent to the copyright office with my first songs.

Summer Russell - The Dawn Of The Day - First Recording

Summer Russell - Just Remember I Love You - Firefall cover

Summer Russell - The Indifference of Heaven - Warren Zevon cover

Summer Russell - Blessed

A tribute to my favorite microbe, the cuddly and resilient water bear.

FAWM 2017

Tango Tardigrada

An instrumental groove of drums and mysticism, with the words "I love you" spoken in various languages.

Summer Russell - Pookalicious Love Groove

Summer Russell - I'm Selling Our Side by Side Funeral Plots

Inspired by "The Girl in the Fireplace," episode 4 of series 2 in the BBC's "Doctor Who."  It is my hope that this piece pays fitting tribute to a very moving love story, but I also hope it will be enjoyed even by people who've never seen it.  Who will then go out and see it. :)

Please note that this is a rough recording, and the song will be re-cut later.  As always, I'd love to hear feedback and ideas!

***

Of all the mysteries of space and time

That you have glimpsed across the years

What stroke of providence or strange design

Could find you standing with me here?

Or is this just a lucky accident,

Like waking up in time to see a falling star

And knowing you may never see its like again

Although you’ll spend a lifetime staring at the sky

For stars that might have been

 
But you have mapped the heavens and the earth

And shared the secrets of my soul

So point the way that I may watch for you

And then, my love, I'll let you go.


And you are always laughing, even now

I want to paint a picture in my mind of you

The way you are tonight, forever young,

Your eyes that bend the stars to leave me bathing in the light

Well after you have gone.

 
Where did you go, lonely angel

After showing me enough to dream of flight?

And did you know, lonely angel,

In your absence, how I learned to love the night?

But you return again, you always do

You say the years go by like sand

An evening feels like half an hour with you

The moments drift between our hands


You are the point of light I know by heart

You are the remedy for my unquiet dreams

And when we dance, I almost think the world is new

And when you kiss my lips, I almost think I'm going to live forever

Just like you


If that were true, lonely angel

I would follow you beyond the stars I know

But then it’s true, too, my angel,

That I'll be with you forever when you go
