hey I’m gonna meet you on the street corner
hey I’m gonna meet you, meet you meet your maker
we’ll transcend our solid lines, all the colors we’ve been colored in
and I’ll be ruining you, don’t you know, don’t you feel it?
our ways are brave, our ways are open-eyed
you’re my muse, my order and I’ve caught you at the edge of time

what, what, what’s in a mind?
am I biding my time for a possibility to find that I, I am a being of light
I, I am a being of light

who can see the warning signs?
who can see the holes in their mind?
neither you nor I
yet I, I am a being of light

meet yer maker

stop. catch me here and I won’t be. let your life rise
stop catch me here and I won’t be. let your life rise as the sun

hold my hand through this please
all the threads that could be

stop

waiting for the blood or the baby
women you know too well, yes tender men too
howling, homing in silence, getting smaller, smaller everyday
how do we stay alive you ask me touching your little body
beware those who claim they know, being lost is the way sweetheart
preferred reality dropped, slack-jawed
it smells like bones in here, smells like bones in here

my faith remains in the mountains who do not speak
my faith remains in the oceans who do not speak
my faith remains in the changes I do not seek


smells like bones

here is a sneak peak of the pending album INCREASING SENSITIVITY TO THE EARTH.

it threads this album to the last, with the same name- how do we stay alive?

as always, thanks for giving this corner of the world a listen

how do we stay alive?

woolen lover blends organic found sounds with electronic sensibilities.  keeping it simple while also reaching for complexity, interest, the heart of the world.  through the limits and possibilities of the loop pedal, woolen lover layers words, sound, movement and meaning.
woolen lover is particularly interested in the intersection of music and movement, but really the intersection of everything they find meaningful. creating, doodling, natural buildings, poetry, depth of experience, queer existence, how we relate to each other, grounding, movement, making music, making music for movers, knowing the plants, respecting the land, directing the world toward peace and goodness…

woolen lover hopes to be part of so many movements that are creating beautiful Ways, connecting to wise old Ways too.

at live performances, woolen lover delights in sharing songs already written, but finds improvised experiences of looping, writing a song, and moving together some of the greatest parts of shows.

at home now in Winona, Minnesota, woolen lover was born in New York, shaped by Vermont, pulled by Minnesota, called by Utah and Indiana, before circling back to these bluffs and trees on the Mississippi.
 
come, let’s ride the wind.
