Music sometimes comes easily to me, and sometimes it’s very difficult to extract—more and more, I’ve come to understand that there is indeed a “way” (perhaps many different ways), but rarely a paved path ending at the destination.

This one was one of the easy times. Writing this song reminded me of the way it all started: short trips where the route forward is obvious, my only job to be sure-footed in and deliver whatever it is I have to deliver. It is a great relief to experience these kinds of day-trips in between more arduous ones fettered with baggage and crossroads and distractions.

The song itself is about dying. I hope it gives you the same comfort and clarity as it gave me.

“The beach at the base of the hill,” my first release in over a year, is out now 🦉

LYRICS
there, a moment goes by
I’ve been distracting myself and
it’s getting the best of my time
but once in a while
we come out to scatter some ash
on the beach at the base of the hill
we stood there like 2-litre bottles
not saying much
or breaking down anytime soon
that wasn’t my mother
but what do you do?

what do you do?

smile,
pick up the phone
wrap little loops in the cable
and scratch at the itches you know
it’s more than enough
just living and keeping up,
to follow along
and stand there like 2-litre bottles
not saying much
or breaking down anytime soon
that wasn’t my mother
but what do you do?

you do

like I’m not going anywhere soon
like I’m not going anywhere soon
like I’m not going anywhere soon
like I’m not going soon

There is a quote that I swear I read somewhere; I thought it was maybe in a Dostoevsky novel, but I have never been able to track it down. Maybe I just made it up. It’s something along the lines of: “everyone, from time to time, secretly yearns for their own undoing”. It feels good to get in your own way a little bit sometimes—a twisted sort of relief from the pressure of always getting it right.

I guess if I did make the line up and no one has ever said it before, you can just quote me on it now.

LYRICS
isn’t it a long life?
tell you all about it like it’s all I want
another long night
dreaming up my beautiful downfall

circles, folded arms 
I thought you wanted nothing more than love
the certain sort of trouble I start
solar farm on a hillside heart
sure it’s nothing short of sabotage
high time I let it drop
not now, not farther than I thought

isn’t it a long life?
tell you all about it like it’s all I want
another long night
dreaming up my beautiful downfall
it’s high time I let it drop
it’s high time I let it fall far
can’t lie, I like a little bad blood
a little bit of sabotage
so cry sabotage

chalk it up a change of pace
the falling face, the fade away
I thought you wanted nothing but the same
short sight loud
weathervane strange
spinning to the same damn shade of grey
I’m told that I’ve been falling out of phase
phasing out, now

isn’t it a long life?
tell you all about it like it’s all I want
another long night
dreaming up my beautiful downfall
it’s high time I let it drop
it’s high time I let it fall far
can’t lie, I like a little bad blood
a little bit of sabotage
so cry sabotage

it’s high time, love
