You are standing in the dark... The sound of the sun The sound of the water in the waves The sound of a lover kissing your neck The sound of the sun

Overture 06:27
3.
Are you the one my heart beats for? I care for you Gardenia perfume She eats hydrangeas, baby You’re still the woman I fell in love with You’re still the woman I wish I loved You’re still the woman I used to love I care for you I awake in fire And sleep in the ocean
4.
Who’s gonna love you when I’m gone? Who’s gonna love you, my pretty little darling? Who’s gonna love you, my pretty little angel? Pray to the blackbirds for a safe return Pray to the warblers for a guided path I’m gonna grow a raven’s wings Fly on way from here, my pretty little darling Fly on home to you, my pretty little angel
5.
We saw them ponies run Their hooves all in the sand It’s where I came to you It’s where you turned from me We sat upon the rocks And let the juice run down It’s where I came to you It’s where you turned from me We walked along the fence Them boulders they tumbled down Little waterfalls, little waterfalls

Hi, Ben 15:28
Hi, Ben We’re in a car Call us back We’re eating blueberries and chips Love you, Oh Miss you, Oh Call us back
7.
Who’s a better man than me? Who’s a better man than me, when you look at me with those eyes? You still make me smile, my friend. You still make me smile, my friend, When you look at me with those gray eyes. When you look at me, lord what I become! When you look at me, and my tongue is numb! When you look at me, and I’m feeling dumb! Who’s a better man than me?
8.
My heart is free, baby My heart is free and easy, baby

Finale 09:21

about

A song cycle
A blind film
An opera without actors or a stage
A dream I once had
About a bird
With oily black wings
Lit by fire
Over a darkened ocean
My heart is free and easy, baby

Guitar and vocals throughout recorded live, in one continuous take (we hit record, I played for about 90 minutes without stopping. That's the music). We added a few janglies and a little bit of synthesizer - that's it.

This music sounds like: swimming, horses running in the sand, various birds and the desire to fly away, the ocean, summertime, my baptism at the age of 14, experiencing geographic distance from loved ones, equating geographic distance with emotional distance, sunrise on a quiet beach, the wind on your bare ankles, the southeast Alaskan wilderness, eating watermelon on a big rock, doubting the existence of true love, perfume, the sound of a lover kissing your neck, chips, clouds singing, riding in cars. waterfalls, what do you say to someone you wish you still loved?, colors. worship songs from my childhood in the church, spontaneous and hallucinatory visions of nature, the feeling of getting a nice voicemail from your friends, lines from the film “Paris, Texas”, the feeling of freedom and ease in the heart, blueberries, a birthday party every night, and you, my friend, are the special one

Written at the base of the Three Sisters mountains in Sitka, Alaska
