I've got wild eyes and a bloody light I'm pretty sure that I'm gonna get in a fight I've got white knuckles and bloody nails and I'm gonna put some holes in the bottom of the pails I've got white knuckles and bloody nails and I'm gonna put some holes in the bottom of the pails yeah You've got two buckets standing there One is full of strength and the other is full of fear One is full of truth and the other is full of tales I'm gonna put some holes in the bottom of the pails One is full of truth and the other is full of tales I'm gonna put some holes in the bottom of the pails yeah

If we leave by dawn we can make it with a song and the sunset will hear us singing By the looks of this mountain it's best we get along and if we lose our sight we must be remembering that the forest don't look the same in the day as it does in the night no the forest don't look the same to me as it does to you so we'll use what light we have left to look at the other mountain sides and feel the wind on our face and breathe it in and breathe deep and breathe hard when we breathe together or apart

In a Dream 01:22
In a dream of a photograph you're waving at me and I can see you still 'cause you're not moving at all and it makes it hard to decide if you're waving hello or saying goodbye yeah it makes it hard to decide if you're waving hello or saying goodbye
4.
I want to write you a song and I know what that means and I have eaten trash and I have seen you in the gutter and I am sorry for what I have done wrong but not for what I have not done wrong I want to hand you a baby plant that's all just give you a baby plant and take our time say nothing at all I want to lay with you in a field of stars and just look up and close our eyes and locate one another say nothing at all say nothing at all say nothing at all

Light Around 04:23
there is so much space in here and there is so much light around it is on the outside in impressions made in the grass and it is on the inside in trinkets taped to the dash it is not in pointing at blank words it is not in walking backwards or sharpened teeth or separation with sharp swords you cannot grab water and hold on when you are the water and this is just a song when words don't work don't use words

remember the time we looked to the sky? we named all the things we saw. the time before we recognized that all the things we saw were just tiny pieces of dust on the photograph we held so tight. here's to the moment that we recognize that we have a decision to make.

in my sleep in my dreams i drive the car my father saved his whole life to see a black Cadillac and i just drive around all night as he floats one inch above the roof that is all we do

Birds Song 01:30

10.

about

These songs were written across many years. Mostly between 2016 and 2019. I intended to put the project out as two 6 song EPs in 2020, but life got in the way for the second release, and I decided to say screw it, I pulled the first release, and am now releasing them together, the way they were originally intended to be.

All of the songs were recorded in the basement after my son was born. Many of them were sung over and over as lullabies before being recorded. The experience of trying to get my son to sleep singing these songs – really trying to lull him – totally influenced how I ultimately approached recording and presenting them. It's not the only influence, but it's pretty heavy. One song is about looking back, but most are about looking at.
