🕑 Added 2021-08-14 18:01:00 +0000 UTCI went over to my friend Soren's house this week with a Zoom recorder and my mom's guitar to ask a bunch of questions about recording techniques and composition. We set my field recorder up proper and recorded this song in his studio. He even cleaned up the room noise and did some lite mixing and mastering afterward. Many thanks for the lessons & gifts.
This is my newest song, Home. It's pretty transparently about grief. Lyrics follow.
home
I bought myself new sheets
hoping it would help me sleep
here I am again
stripping velvet from my fingers
gripping ropes of sand
tessellated promises
the smell of death and cigarettes
it lingers
open a damn window, please
open the damn windows
here I go again
heaving softly over the edge
even old trees bend
have you been here recently?
thought I felt a heart beat
on the wind...
come, they are circling
step with them in time
stay for the tuning bell
just don't miss your ride
home
don't miss your ride home
