about

A 4 track song/demo

An experiment of sorts. Dear to us because of the doors it has opened creatively. A different song now but this version is one we thought was worth stamping into the timeline.

Initially recorded sometime in spring 2022 on a Tascam Porta 03, extra vocals and keys added spring/summer 2023.

Mixed by Peter on a Tascam Portastudio 464

lyrics

With the streetlights murmuring on his skin
He wanders the narrow path into oblivion
As cars hurry by on lonely freeways
City girls remove their socks
And they lie awake with the radio on
Day-dreaming knives and honeybees
Dogs explore dark hallways where no dogs should be
And the people stare thru his skin
As he wanders towards oblivion
There are sirens above everything
The blue and red stains on the streets
As the exit sign flashes with the noose
All wonder sticks like glue
He is laughing with the kookaburra
Though he can’t understand why
All the dead rise and become living
And the living all stay dead
Waiting for rain
For winter to end
Beneath a full 2am moon he feels nothing like he used to
No aching in his bones or blackened vision
No terror in his home no pacing around the kitchen
There’s nothing quite like the soul shredded 5am Monday 3rd day on a bender
It’s like doing time for the crime of birth
And you are every sun in the universe
The traffic jamming
The orchid crucified
All death giveth birth to new life
The stars undressing
Your absence deafening.
