Here you are a swan. Fire on the water. Four moths. Four months. Held your breath for too long let it go. Turned.

Belonging 03:30
Belonging: The sensation of simultaneously being born and giving birth to. When you recall your childhood in the mountains, among the milkweed drifting, you drift through it, as it drifts through you. You may be driven to defend these places from the prying eyes of those who would own them without the knowledge of them that resonates in your bones. But do not do this in the same language. You belong to these places, as they belong to you but you do not own them. Ownership is a frightening and tenuous territory, dependent on proof, on contracts things written in blood (you know where your scars come from). Belonging is something that needs no words for it lies beneath them.

Here we are, spinning metal down the freeway while up in the sky, the stars do the same. Though they seem still or at times even tranquil, the heavens also chase their tails and their own names. Bury all of your prayers so you can find them anywhere cast them into the wind so you hear them in everything. The hardest thing to know is which way to walk when you're walking home.

The chariot weaver prods your legs when you are sleeping is this madness is it belief do you have faith in what you can't see Oh above, and oh below: Hell above, and hell below. Oh child, find your home. In darkness walk alone. Oh above, and oh below: Hell above, and hell below.

Thought you found the time before you fell into my life Spun around your head, it was turning in the light oh you saw it rising, and curled up in your spine I feel the fire leaving as I/you hang it up to dry Pause because you found a tiny entrance that will bring you inside look as you're leaving behind the light

Home should be a place you can find with no map. Home should be a place you can leave and then come back. Home should be a place you can walk to.

about

This is a weird album, I know. It was almost entirely improvised and recorded over the course of about three days, and none of the songs have been, and probably never will be, performed. I was at a point of feeling pretty unsure as to where I was coming from and what I wanted to do. It was pretty much a sketchbook, filled with little musings about littler things.

This album is dedicated to a human who is out there in the world, and is a product of and a gift to the wilderness that exists between us. It is a confused and shaking map, navigating the wilderness that contains ours.
