This winter I've spent time in the studio with the amazingly talented Doug Kwartler. Doug has been helping to capture the new album 'seed water sun.' I've discovered that Doug goes way beyond 'sound engineer' and has all kinds of secret super powers, helping with orchestration and playing many many instruments to anchor the songs and then bring them to life.
I am also grateful to Danielle Pinals for singing with me on several of the tracks. Danielle sings angelically and I'm excited that music is beginning to be a team sport again after too much time in our cocoons.
Below is a super secret pre-release link to "not a sound." While the album is still in the oven, this song is almost complete. After 2 years of challenging music, this song is pure solace and goes back to the nature writing transcendentalist roots. Doug and Danielle traveled right to the soul of the song and we're proud of how it is coming out. Here are the lyrics and we hope you find a moment of peace in this music.
~not a sound~
Silence Silence
Leaves drifting down to kiss the ground Branches naked now
Silence Silence
Wing beats of chickadees Flirting through the trees
I forgot again that this will change
Snowflake Snowflakes
First two dancing down they call their friends to play
Snowflake Snowflakes
Laying down a blanket not a sound not a sound
I forgot again that this will change A moment now is gone
Flowers Flowers
Fragile stems of violets Sprouting from the mud
Flowers Flowers
Tiny leaves the sun she teases fleetingly
I forgot again that this will change A moment now is gone
Whether held too tight
Singing Singing
One lone bird a morning song to greet the sun
Singing Singing
A symphony of insect song lulled to sleep
I forgot again that this will change A moment now is gone
Whether held too tight Or too much to bear A moment now is gone
