lyrics

Some days, I give and I give and I give / like a moss of ferns, feathered out into the sweet air. / Some nights I cry and I cry and I cry / like a starling on the sidewalk in the summer sky / I once did not know / the name of this ebony beak / I had seen a million times before. / Some days I need and I need and I need / all the sweetest flowers / its their nectar / I am needing, a pink dogwood I beg / to enter in my veins and find me. / Some days I live and I live and I live / till the well has run dry, and the spring / ever elusive, though I live in months / of rain I have yet to find, caches of the holy water. / I need someone like a mirror / to help reflect on my fear, in past days/ I relied on a lake, but a lake is not flesh / Some days I try and I try and I try / to distract myself from the task / between my two hands which hold nothing but all the tools / I need to live fully well until my end. / One day I will die out, like a flicker of light / one among the billion stars at night / and I'll shine down upon the ferns / that cling to trees of old / giving life anew

Solely

This Paradise
by Lucy Roleff

Delicate, understated and beautiful. Lucy's writing is like a whisper you can barely catch, but when you do it's striking and thought provoking, supported by beautifully written wind arrangements. Lindsay Clark

Good Timing
by Adeline Hotel

Something to ride through the days with, like an old friend or that thing you never knew you were missing. Melodies that feel like home. Lindsay Clark
