1.
Telling 03:14
i felt at home in the great noise that great big welcoming void it whipped up a huge feeling in me (so tender) and I heard the voices in the trees and their words came to mean all darkness ! undone !
2.
Gust 03:39
it's so hard to know how strong the wind will blow so I work hard to stand still (seems like the wind is always blowing in the direction I'm going pushing me back)
3.
silence breaks the day but when you're describing it you've already ruined silence breaks the day and you can only live in it if you don't acknowledge it when i perceive silence i move to fill it up i move to feel busy i move to ruin but i hate this instinct i want to feel still i want to leave the world alone so that silence breaks the day waking up in the forest or biking in the morning silence breaks the day it shows the love for the old growth inside you and how it's roots are buried so deep and when they're exposed it brings out the best in you that's why i'm happiest sitting on a grassy rock face watching waves crash on waves and stone and pool that's when silence breaks the day
4.
Mountains 02:57
the mountains in my town are glassy and gross and when i head north i'm still swallowed by their shadow so i keep close to the dust of the world and the world in the dirt all the worlds that i love experience real beauty in the cracks of crumbling brick in green leaves smashing windows in the earth left to itself and if my favorite vacant lot gets turned into a high rise condo i'll shed a single wide tear but i will learn to move and love genuinely the sacred world of dust and the person i choose to travel with and trust
5.
Moving 02:10
6.
New Clarity 03:04
there isn't always such clarity it comes and goes in wide billows there isn't always a truth in mystery it can keep you in the dark but when the wind picks up there is no mystery we shudder and shake and lose all control this is how we learn to cope this is how we learn to live with insignificance in the face of elements barreling in sharp and pointed when you least expect it it blows you back but watch how the blade of grass bends or how the tree gets uprooted or how your body is slowly sinking into the dirt there is so much power in standing still or walking slowly while the world unfolds around you there isn't always such clarity but when it comes hold it close or die searching for it's ghost
7.
Slow Burying 03:55
slow burying, i am slowly burying my body in layers of clothe and bone so it doesn't show soft encouraging, i am softly encouraging my life to be free and affirming naturally genuinely and it brings a feeling that is so rare raw progress by any means is so rare slow burning, i am slowly burning holy wood from my bedroom mantle it clouds my dreams with thick uplifting smoke and this ritual slows down the day and keeps me breathing in the rhythm of the river where i spent my early life learning, imprinting, soaking to feel at home anywhere is so rare to stay true to the old self is so rare but i am always remembering
8.
River 02:46
9.
Breaking 02:50
ice it was all ice i opened the door and became canvas in the wind bludgeoned

about

THIS is an album I wrote and recorded from the end of March to the beginning of May as an exercise to make an album about my day to day life. At the end of April my computer CRASHED HARD on me so I had to work from some salvaged .mp3's to finish it up.
Arguably, this makes it even more intrinsic to my daily life as it's deeply tied to all the events in that time span either by my voice describing the days or by solely being recorded at my house or where I work or by having a weird mix because of dumb computer stuff. This is truly it ya'll ! The walking myth of modern person shrunk down to short pop format.
Anyways, most of my music has been made for night time listening but this is truly a day time album ! Designed for watching trees grow in abandoned buildings, or going for a long aimless walk in your neighborhood or whatever it is you do when the sun is out. I personally like to sing it while I bike to work in the morning, and maybe that is how it's best experienced. Only time will tell !
