about

Added at the last minute in 2021. Sonically, I felt there needed to be a song with more space and less on its bones (a real challenge for me!) - usually when I impose a limitation, I have better clarity, even if it means me making completely contrary choices. This was just me and my ARP 2600 & ARP 1613 sequencer - my semi-modular synth that, to be honest, I still can’t quite believe I own. I was very inspired by Vaschi Bunyan at the time, and longed to sing “straight”(no vibrato) & gentle, as you would to a baby.

This tune was me trying to forgive myself for all the drama & pain over the years, to provide comfort in the moment. A closing lullaby.

lyrics

Feel like
I gave up today
Feel life
Meander & break
We crashed the car that we made
Left her dead on your wake

Broken part of me
Broken part of you
Broken all of me
to break part of you

Feel like I buckle & break
He cried “guide me to my grave”
This life
not lead into gold
just my
blood on the snow

You broke me to my knees
The devil sits with me
until I kill the beast

We fall alone
Love begets love
We fall alone
Love
begets another love
My love
begets another love

We fall alone
Love begets love
We fall alone
Love begets love
We fall alone
Love begets love
We fall alone
My love begets another love
My love begets another love
