about

This song came from an idea I had about a photo shoot (and some day I might actually take the photos).

Of all the songs I’ve written in the last few years, I think I’m the most pleased with this one. I wanted to experiment with long pauses, where I stop playing for a moment and let notes die out. I juxtaposed this with unusual tonal structures built with wandering phrases and no real musical hook. It was like deconstructing jazz and rock, then pasting it randomly together. I’m really happy with how it turned out.

lyrics

So a brand new day
Never finding shelter
You’ve hidden from the world
Your shaking hands

And with a sky so blue
Everything around you turns to gray
Your time has fallen through
You cover up your head and join discarded angels

And if the sun shines
I’ll feel it on my shoulders
I’ll carry it to you
And keep you warm

They ask for life again
Covering their ears from what we say
They turn their backs and then
Never open up their eyes to see discarded angels
