I'm afraid of losing time I'm afraid I won't be seen in the moment I can feel myself disintegrating, fragmenting All my pieces blending into you But this strange light Surrounds me I'm afraid of losing time Really I'm just scared of losing myself I can feel myself integrating Imagining that all your colors are still here And this strange light Surrounds me

I'll make my way across the ocean Across the ocean

Garden 04:32
[This song is for you.]

I'm wondering how long could this be Fumbling through pages that are not my story, not my story I'm wondering how long should this be Singing my songs and trying to make a story, any story Everything that I hold dear will disappear Everyone dissolves into the atmosphere I'm wondering how long could this be...

Take It Away 02:43
Nothing seems to want to stay the same Everything's in circles, and different shapes And different shades of grey And different shades of Whatever your favorite color is these days Take it away now I can't seem to recall the open fields Where the wind would smell so sweet The birdsongs would descend from up above The wild violets at our feet

Julia 05:23
Today a thousand years Of strained affection and prayer Out beyond ideas of right and wrong is a field Will I meet you there? The summer garden blooms With autumn soon replaced Another harvest moon So many ways to lose So many faiths Holy to the Lord on the bells of horses Safely on the shore we sank like stones To the bottom of a made up ocean Standing on the lake shore, Julia Silent as a seashell, Julia Magnet of the elk park, Julia Laid down on the temple floor "Send a couple rats," said Julia I'd have done the same thing to you Coffee and a milk, now Julia Who do you think needs who more? In case your plan falls through To mispronounce my name To curse you-don't-know-who And bow before the same I'll meet you there Holy to the Lord on the bells of horses Safely on the shore we sank like stones To the bottom of a made up ocean

about

Strange Light was recorded over this past fall and winter. It started with the cover of Julia and from there I felt that more songs wanted to emerge. The themes that came up for me were my own mortality, anxiety, disintegration, but in the midst of it all was hope, light, integration - an invitation back into a strange and familiar warmth and Light.
