Solstice (New Beginnings) 01:43
lyrics
buy track
It's important to come together in this time of darkness, to understand our world and give thanks for what we have. The sun may be far away, but we are not far away from each other. In this time we gather we truly love each other. Through the cold, the warmth of our hearts bring us great solace. Soft snow falling from a dark sky Huddled in the center of the world Ancient notions long calcified Gentle footsteps push toward the dawn Now we gather in the moonlight And settle in the thin air

Oh my friend I thought I saw your face in the clouds today I think I was right But you weren't just the clouds You were the sun and the trees and everything around me Your love is everywhere now I haven't seen your face in the flesh in almost three years But I swear i see your face in everything And my dear, I am so thankful for you I know where you are is where you need to be And I think about you every day Oh my friend I miss you but I understand Thank you, thank you I'll find you some day, I'll find you someday my friend

Screaming Poetry Up at the Moon Pt. 2 02:16
lyrics
buy track
Feelin' awfully small My hands gone numb Keepin' in character Standing at the edge of the sea Opening up myself seems so scary I'll think I'll stay here in bed If you're up there Watchin' over me Will you ask the moon if she's listening? My throat's raw from singing But I'll be okay My throat's raw from singing But I'll be okay If you're up there Watchin' over me Will you ask the moon if she's listening? My throat's raw from singing But I'll be okay My throat's raw from singing But I'll be okay

Throwing Cherries 01:32
lyrics
buy track
The days are getting shorter, The nights are growing long, Dark's creeping into my skin But there's light pouring out of your fingertips I think I'm in love with a candlestick Throwing cherries off of an overpass Even my laughter can't keep up with how fast I'm falling in love with you How fast my heart can run And I know I gotta go slow Don't wanna ruin this But you deepen my shallow breaths I'd drown in your limbs And awaken at the sight of your Sweet, sweet grin

Cover of Night 01:52
lyrics
buy track
The old holes in my skin Just big enough to let the light in Warm and yellow contrasted With the snow I had the love of an ocean born with me A love runnin' dark and deep I'll be okay in the bitter cold This I know The quiet cover of night Keeps us safe til the dawn comes Soft dreamy murmurs like a lullaby I'll find you in my dreams

Ghost 01:51
lyrics
buy track
Ghost of a melody An apparition that hangs too heavy It once existed somewhere real But now it's just a memory There's a ringing in my ears Simply devine A song of sleepy limbs intertwined Languid sittin' on the prologue, In the back rootin' for the underdog

Lucid 02:49
lyrics
buy track
I think I see your face in the clouds Even hear your voice in my dreams I don't wanna be afraid I think I know what that means Maybe I'll start running real fast Toward this beautiful future And not from my past I've never felt so beautiful

Now and again I wish I could escape myself Jump into the water of my dreams I was an eager young girl not too long ago

This is a song about my cat His name is Catboi and he's fuckin cute A'ight Soft meows coo tenderly Paws outstretched toward me Feet shuffle toward the morning Waking from sleep Stay in my arms a while Don't cry for the door Sweet baby boy don't beat up your brother Let me kiss your head Meow, meow, meow Sweet feline friend Thank you for stickin by me I'll love you forever I wouldn't trade you in For an endless supply of green chile My special boy

about

Wintertime can bring feelings of numbness and isolation for many, so when we gather in this particular time it can be a deeply human way to commune, and survive the cold. In ancient times, families and communities would gather around a hearth in the center of a home where food was cooked, stories were told, and experiences were shared. This album was written as a way for me to explore those feelings of warmth and belonging through sound and written word. I wanted to create an environment that was able to envelop the listener in glowing, radiant light as a musical act of survival through the long dark nights, and through the unwelcoming cold.
I hope you enjoy.
xoxo
