4 Figures (We're Okay)

Four figures, warmed by the sun
We’re okay with it, okay
A cold figure, reposed as a plum
We’re okay with it, okay
The restless nights, left us waiting
I can’t recall your face clear and plain
Little were the ways
You’d know, you would know
Now we’re coming to claim
A change of pace
We’re okay
We’re okay
We’re okay
We’re okay

I just want to hold you
And then both grow still
Til the highway noise dwindles
And it's only your breath
That I hear
That summer
You left all your roses behind
And moved to the coast
To see sea creatures
Slimy and blind
And what would a thousand years
Do to a mind?
What would a thousand years
Do to a mind?
If history then was condensed to its crimes
And all happened at once
Would we still know
How to forgive
There's just something off
How we measure the time
Put the sour looks and stabbings on scales
And step right, step right
Step right down
And a thousand times thousand
More smiles we find
And a thousand times thousand
More smiles we find
I just want to hold you
And then both grow still
Til the highway noise dwindles
And it's only your breath
That I hear
And knowing you sleep
In the peace of a silent
Good night
I’d love you
A thousand more times
I’d love you
A thousand more times
I’d love you
A thousand more times
I’d love you
A thousand more times

Ways to be Great

Andrew you went to such lengths to have me around
One day you'll understand why this one’s not worth keeping around
I don't mean to self deprecating
I just mean to say that not everyone’s made for each other
Sing like you love like you love like you love
Sing like you love like you love like you love
Sing like you love like you love like you love
Ways to be great
Comparing yourself to the ground
Ways to be great
Make flowers into a crown
If god was great
He’d already have taken me out
Sing like you love like you love like you love
Sing like you love like you love like you love
Sing like you love like you love like you love

She's Got, He's Got

She's got, me's got
We's got a breeze, hot
Can't believe the knees buckle
Bottlin’ the bees
Running through the leaves
Left the money in the breezeway
I don't understand why they're hollerin’ at me
He's looking right at me
Through the family tree, says
I can't find no way to leave
Not a holler, not a scene
Or they won't believe
We can't put back the buzzing bees

Artifacts of Water
03:06
|

|
this is snow
this is midwinter when rain begins as ice
sliding off the tree
down the muddy mountain
it's gonna make an event, in June or July
underneath our feet, at the park on the waterfront side
colder than any mouth can take
than ice floe flowing down the slope
til it’s inching home on the plains, into the river
this is the way things go, this is the water of heavens
this is the leftover of last year
and last year, and the last year
and every year, and last year
sliding over me
shower in a few drops, delicately
in the cold still left in the deep, from the heavens
and the swirls it took to get to you
this is the leftover of last year
and our year, and your year
and every, all our years, together

He creates scenes with stories, song structure, and production like no one else.

I can listen to this on repeat forever. A hidden gem that's both meditative and intense.

Such great tunes and lyrics here from a fellow Idahoan. The songs sound familiar but there's always a unique touch that brings them to life.
