Nomad Exquisite

about

Nomad Exquisite is the first song from my Radishes and Flowers project. It's a song cycle adapted from the poetry of Wallace Stevens' Harmonium. This one's about Florida.

There's a video with scenes of birds, alligators, and everglades too:
youtu.be/MfIAn1NCwz0

The song takes you straight to the everglades - it's an explorer's song. The line "As the immense dew of Florida," keeps repeating and acts as an invocation of Florida's humid air and all that it brings with it: sweat, grass, trees, life.

(If you happen to find something enjoyable or meaningful in this, I think the best way to show your support is to share it with a handful of others that might find something in it. Thank you for listening!)

lyrics

Nomad Exquisite by Wallace Stevens

As the immense dew of Florida
Brings forth
The big-finned palm
And green vine angering for life,

As the immense dew of Florida
Brings forth hymn and hymn
From the beholder,
Beholding all these green sides
And gold sides of green sides,

And blessed mornings,
Meet for the eye of the young alligator,
And lightning colors
So, in me, come flinging
Forms, flames, and the flakes of flames.
