about

I wanted to create a song that was like salve for any heart. An ode to all that is gorgeous, beautiful, and true.

lyrics

Bath me benevolence and cover me in joy
Bury me in peaceful thoughts by whatever means you must employ
Call it sentimental call it soft and trite
Call it anything you like until theres nothing left to fight

Holding on to anything long enough feels tight
Letting go of holding often feels like gaining sight
I don't care how it happens or what the strategy is like
Just hold me to the fire let the flames burn out the blight
Sing a little melody and make my heart take flight

Just as the green emerges from Spring's mysterious store
Find the software of new growth and run it in your core
Until the sound of gratefulness is thumping...
thumping through the floor
