haiku bout cicadas --
This one's for you, @melaniepegge
4 Chords: D F#m Am Em
till the end at least!
now breathes in and out
evening chirping, love living
remnant of the day
home, soil, deeper world
ground spirits, ink-black dreaming
tending toward a tone
sending a message
wide awake so many nights
cad-ence con-struc-tion.........

"evening chirping" immediately conjures visions of our blackbirds all chirping* at each other as they settle in the dusk
"Tending toward a tone" is soooo well set. This is a very sleepy, curl-up and rest song.
I use haiku a lot to strip purple prose down to basics from which I can rebuild to a lyric, rarely have I been brave enough to set them unaltered. You've done well!
*actually swearing at each other "I'm here and you stay there OR ELSE!"

Wow. Maybe even I could meditate if I got to listen to this while I did. I love how the music and singing reflects trying and sometimes succeeding in quieting the mind.

Absolutely lovely! Love the images and sentiment created by the haiku. Your unique sound draws me in and transports me to a beautiful place. The sparse use of chimes works brilliantly.

The tone of your voice is so different on this one, the control in your voice is so good for something sang *so* soft. The loose backing vocals and glock hits are a really nice touch indeed. The tempo change is really cool and feels so natural too.

Ooh...this is so trippy cool!!! Love the bells, tight and dissonant harmonies. The second verse is just beautiful as is the rest. Your voice is so unique. I must listen to some more!
