supple 02:25
sit here with your supple thought sit here with all that you’ve got my heart is open wide for you i would split the sky for you
2.
hundred year old chestnut tree the things you’ve heard the things you see i am weaving my way home from green lake dancin with the dusk an apple from the ground a day will surely keep the doc away n I think I’ve caught a cold but i sure haven’t got cold feet n I’m hoping that you keep in touch hills were always myths to me grew up cradled by citrus trees but I’m tangled up in blackberries and bridges into white, now o Wallingford be kind to me I’ve got this cat for company n these daydreams bout last weekend sweet as hunny in my tea n I’m hoping that you keep in touch lots o people left to meet but I’m hoping that we keep in touch

stride 03:23
like fruit unripe holdin onto the vine, if it won’t let it go, just give it some time my eyelets are woven, my eyes are wide open it is honest to cry I like who I am even with room to grow footsteps so light my eyelets are woven up tight n each step is a stride half dollars n dimes I’m takin my time, I won’t hold it too close From sidewalk to sky my eyes are wide open, I know that each step is a stride

virgeaux 05:05
when ur feeling down put ur feet on solid ground move ur body all around, mind will follow give your shoulders to the sun, not too long before she’s gone leavin you with mason jars full of summer i dunno where to put my missin sometimes i dunno where to put my missin sometimes heart is fuller than the moon, but head is full o thoughts of you love ya more than birthday cards sent from the west coast reap the harvest that you’ve sown, she will come and she will go carrying armsful of the Hope that you gave her ill be coming home to you in the winter i dunno where to put my missin sometimes i dunno where to put my missin sometimes

I am a borrower,
thank you to everyone who made up the branches of the evergreen giving tree that made this EP possible:

the sweetest band in the Pacific Northwest...
Jonny Modes - for percussion*, recording, mixing, for being there from very the first baby steps I took in Seattle with open arms and a basement to fill
Emily Silks - for bass*, for piano^ improvisation, for figuring out a new city by my side and sprinkling me with snacks along the way, my temporary roommate, sweet sister subletter
Bill Cones - for pedal steel*, for tinctures and porch beers and having a knack for surviving the improbable, the luckiest unlucky wonder that I know, thank goodness

you each offered your time and effort and trust to me without my ever having to ask. it has meant an ineffable much.


additional thanks to:

Chad Viator, for engineering expertise and endless guidance and inspiration
Colin Much, for lending your Stratocaster, for your flawless friendship
Burt, for letting us rehearse for hours outside of your bedroom and genuinely enjoying it
sweet feline Europa Wikipedia Wingding, for the purrs^ and for the company, for getting me out of bed each day
magic lanes, for your open arms and ears and bedrooms,
and o so many more -- you know who you are.

I hope, with this project, to give at least a little bit back to u
