lyrics

see,
even
when you are sitting still
you are
soaring at 100 000 000 mph
round the sun

so that everything you
happen upon follows you forever in an
endless chase across the cosmos

know what loves you flying & what loves you chained
know what loves you manic, & what loving loves you
sane
sane
sane

see, we are never far apart
& coming home to you is

same as it is
same as it was
same as it always will be

know what loves you dancing & what loves you tamed
know what love subdues you & what loving loves you
strange
strange
strange
strange

i am never far away,
spinning, chasing through the day...

names upon the silver screen
supermodels on a magazine
you are every summer sweet
lilac purple, jasmine green

the earth it stirs & we turn & we turn
you are every voice picking up all my phone calls
when it rings & we sing & we sing
“would you be my dancer, catch my trust falls?”

Tiny Holes sounds intriguing. Looking forward to the full drop. Will there be a vinyl release as well? You can count me in if so. mjwhite99

I love this album. My students are confused by it at the beginning as I play it with my office door open, but they wind up getting curious. I also introduced one to "Just Constellations," and they were mesmerized. Way to go, RoT! arnisking
