Tall Tall Hill 05:04
lyrics

I was told to leave behind everything I brought with me that burning circle on the Tall Tall Hill tell me what you see Am I Only Lonely Lonely World Counting steps on the way down the people stopped and stared In between this ravine they saw the distance of you and me Am I Only Lonely Lonely World I've gotta get out of here, if only for a second It's gonna hurt but only for a second Then it emerged in the holy cistern it came to say good bye I had to face myself again Will I be old then? Am I Only Lonely Lonely World I've gotta get out of here, if only for a second It's gonna hurt but only for a second

lyrics

I'm the darkest I've ever been I know I've said it before I don't remember When I just want affection Some kind of connection It's never enough I just need that touch It's never enough I can't feel love It's all in my head, the one that wants me dead It's all my fault and now you're gone

Death left it's feathers in my heart again Like the black hen laying a white egg why do I ache? You're a fantasy in me and I'm sorry The crickets sing their song again While I cry and watch the crows play Why do I entertain These fantasies I'm sorry

about

"Tall Tall Hill" is a composition of transition. Swirling into the confusion of a changing self, broken ties, love come and gone. The fear of anew and discovering happiness in it. A self talk regiment that has almost become sarcastic and a joke in poor taste. Rain on windows, crickets, green eyes, rope threads, cut grass, teeth grinding, trying to be a flower. Trying to BE again.
The opening title track was inspired by a hypnotism I had undergone in November of 2021. The dialogue is a excerpt from the session. I forgot to listen and paid very little attention to the guidance. I found myself mesmerized by my imaginative visions. Hundreds of folks running in light garb, with instruments and fresh fruit chased by the pollen of the buds they were picked from. Circles of fire, a floating garden at the bottom of an abyss. My sister in tears. Myself 30 years older.

I have been studying very hard this past year including taking weekly violin lessons for the past 7 months. I am so grateful for the voices carrying here, for the teachers, the lovers and the friends.
Thank you.
