Dying Song 03:08
Walking along Child in a song Nothing at all in his head In his head Memory of sun Fencepost and ground World living on when its dead In our heads Love on the run Since we begun Something is gone in our heads In our heads Walking along Child in a song Love living on when its dead In his head

about

This song began as a meditation on catastrophic violence. I was struck and stuck one day thinking about the ways dramatic and sudden death is visited upon the most unlikely victims, often without explanation or warning: bullets ripping through a classroom, a blowing wildfire descending from the mountains, a drone rocket out of the clear blue sky. This theme was gradually transposed through more personal reflections and pliable imagery and I arrived at this song.


Walking along
Child in a song
Nothing at all in his head
In his head

Memory of sun
Fencepost and ground
World living on when it's dead
In our heads

Love on the run
Since we begun
Something is gone in our heads
In our heads

Walking along
Child in a song
Love living on when it's dead
In his head
