lyrics

hold my hand, darling, while we walk along the river and stand by that chateau as king and queen. i have made some mistakes for which the price has to be paid, but while i can here with you i will sing, “oh, to be you, and see the world as you do from the other side of the moon.” when i reach back for your hand, you’ve disappeared again to the other side of the moon. was your path a misprint? was it hard for your sister? did anybody truly understand? i’ve left some bridges burning when the tables began turning, but today feels like everything went to plan. time and time again we start things just to end at the other side of the moon, so won’t you be my marianne and i will be your fool on the other side of the moon. (you know this won't work anymore. unpack and go.)

keep it simple wave from the window iron out that wrinkle in your shirt how are you feeling staring at the ceiling i just keep listening to kurt keep a safe distance state your resistance wish that this didn’t have to hurt keep a safe distance keep it consistent keep a safe distance from the world

about

every person has a story about the coronavirus pandemic; this is not one of them. it is, however, the result of an extensive amount of consideration around events, both personal and social, that transpired during or because of covid. i don’t see this as some meditation on panic or loss, but rather a direct reflection on the experiences and observations that created those feelings; it is a record about inhaling smoke, about being a moth drawn to the flame, about dancing on a bed of coals, about watching emergency lights cast flickering shadows against the walls at night.

thank you for listening.
