about

The last tune tells of yet another mythical character, a woman who lives in the wilds outside the collapse of the modern world, and tends a fire, keeping a place where the weary can seek shelter, comfort, and transcendence.

lyrics

oh how wide
your weary eyes
they train your view
on darkening skies
 
over the ridge
where waters collide
she's building a bridge
to a long-buried time
 
with sunlight in her hands
and dew upon her feet
and the words upon her breath
that i long to meet
 
with sunlight in her hands
and dew upon her feet
and the words upon her breath
that i long to pardon me
 
oh how long
have i been away?
the trees have grown strong
and the sea has grown gray
 
over the ridge
where the waters collide
she's building a bed
where the weary can lie
 
with sunlight in her hands
and dew upon her feet
and the words upon her breath
that i long to meet
 
with sunlight in her hands
and dew upon her feet
and the words upon her breath
that i long to pardon me
 
oh how far
have their weary feet roamed?
bound to a dream
reviled in their home
 
over the ridge
where the waters collide
she's building a pyre
where the weary can rise

We are two long lost cousins Jeremy Thal and Gideon Crevoshay and a friend, Greg Chudzik. Our music exists at the crossroads of ambient, indie and so-called new music—delivered with the precision of chamber music, the emotional transparency of folk, and the weight of ritual. ... more
