Skin Whispered Bark

I feel light
I feel heavy
And then I don't
Feel anything
Until a branch falls
And with its snap
I hear everything
Echo back
Nothing's still as it seems
Not the blade of grass on your knee
Nor the ground beneath
It all hums in harmony
I've got everything I need
Right here with me
Right here with me
Right here with me
"Skin," whispered bark.
"We were once not as we are."
We are not the same
But we share common DNA;
Reciprocity
Between all living things.

Rachel from Alaska
Did those other girls ever catch up to ya?
Disregarding what your height was,
You were so much better than the rest of us
Because your soul stood ten feet tall
And only seemed to grow each time ya hit the ball.
William, wishful veterinarian,
Were you ever diagnosed with autism?
We were the kings of morning recess,
Roaring at anyone who dared come near us
Because your mind though somewhat strange
Was enraptured by every living thing...
Excluding humanity.
To all my childhood friends:
I know our time was well-spent
Because the details aren't clear
Still I think about you year after year after year.
I know I don't know
Your last names or addresses
So the chances are slim at best
That I'll ever see you again
Where do the memories end
For all those kids I knew when I was ten?

Damper recommends:
everything is alive
by Slowdive
Thom's pick: Slowdive feels just as current and engaging as ever on this one, maybe just as timeless as Souvlaki. From start to finish, it's an absolute soundbath: warm, lush and soaked in melancholy.

House & Trance
by Crime In Stereo
Chris' pick: This was a huge return for Crime in Stereo after a 13 year break. Glitchy soundscaping, catchy vocal hooks and attention to detail make this album a fully cohesive listening experience.

Every Sound Has A Color In The Valley Of Night: Part 1
by Night Verses
Phil's pick: I've had this album on nonstop since it came out. Nick DePirro's guitar is truly incredible and Aric Improta makes excellent use of space as he weaves together layers of rhythm on drums.
