Needle Heart

pull apart the needle heart for all the sons and daughters
remember when your mother said that all of this was fodder
do you see the maple trees shadow in the water
silhouette, marionette, jeanette and edwards daughter
dont kill the messenger
thats always inside
dont kill the messenger
we all wait in line
dont kill the messenger
its all a waste of time
dont kill the messenger
we love the ones who die
thread the holes of parted souls to flagships on the water
pull apart the needle heart and put it back together

i counted your seven lies
one for your daughter and six for your wife
i whisper you a somber goodbye
the rustling waves took me by surprise
i counted up seven lives
forgotten daughter who travels by night
i sing to you a songbirds goodbye
the rustling waves took me by surprise

Think Before You Drink

As a child I had no knowledge
No way to understand
My father kept me sheltered
He would hold me in his hands
You know I was protected
With no threat from anywhere
I drank my mothers milk
I didn't have a care
But it didn't last forever
I was soon sent off to school
Where the teachers gave me poison
And I drank it like a fool
We took pride in our past
What our leaders said they fought for
To justify the murders
Of the children in the war
They said that mother nature
Couldn't give us what we need
And that explained the factories
And the pollution in the street
They gave us all the facts
Explaining economic war
And like a fool I listened
But I won't listen anymore
So before the final slaughter
Please stop and think
You can lead a horse to water
But you cannot make him drink
So before the final slaughter
Please stop and think
You can lead a horse to water
But you cannot make him drink.

follow me down the wandering path
where no one can see us and nothing is asked
and we laugh and dance among the flowers
that grow as we all do and take what they want to
because this is the place where being is fine
its goes on

Battle of the Bark

fair was all they wanted from the little ones
who tried to resolve the never ending battle of the bark
jesus where do i start
for the pond
a golden sun
a bed of leaping frogs
and the trees
that whistle
and the singing bird responds
with its delicate song
always taking turns
lessons to be learned
fair was all they wanted from the monsters of the marsh
so it starts
the never ending battle of the bark
in the light there is dark

I've been a fan for a long time and I am floored by this album. this is the culmination of YEARS of work. And it's truly a mindblowing album. I remember seeing Hortus Musicus 3 live in a backyard in suburban Chicago. locked it in my head ever since. hearing it again to close out this album gave me an insane rush of emotions. Also, "Little Tree" is the best song he's ever written imo. To hear the sound of Melaina Kol develop over the years has been a privilege and a wild experience.
