acabadinha de sair, fruto de um projecto que a própria história cativa, é uma musica que me deixa expectante com o que está para vir. esta por si só já tem a delicadeza que a coloca nas minhas favoritas no geral, e em particular para qualquer momento em que o recomeço coincide com aquele suspiro profundo que damos perante as coisas admiráveis...
by Dawn Mitschele:
"Last summer, I received an email from an amazing local writer, lyricist and musician, Al Howard. He said he’d heard me in the studio at 91x and was wondering if I’d be down to collaborate. Turned out we are both from the beautiful garden state of New Jersey and we even went to high school 10 miles away from each other! He told me he was on a Greyhound journey, headed a dozen states away and wanted to send me some inspiration from the road to see if I could spin his words into song. I remember when I got the first set of lyrics and it felt like home. There was something in his words that was so reminiscent of all the writers I loved reading and studying as an English major in NYC. So, I sat down on my kitchen floor and wrote the first song. I sent it off to him less than an hour later…and our little project was born! Now known as Ivy & Stone, we’ve written a collection of songs over the past year and we are having our first show on March 28th at Java Joe’s. Here’s a little taste of what to expect:
Ivy & Stone Tarot
I've come to read the
tarot of the skyline
To see the families
overdressed at church
As if god was amused
By your finest suits
and jewels
I've come / to walk /
beside the hearse
I've overheard the
gossip and conjectures
I've overheard your
heartbeat in the night
Though we have no guilt
to hide
We lost nature as our
guide
I'm here to get her
back on our side
So all
That once
Seemed safe
To us
Has all
But fallen
Into
Dust
And you’re
The only
One
Who I can trust
We try to govern all
our best impulses
We blame and tame the
animal within
Some days I wanna smoke
Drink fire down my
throat
Some days I wanna have
my way with sin
I know we do not always
share a language
(though) We speak a
midnight tongue by candlelight
And I tried to
understand
And I held tight to
your hand
And told you everything
would be alright
So all
That once
Seemed safe
To us
Has all
But fallen
Into
Dust
And you’re
The only
One
Who I can trust
I'm here to harvest all
my fears and burn them
To douse the field with
gasoline and fire
And say a prayer to you
And catch hold of my
youth
And when I say I tried
/ not be a liar
Cause love is a
chameleon ever changing
And love is all the
distance you can reach
Until we meet again
Caught in what may have
been
Love is where we hide
and all we seek
