swarbles.

a mostly goodhearted twentynine year old lady who lives in a land where it's winter half the year. starlings nest in the soffit along the side of my house and mourning doves roost under the roof above of my door stoop. i fall in love all the time.

sometimes i sing.
sometimes i make things.

swarbles,
e6 townhall hoursong volume 15; random

swarbles; fragmentalism.

the weekly elephant 6 townhall hoursong is up.  the theme was the cover art image (which is an image of a woman taking a photo in front of a whole slew of mirrors), which was found by googling “random.”

so i started off writing one thing, and then it turned into something else.  also i’m horribly obsessed with the last chord progression, which i also used last week, and used again this week (and am actually using in a song for whatever it is that i’m working on). but i’m pleased with this, so alright!

available to download from cllct.  the whole thing is available as a zipfile on mediafire.

lyrics:

you know, i don’t understand why
you only photograph mirrors;

reflecting fragments of the world for me,
as though the whole picture was too lovely.

you know, i don’t understand why
you only sing metered measures;

warbling fragments of the world for me,
as though the whole song was too lovely.

you know, i can understand why
you’re all i want to see
and you’re all i want to hear,
so could this be?
