Had this song permanently playing in my head for the last few days so Dusty got us the soundtrack today…its the song they hear after the Poppy spell right before they see Emerald city….

Opening night last night of beautiful Laura Kinsinger and Aaron Montaigne’s Galerie Salome…battery on my camera died right before the performances….the Ferratusco photographs were so beautiful and the space looked like it had always been there…..such a good opener…love you two…xxxxx

Trying to sort thru all my files of old work and sketches and came across these oldies….feels like ages ago since i made these pieces…..

When i first came to Portland the first piece of work i worked on was the Avalanche and all i would listen to while making it was Comus….Dusty just found out he gets to play a show with them in Spain this summer…and so…i’m revisiting all their music with an achey heart today since i won’t get to see them…..I love all the songs with Bobby best of all….they give me shivers.

this one especially….

Maybe Bobby is a figuuuurrrrrrre in my dreamsssss……

I dropped by Rad Summer to see Ruth this week and gave her this cream puff Swan dessert for always being such a sweetheart…Shes IS a real life opalescent black Swan afterall….

With my ego in my gut,

My babbling mouth would wash it up.

(But now I’ve started learning how,)

I keep it shut.

My door was never locked,

Until one day a trigger come cocking.

(But now I’ve started learning how,)

I keep it shut.

Wide eyes would clean and dust

Things that decay, things that rust.

(But now I’ve started learning how,)

I keep ‘em shut.

I keep ‘em shut.

Harm is in us.

Harm is in us, but power to arm.

Harm is in us.

Harm in us, but power to arm.

Harm is in us.

(”Leave it open!”)

Harm is in us, but power to arm.

Narrow mind would persecute it,

Die a little to get to it.

(But now I’ve started learning how.)

I leave it open.

I kept it in a cage,

Watched it weeping, but I made it stay.

(But now I’ve started learning how.)

I leave it open.

I leave it open.

Harm is in us.

Harm in us, but power to arm.

Harm is in us.

Harm in us, but power to arm.

Harm is in us.

(”Leave it open!”)

Harm in us, but power to arm.

Harm is in us.

Harm in us, but power to arm.

Harm is in us.

(”Leave it open!”)

Harm in us, but power to arm.

Harm is in us.

Harm in us, but power to arm.

Harm is in us.

Har in us, but power to arm.

Harm is in us!

Harm is in us!

Harm is in us!

Harm is in us!

Harm is in us!

Harm is in us–

Harm in you and in me!

What you letting in?

Tell me what you’re letting in.

Say what we’re gonna let in!

“We let the weirdness in.*

We let the weirdness in.

We let the weirdness in.

We let the weirdness in.

We let the weirdness in.”

Tons more to come….and even better yet….saving the best til last…
