    This is one of the most exciting things I've done! Cassettes sound great, they look great, and they're a perfect collector's item (I made a small run of 40). In addition to a digital download of the album (download card with code included with item), you'll get:

    a 2-sided retro-lilac cassette with metallic 'rich gold' pad-print lettering in a clear case; gorgeous cover artwork by Mila Kapustina; and that warm fuzzy feeling of satisfaction when that cassette clicks into place and the music starts :)

    Made in conjunction with Bee-Side Cassettes - beesidecassettes.bandcamp.com

about

inspired by Pilgrim at Tinker Creek.
Dedicated to Michelle Weiser, who gave me the book and never heard this song.

lyrics

I wish I were the earth
and all that's in between
the falling of the stars
and the turning of the leaves
And when the stars awake
we can go right back to sleep
as we fall into the earth
and all the worms

And you and I were made
from salt from clay
from a fire from the sea
and night from day
And all we ever were
and all we'll ever be
is fodder for the earth
and all the worms

And there is nothing more that we can wait for
And we don't have a choice as long as we all turn to dust

And you and I will wake
to a sweet decay
at the bottom of the sea
silky soft and grey
And if we could only learn
how to say these magic words
we could all live like the birds
like the birds
