Description:
Something new.
really rough live take, but i like the song. Never recorded it before.

Lyrics:
Feel free to manipulate my words; to edit and change phrase shape and time. I try to convince you. I swear to god I didn't think you'd mind.
I wish the moon would swallow the sun.

You're used to me by now, I'm sure, though I resurface as whomsoever I desire. There's no way to know except through memory, whether or not we're defeated by cold desire.
Why won't the moon just swallow the sun?

Are you awake and dying to be consumed?
Where do you wait to be led through?
I slip away to wipe of defeat and the never ending stare.
We find ouselves okay in spite of never knowing what to do.

I wish the moon would swallow,
Why won't the moon just swallow,
I want the moon to swallow,
Why can't the moon just swallow the sun.

Thank you for the comment. I'm sorry I didn't reply sooner, I just noticed the other day that I hadn't responded to anything posted on this song. Didn't mean to be rude.
I just posted a new version of this if you're interested.

Doesn't &mdash 07/26/07 - 01:38:59 AM
sound rough to me. I really like the treatment you have given this song. A stark lonely beautiful guitar and a stark lonely beautiful vocal. Great lyrics from the heart. Love it. Downloaded. Thanks.
Cheers

(Must play it again right now)

Well this.. &mdash 07/26/07 - 11:35:01 AM
is certainly 'different'. I really like the passion and emotion in your voice and your lyrics, though (to me) they have an obscure meaning, they are very interesting and original carrying the song forward. It sort of has a Blues feel for me and I like it, Cheers M

how rude of me &mdash 10/12/07 - 07:38:07 PM
I just noticed today that I never responded to any of the comments on this page.
I do apologize. Haha, it'll never happen again.
Thank you for your kindness. I appreciate it.
Anyway, I just posted a new version of this song if you're into it.

Lordy, your voice is INCREDIBLE. I could listen to you sing all day long (although if the moon swallows the sun, I'll have to revise day to night).
The song has terrific dynamics and the passion in they way you play and sign is so immediate. It feels almost as though you're singing right into my ear.

This is a great live take. I'd love to hear a 'studio' version of this, but don't lose the rough edges that make the feelings so palpable.

I LOVE the line "I wish the moon would swallow the sun," so good on so many levels.

I can remember reading this when you first commented on it and being totally touched. I can't believe I didn't respond to any of the comments on this song. Not my style, and I do apologize.
Anyway, thank you for your words and thoughts. It's responses like that that drive us to do what we do, no?

I've redone and posted this song today if you feel inclined to give it another whirl.

Thanks again.

"Are you awake and dying to be consumed?" is a great stanza. Really great. Very cool intimate moment captured in such a private, improv manner. Exhausted, full of authentic feeling.

Thank you Tobin. Any time you stop in and leave a mark is good news to me. I'm glad you liked this one. Check out the new version if you want. I think it's an improvement.
Thanks,
