Description
Heightened sent me a track recently to collab on - but I was so taken by it's beauty and simplicity that I was hard pressed to play over it or even sing a melody.
Meanwhile - people have been remarking on the poetry of my brother Will's lyrics - so it seemed only right to read a recent poem along with Joe's track.
Joe's music went on to develop into a longer, wonderful and more complex piece of music that I hope he develops further. I used the beginning only and added just a few tweaks and and one synth line towards the end. If you're not familiar with his music - check it out - Heightened
- it's great.
Here's another example of Will's poetry in a musical setting - Times Square 2005

Lyrics
Awake
heart beating
beneath laced fingers
quiet rise and
fall of breath
sunlight streaming
through the blinds
sparrows chirping
faintly on the fence
morning doves cooing
in the lemon tree
woodpecker tattooing
a utility pole
surface traffic
sighing past the window
steady hum of freeway
in the distance
eyes open
awake!
