Right By You

Two days in already starting to die
tried every window, full and partial sunlight
tried to read the leaves, are you a cactus or a tree
do you need a little desert, would you rather it be raining
I just wanna do right by you
Show me how to
tell me what you need
you’re a mystery, I am too
I just wanna do right you
In the free box at the bargain store I found you
there’s no hiding tailored lines, at that moment I knew
little frayed around the sleeves, didn’t get your stitch in time
the tag said dry clean only but you’re holding up just fine
I just wanna do right by you
Show me how to
tell me what you need
you’re a mystery, I am too
I just wanna do right you
Box said fragile, assembly required on the back
and the parts arrived in tiny plastic bags
read it all a thousand times, figured out what they were for
just a could screws left over on the living room floor
I just wanna do right by you
Show me how to
tell me what you need
you’re a mystery, I am too
I just wanna do right you

Parliament And Celadon

I’d like to get some good rest in before I die
I’d like to take a left turn and not look for traffic on my right
if you don’t feel it now do you feel anything at all?
I’ll call you by your old name, call you whatever you want
I am them, I’m one of them, and so are you
by now you’ve scraped up every bit of pleasure that you wanted to
here’s a metaphor, here’s a bible verse
I met the sliding doors version of myself
I’ve never met anybody else
today I heard your singing voice in every sound
you never knew to push your luck, you only took what you’re allowed
tell your old house you forgive it now, burnt by parliaments and celadons
you won’t return until you’re really gone

Glad to hear your brother’s doing alright
a little lonely but I’m mostly fine
thanks for askin,
how’s the baby,
not much lately
Sometimes it sparks, keeps time in the dark
mostly just echoes off walls
sometimes I think it can’t outrun me
some days it swallows me whole.
Pullin it apart before it hits the floor
am I just tall enough to touch the stove
waiting for the sound of
something to sound like
somethin you already know
Sometimes it sparks, keeps time in the dark
mostly just echoes off walls
sometimes I think it can’t outrun me
somedays it swallows me whole
A light a call a letter,
or just louder than I realized
sometimes I think it can’t outrun me
somedays it swallows me whole

Idaho-Dakota

They’re asking you “where are you from?
No, where are you really-really from?”
You say Ohio
You say Nevada
Haven’t you given them enough
Count it slowly now you don’t owe anyone
Anymore, you’re on your own
But I draw you closer
I draw you taller than you really are
I draw a border between Idaho and Dakota
I’m just as shocked as anybody else could be
At every time you open up your perfect teeth
And say “hello,” you say “how are ya?”
But I draw you closer
I draw you taller than you really are
I draw a border between Idaho and Dakota
You’re asking me what do I want
You ask so kindly what do I want
I say I don’t know
what did I ask for?
And you call me over
You pull me forward
We’re on the border, the border
And we let in whoever we want
I draw you closer
I draw you taller than you really are
I draw a border, a border
Between Idaho and Dakota

waking up in the night
to a tap at your window
cutting light of the law
they’re not here to help you
well i wouldn’t give em shit, but it sounds like you did
mmmm
whatever you’re burning off
whatever you’re burning through
houses friends and jobs
there’s something better
I know you’ll get to
taught me all of their names
violet sage and yarrow
but they change all the time
so you let em go
well the patterns I see
they’re not the same in me
mmmm
whatever you’re burning off
whatever you’re burning through
houses friends and jobs
there’s something better
I know you’ll get to
rested in clay
with a wreath on your head
but you braided those branches till your fingers bled
well I don’t care what they say,
I don’t care what they said
whatever you’re burning off
whatever you’re burning through
houses friends and jobs
there’s something better
I know you’ll get to

Waking the Dreaming Body
by Karima Walker
supported by 17 fans who also own “Among Horses V”
A revelatory blend of ambient and folk, some tracks one or the other, some a blend more one way than the other and vice versa. Well written lyrics and beautiful singing in addition and instrumentals as well. A more-fully realized vision of previous releases with so much headroom leaving you confident what's in the future shall evolve further and equally leave the senses enraptured.

Hands in Our Names
by Karima Walker
supported by 14 fans who also own “Among Horses V”
I found Karima the year my job ended on a vinyl record that someone sold to me at PDQ Records where I worked. I took it home to listen to and it never came back. From the abstract electronics to the gorgeous folkish melodies, she has become one of my favorite artists in less than a year.
go to album
Delicate, plangent singer-songwriter material that feels like its petals could fall at any moment.
go to album
The Belgian duo use violin, banjo, gongs and bird calls to create looping, gentle songs that mimic the ambience of the natural world.
