Carry Me Across
by @carleybaer
Liner Notes
This came out of me ad-libbing over a drone while trying to keep myself writing yesterday.
Lyrics
oh carry oh carry me across the dark divide oh carry oh carry me across to the other side
i am lost i am somewhere i don’t know i left home so long ago i am lost but if you hold me i am home
i am afraid and the wolves have made it in i’m afraid we will not win i am afraid but if you hold me i am safe

Love your vocals! The sparseness of drone+voice is the perfect backdrop for these lyrics

How beautiful can someones voice be? And come on, the melody as well. So soothing. Almost as if this song carries me home

This beautiful! Had it playing inside my head for half an hour after listening, it just attached to my soul. So good!

the drone makes me wish for longer syllables. love the the scarcity and feel of it. quite wintry and windyfieldy to my ears.

Like a Gallican psalm for this very moment in time. I hope that we all have someone to be our "home" in these times. Brilliantly executed, Carley.

I was drawn in by the cello hashtag. Cool drone, almost like a bagpipe. It really sets the mood of the lyric.

This really sounds amazing and touches me. It reminds me of a mix of prayer music and Irish folk somehow.

Love the way you introduce a new harmony note on "if you hold me." Such a beautiful subtle way to amplify the statement. Lovely piece.
