Library of Glass

Liner Notes

Lyrics I've been ruminating over the last few days.

I like where this idea is headed, but I don't have time to flesh it out, unfortunately, so here's a rough demo I made in one hour to get the idea across.

Lyrics

Palm leaves resting easy At the crowning of the sea

One soul away from knowing What’s the sound of falling trees

Calm waves make for calmer days To set this sorrow free

You’ll be in my dreams Even long after you leave

Count the follicles of greenery Mark the pebbles as they pass Every article of scenery In my library of glass

Many years have been my family Now this wonder is my own Every hope and dream I’d ever need To leave and never be alone

So I throw the vessel Far into Poseidon Watching as she wrestles With his mighty trident

Stormy waves are stirring The heavens and the water Father’s heart is worried For his little daughter

So I throw the vessel Far into Poseidon Watching as she wrestles With his mighty trident

Stormy waves are stirring The heavens and the water Father’s heart is worried For his little daughter

Count the follicles of greenery Mark the pebbles as they pass Every article of scenery In my library of glass

Many years have been my family Now this wonder is my own Every hope and dream I’d ever need To leave and never be alone

So I throw the vessel Far into Poseidon Watching as she wrestles With his mighty trident

Stormy waves are stirring The heavens and the water Father’s heart is worried For his little daughter

Yet the valiant vessel Braves the great Poseidon Soon enough she nestles In the gold horizon

Misty eyes are blurring The heavens and the water Father’s heart is yearning For his parted daughter

So I throw the vessel (Palm leaves resting easy) Far into Poseidon Watching as she wrestles (At the crowning of the sea) With his mighty trident

Stormy waves are stirring (One soul away from knowing) The heavens and the water Father’s heart is worried (What’s the sound of falling trees) For his little daughter

Yet the valiant vessel (Calm waves make for calmer days) Braves the great Poseidon Soon enough she nestles (To set this sorrow free) In the gold horizon

Misty eyes are blurring (You’ll be in my dreams) The heavens and the water Father’s heart is yearning (Even long after you leave) For his parted daughter

I was clicking through "Random Song" and hit on this beauty! I glanced at the lyrics, not reading the words, just noticing that there were a lot of them, so I checked the length of the song: well under 3 minutes! So I had to listen to see how you did it! Ah! You didn't! Mystery solved. It was still a lovely experience. Thank you.

I loved these lyrics. You really have a knack for painting with words. The Posideon part really touched me actually. I can't wait to hear when you finish it💯

Dreamy feel and lyrics to match. Loving your voice. I can imagine this opening with this very bare production, but at some point something a bit more rhythmic kicking in and later falling away again. I look forward to hearing where you take this.
