down into nite

Liner Notes
winter above the arctic circle for the first time, so about two months without sunrise (except when i flew south for christmas break).
as i returned from the holidays, my window seat gave a great view of entering the shadowlands. i thought then of this title.
wrote these words on the first february weekend.
forced myself to record it just now. didn't want to take much time. kinda wanted to try to sound like a certain singer, but only kinda tried. might like to do a better recording someday. but not these days...
Lyrics
descending in the evening … but it’s always evening somewhere and there’s a line across the world down below that marks the last of the evening light seeing the world from 20 thousand feet through this rarefied air crossing over to the other side … descending down into nite
down into nite down in tonite descending down into nite
inserting oneself into a feeling … where the long night’s a season of its own and there’s so much to be done / while the sun / ‘s still sleeping out of sight breathing in the crystals and the darkness in this petrified air building an outpost on the other side … descending down into nite
down into nite down in tonite descending down into nite
the long slow road to believing … when the nighttime hides the reasons to believe it’s a singular garden grows / as time slows / in the absence of warmth and light peering out at nothing in all directions in unverified air softening and hardening … descending down into nite

Great, thought-provoking lyrics! And you start with a great one, with "Descending in the evening, but it’s always evening somewhere". I love the landscape you paint, I didn't want it to end. Wonderful work here!
