Gossamer

Liner Notes

happy fawm yes i have heard the conor oberst song

Lyrics

I never learned The proper ways And now the weight Is pressing down I thought i’d be In a more stable place By now I’ll never stray Though it may ache Sometimes to put The pen to page No mistake Is any end Of any world

Gossamer thin Such a small incision Such an empty plenum We’re working within Gossamer thin I promise I learned Not to take for granted after So long I wanted it So long Gossamer thin I count my blessings And I count this occlusion As one of them

I never earned A proper stake In any trade And now that time Is passing by For slowing hands It’s enough to slip away I need to re-evaluate With fresher eyes Because no delight Is any means Unto itself Except to find

Gossamer thin Such a small incision Such an empty plenum We’re working within Gossamer thin I promise I learned Not to take for granted after So long I wanted it So long Gossamer thin I count my blessings And I count this occlusion As one of them

I’m so glad SoundCloud served this song up when I was listening to someone else’s song. It feels like an emotional excavation of the phrase “hanging on by a thread” There’s a feeling of being disassociated as a way to handle deep pain. Beautiful song.

absolutely beautiful song and way to wrap up the month. it was really nice to watch it unfold and come together (thank you!) and end on this note. the line with "and I count this occlusion as one of them" is very poignant and got me in my heart. congrats on another fawm!
