about
Monsoon is the first single release from the full-length album, Unfolding the Muse. The song speaks to a delicate introspection and contemplation as the singer ponders his own life in the midst of an eerie storm. A peaceful, otherworldly quality pervades simple vocal layers.
lyrics
Monsoon, you come and go
An ageless path and midnight show
Blue lights upon my skin
Flitter forth and breathe again
Look out, the stinging night
Shadows hang and dance and fly
Reflective, unchanging, this mask is for me
Reflective, unchanging, this mask was made for me
I lay in bed, my castles made of clay
Gold quivers, chariot winds
Guide my reins, O glade and glen
She sleeps in heaven's hair
Look real close and see her there
Someday on milkweed dusk
His hands calm the rage in us
Reflective, unchanging, this mask is for me
Subjective, unchanging, this mask was made for me
Reflective, unchanging, His voice speaks to me
I lay in bed, my castles made of clay
