about

This is a tune that we demo'd here at Sparkle Bones Studio but never put on an album or released. Until now! As for those playing on it we have myself, Todd Erk, Ross Bellenoit, and Carl Cheeseman, all longtime collaborators of mine on many of my records. We realize as listeners of music ourselves that demos can come to be some of our favorite recordings and so we put this out there as is for you :) Enjoy!

lyrics

earthquakes
grand proportions
small movements
cave vibrations
an overgrowing
murky reflections
things are found in acute inspection
big stones
one word abstractions
all roll to pasture
in the course of our actions
perfect vision
imperfection
things broken down into numbers and fractions
i want to know why
but we don't get that
they can explain how
but not why
wormholes other dimensions
pick a paths intersections
i want to know why
but we don't get that
they can explain how but not why
earthquakes
grand proportions
small movements
cave vibrations
