lyrics
Higher Ground
- by David Elias
I feel the rain come in
The smell before the wind
Leaves fold down those pale green crowns
Yima Yima Yai
I watch the river rise
Both forks are snake eyes wise
Set me down on higher ground
Yima Yima Yai
I'm back where I came from
The trees the old deer run
Worn out trails
Tucked tired tails
Yima Yima Yai
I'll meet you up the hill
Your hair it's falling still
Lay me down on higher ground
Yima Yima Yai
Those nights were cold and clear
And every star hung near
Reaching round for higher ground
Yima Yima Yai

I'll meet you up the hill
Your hair it's falling still
Lay me down on higher ground
Yima Yima Yai
Those nights were cold and clear
And every star hung near
Reaching round for higher ground
Yima Yima Yai

David Elias recommends:
-
Intricate, exacting, sonically meticulous, extemporary in all its planning, takes you into a room then into a field then into the void.
go to album -
Because of a Flower
by Ana RoxanneBought the vinyl. Spectacular use of sound with some insane vocal tracks overhead.
go to album -
Start at the end and play it backwards. Or forwards. Sideways either way. Squarely unsquare and rapidly descending. Captured.
