lyrics
Not Near Enough (David Elias)
I went down to Whiskeytown not near enough
I filled my water on the way not near enough
I took a room by some blue lagoon not near enough
Watched those waves come crashing through
Not near enough
I built a boat of rushing reeds not near enough
Packed a bag of apple seeds not near enough
I said a prayer and combed my hair not near enough
Lit out for the ocean air
Not near enough
Broke my bread on my brother's head not near enough
I wondered if enough was said not near enough
It wasn't clear to cheer me up not near enough
Forget I'm here I'll disappear
Not near enough
I went down to Whiskeytown not near enough
I filled my water on the way not near enough
I took a room by some blue lagoon not near enough
Watched those waves come crashing through
Not near enough
I went down to Whiskeytown not near enough
I filled my water on the way not near enough
I took a room by some blue lagoon not near enough
Watched those waves come crashing through
Not near enough
I built a boat of rushing reeds not near enough
Packed a bag of apple seeds not near enough
I said a prayer and combed my hair not near enough
Lit out for the ocean air
Not near enough
Broke my bread on my brother's head not near enough
I wondered if enough was said not near enough
It wasn't clear to cheer me up not near enough
Forget I'm here I'll disappear
Not near enough
I went down to Whiskeytown not near enough
I filled my water on the way not near enough
I took a room by some blue lagoon not near enough
Watched those waves come crashing through
Not near enough

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.

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.
