Stone House On Blueberry Hill
words and music by David Elias
Em
Well the wire was strung higher than
D Em
anyone there could have known
D
And the kinder the reminder the less
Em
chance they'd make it back home
There was smoke, there was fog
There were blueberries wild on the hill
There was silence there was humming
Pacing and drums without will
C D Bm A Em
C D Bm A C D Em Bm B7
There's a signal in the campfire and nobody knows what it means
There's a young man who looks old and tired
With eyes that won't say anything
There's a soldier, there's a farmer
A stone house burned black from within
There are friendships that have parted
And brothers who are missing their kin
C D Bm A Em
C D Bm A C D Em Bm B7
There's a buckle made of silver
A leather purse empty of coins
And a bottle to deliver some freedom wherever you're going
I was there
I was watching
From an island of trees they were ash
I was empty
I was lonesome
I had questions and no one to ask
There's a blue ridge in the Blue Ridge
And a history of wanderers there
If you're lost in those mountains
Remember to look for me there
C D Bm A Em
C D Bm A C D Em Bm B7

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.
