lyrics
The Riddle Song - by David Elias
I took a little piece of thread from the pillow on my bed
I put it underneath my arm to keep it safe and keep it warm
It found its way into my heart
Where it was destined from the start
That’s the way it goes, ain’t that the way it goes
I picked a penny from the floor
Walking through the hardware store
I put it into my old shoe, it seemed to be the thing to do
It found its way into my soul filling up an empty hole
That’s the way it goes, ain’t that the way it goes
A feather landed on my knee
When I was leaning ‘gainst a tree
It wasn’t any kind of test
Just looking for a place to rest
It found its way under my skin
Grew to spread its wings within
That’s the way it goes, ain’t that the way it goes
I took a little piece of thread from the pillow on my bed
I put it underneath my arm to keep it safe and keep it warm
It found its way into my heart
Where it was destined from the start
That’s the way it goes, ain’t that the way it goes
I picked a penny from the floor
Walking through the hardware store
I put it into my old shoe, it seemed to be the thing to do
It found its way into my soul filling up an empty hole
That’s the way it goes, ain’t that the way it goes
A feather landed on my knee
When I was leaning ‘gainst a tree
It wasn’t any kind of test
Just looking for a place to rest
It found its way under my skin
Grew to spread its wings within
That’s the way it goes, ain’t that the way it goes

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.
