among the trees in the distance a timber wolf runs away you take aim at a red-wing balck bird you didn't have much to say where's the proof where's the oxbow this isn't the finger lakes your voice carries but your back is broken don't let it stand in your way (allis allis allis the land of perfect roots allis allis allis the land for me & you) the a.r.c. boys take their lunches over at your mother's place she does alright well known in the county for her quarter pound t-bone steak you washed their cars with your cousin before she left the state another city another penitentiary all for one, one for all, all for one mistake ~ daniel evans, 2016.

and if you'd lived to study chemistry you'd be a rockstar now and if you'd lived a hundred lifetimes you'd've started a family and if you'd lived to better your records you'd have mastered poetry and if you'd lived to've seen the future where you & i traversed together in mountains in friendship in solidarity in mutual admiration in sunsets victors in mountains in friendship in soldarity in mutual admiration in sunsets victors ~ daniel evans, 2016.

now you're gone sometimes still see red hair bright between the trees no, you're gone i still can feel you guiding the babies and you're with me always (wish i'd have died so you could live) ~ daniel evans, 2016.

about

* allis *



among the trees
in the distance
a timber wolf runs away

you take aim
at a red-wing balck bird
you didn't have much to say

where's the proof
where's the oxbow
this isn't the finger lakes

your voice carries
but your back is broken
don't let it stand in your way

(allis
allis the land of perfect roots

allis
allis the land for me and you

the a.r.c. boys
take their lunches
over at your mother's place

she does alright
well known in the county
for her quarter pound t-bone steak

you washed their cars
with your cousin
before she left the state

another city
another penitentiary
all for what,, all for one mistake



* victors *



and if you'd lived
to study chemistry
you'd be a rockstar now

and if you'd lived
a hundred lifetimes
you'd've started a family

and if you'd lived
to better your records
you'd have mastered poetry

and if you'd lived
to've seen the future
where you & i traversed together

on mountaintops
in friendship
in solidarity
in mutual admiration
in sunsets

victors

on mountaintops
in friendship
in soldarity
in mutual admiration
in sunsets

victors



* liese *



now you're gone
sometimes still see red hair
bright between the trees

no, you're gone
still can feel your guiding
me and the babies


and you're with me always

(i wish i'd have died
so you'd have lived)


________________________


these songs are rooted in an instrumental project by the salt wells titled
automatic red cedar which attempts to tell the story of the location of the
place where we find ourselves. currently, arkansas.

i do wonder how different places may influence the sounds i attempt to
play.

it may be that one day i will discover this first hand. i hope you enjoy six
songs.

it was a little record long in the making.
