about

Here's the audio version of the cover song/video I just completed for the Adrianne Lenker/Big Thief song "Terminal Paradise". Check out the video (I tried my best) on YouTube here
youtu.be/mO0_2Z-V53s
It's best listened to with 2 speakers since I did some stereo recording experiments as part of it, but whatever you've got will do. It was a rewarding experience learning about the songwriter by deconstructing the song and learning about myself as an artist as I reconstructed it.

It was a nice change to go from my last song I posted having no guitars to this one being primarily guitars. The Jazzmaster was the star of this one playing one part in the chorus and one in the outro/chorusy thing. Connecting with an instrument as I play it is a joy of mine.

lyrics

Warm
So warm
Screaming in the field
As I was born

Worm
Will you return me
To the robin's beak?
I'll be a bird

Terminal
We both know
Let the rest of me go
See my death lead (become) a trail
And the trail leads to a flower
I will blossom in your sail
Every dreamed and waking hour

Woman
Woman
Hold me in your heat
'Til I re
Don't let me, till I re
Don't let me, but I remember

Terminal
We both know
Let me rest, let me go
See my death lead (become) a trail
And the trail leads to a flower
I will blossom in your sail
Every dreamed and waking hour

<I always record some sort of mistake with these>
