about

In October of 2012 I took a two-week trip to Burlington. It rained almost the entire time. I spent most of those two weeks in my friend’s art studio in the old north end, with a woodburning stove and a really old piano. One late night I sat down to play the piano and wrote Santa Anna. I’m still not entirely sure what it’s about or where it came from, and i'm not sure it matters to know such things.

lyrics

She said she could see auras the energy dancing around at the base of your spine
They were usually colors but she said that yours it was simply a column of light
Shooting into the atmosphere- bleeding into the afterlife,
She said your purpose it isn’t here,
No it’s up in the skies,
And straight in the middle of,
darling your dancing symmetrical eyes,
there is an arrow, and it points to the dark, dark matter of your mind.

And in the harbor all the ships came bearing secrets from the otherworld
All the whores and ethereal girls
I fell in love with her
But Santa Ana never falls for lonely sailors
The only thing she ever wants,
is to be the wind in which I toss
To see me drift forever lost
To smash my ship against the rocks
And leave me breathless on the dock
Is to be the wind in which I toss

she said “I spent so long outside of my body- I spent so long outside of my mind-
I spent so long in absolute darkness, and I spent so long in absolute light,
And sometimes I still wish I was crazy
At least then I’d have god on my side
It’s better than being half asleep while everyone’s telling you to look alive- look alive.”

And in the harbor all the ships came bearing secrets from the otherworld
All the whores and ethereal girls
I fell in love with her
But Santa Ana never falls for lonely sailors
The only thing she ever wants,
is to be the wind in which I toss
To see me drift forever lost
To smash my ship against the rocks
And leave me breathless on the dock
Is to be the wind in which I toss
