clarence cornish This entire album seems to feel like a smokey, melancholy, ode perseverance, Amy's voice layers her songs with an aching defiance,which wages a losing battle with quiet resignation, Akin to walking for an eternity, and suddenly reflecting upon all that you've left behind... Favorite track: Training Winter Jasmine.

we will run for hours we will tear thru the woods waiting for the music to stop waiting for the light to turn the soles of our shoes are wearin thin but i’ll continue in one direction the old canteen is by my side we’ll be marching thru the night. don’t you know how hard i try .. how hard i try over these ridges the bridges are burning and i’ve nowhere to lay my head where have all my comrades gone to lay their bodies down to rest don’t you know how hard i try

walk to the park and take a minute maybe some fresh air will help clear our heads i have seen way too much this month these grievances take from us .. they take been realistic about love been optimistic about the weather but i’ve been complacent bout us so maybe it’s time we walk to the park and take a minute to rewrite the map for the thousandth time we make our revisions it’s not enough just to wonder if .. if ... if been realistic about love been optimistic about the weather but i’ve been complacent bout us so maybe it’s time we walk to the park and take a minute decide today to change our minds

i’ve got ideas that might make the paper someday got folded up maps showin where i’m gonna be i’ve got dreams that could sail a boat to the east pages and pages and pages of drawings but that don’t mean so much to me you’ve got me beggin ... you’ve got me beggin ... you’ve got me beggin.. and beggin.. and beggin... i got ideas that might make the press someday got folded up maps showin where i’m gonna be i’ve got dreams that could sail a boat to the east pages and pages and pages of drawings but that don’t mean so much ... if you’re not in my story with me

Arizona 05:10
arizona the air is can hardly stand it, a shock to my system north to southern we’re back where home is while east and west .. they tug at our sides you paint your beginnings like a ragged maker with no direction, only dots only dots you’re a mountain, but i’m a raven i rise above the scene and go you’re dividing a precious something so i will leave behind the scene and go i’ll go is this what you wanted call it what you what then i need a new definition please sweeping horizon right next to the surface i’m losing my balance in the grandest of canyons you’re a mountain, but i’m a raven i rise above the scene and go you’re dividing a precious something so i will leave behind the scene and go i’ll go i’ll go

all the hunters came at once with their weapons drawn they arrived without warning i’m losing one by one my systems.. my systems try as i might i couldn’t fight them off it was one on twenty-nine it was a lost cause it was a lost cause training winter jasmine training winter it all seems very blunt right to my chest i swear it’s right to my chest right to my chest i swear it’s right to my chest

Dorothy 03:31
i wrote this down with my finest words .. my finest words you know me well you know i’m not a man of many words i pulled my hankerchief our of the pocket you sewed last year if i can say so myself i’d say this pocket’s had too much use in a year most of my life i spent wishin most of my life i spent wishin and now i guess i’ll never change ‘cause i’m still wishin only now .... it’s for one more time around maybe i’ll wake up in the mornin and you’ll be right next to me and we can sing one more hymn ... you know i don’t sing very well alone most of my life i spent wishin most of my life i spent defendin why i don’t owe nobody my affection but now i’m here without you

Beloved 03:59
there are voices that find us wreaking havoc in the most subtle of dialects you’re small . you’re not good enough... and you’ll never be . we listen and we gather enough courage in our defense while with a glance they say, 'believe in us' they say, ' concede to us ' they say, ' make peace with us ' but you ... you ... your heart your hands your eyes your dreams are beloved your heart your hands your eyes .. and everything that you see in your dreams beloved
8.
no more swirling on this ride making your way in circles no more letting stealers in to parade so careless no more holding on to what they’ve done yesterday’s lovers yesterday ... you were breathing shallow you were seeing with short - sighted eyes and then i found you i say i know you i will pull you out i found you and i love you and i see you for all you are for all you are
