Strange World, Red Moon (We Built Time a Bed)

Liner Notes
#folkpunk #lowestfi
I was taken with the images in the poem @mahtowin wrote. I had some trouble recording, but I told her I'd get something up before leaving for vacation. I made my own microphone out of a Big Gulp cup, some duct tape, and peat moss...or that's how it sounds. I imagine rocking out a long outro.
Lyrics
Like a moon in a strange world
The rose hip shines red
(Strange world, red moon)
Like a moon in a strange world
The rose hip shines red
From the branches of the leafless wild rose
Silent beauty in a frozen fog
I breathe out all my sleep
Uncanny frozen dreams
Enchanted crystal forests
Soap bubbles in ice
Time lingers here
We invite her to rest
Between ice crystals
We build her a bed
Made of raven feathers
(Get that through your head)
I breathe out all my sleep
Uncanny frozen dreams
Enchanted crystal forests
Soap bubbles in ice
Time lingers here
We invite her to rest
Time lingers here
We invite her to rest
(Strange world, red moon)
Time lingers here
We invite her to rest
Between ice crystals
We built her a bed

Gongrats on recording this and keeping the mysterious mood.
