Cold Red Sun 03:09
Everything prayed in the grid and pushed against the way things are not supposed to be but the way things are not supposed to be was built by the children of the way things are built by the children of the way things once were and the grid held the river knowing they won't last they're lovers inside divine truth and the cold blue desert on either horizon and the cold red sun sits behind them again at the beginning and at the end at the beginning and at the end the cold red sun the cold red sun
2.
Frost still in the shadows and all they have is loss in that tiny grid down below the ridge cottonwood dropped its last leaves but something still remembers them all somethings still remembers the mine fires and something remembers the smoke and as for me I walked away from there to find that only the cold can tell the true story of place just how hard it is to find a way and that's space holiness despite absence of life and that's god all of all despite not having a hand in the fates therein and that's place divinity despite being unaware of the one walking through the desert tonight

about

Every song and subsequently every album begins with a place. In this digital 7" release I have tried to acknowledge the overlapping events (both true and imagined) that have come to pass in a small mining town on the Colorado Plateau. I hope this acknowledgement will allow us to see a place as it really is: a place-world with dimensions stretching from pre-history to the distant future. The song is an effort to give a more comprehensive name to a place because naming implies respect and melody anchors names—and thus understanding—to our memories.
