Summerland 03:44
You speak to me In a language of flowers All laid to rearrange Every passed hour The stars all hang above They make me feel blue For the unlikely chance at all Of knowing you It's the only truth Not forever Only just now The future's open If only were wide Am I the only one who's getting old Whose blonde still grows of summer While the rest of me dulls It's getting old That's just the night talking to you Your boyhood's with the ones you knew And you can't have it now Am I sleep of seeds Or asleep for ages A fall from all of Eden's graces Where only weeds are grown Cut the stems I've found myself past the start again It's lust dying And if my heaven is a sin then I'm leaning into it My heart beats My head doesn't blink There never really was much to believe

Among the wildflowers Is where I'd like to be Free from all the eyes Peering from the seas Free as all the birds calling from the trees Free as all the winding of rivers and the streams Among the wildflowers I'll lie until they grow Shadows ever growing Over all I've ever known Nothing up above Nothing down below I'll turn into the earth The temperate ground below Among the wildflowers Is where I'd like to be Free from all the eyes Peering from the seas Free as all the winding of rivers and the streams Free as all the birds calling from the trees

Suddenly I don't feel a thing There's always less Than what I thought would be From the blossoming Of the lemon trees To all of the numb That December brings Still my heart it beats A hummingbird's wings Said the fear of a thousand things For what comes after me After geography It's only hell who waits for me Tell me when I can smell the roses Tell me when I can live the moment When everything doesn't mean a thing And I'm down again In my own unending heaven Own unending heaven

about

Up until the recording of Summerland I was at odds with myself. I loved making music, but a reality check was hovering over me. I knew I couldn’t continue on the path I had been on. I wanted to be a success story – so much so that it was ruining what I loved about music in the first place. So, I spent months contemplating a life that didn’t revolve around making music.

I ended up breaking down everything I thought I knew, and rebuilding something new. Summerland originally felt like an end, but it turned into a beginning.
