about

the album "Seldovia Songs"
releases
october 13th
at long last

here is the lead single!

this song is about a place very near and dear to my heart. it is about childhood innocence, adventure, love for the earth, greed, alien abductions, and the presence of a higher power... among other things

lyrics

we were prospectors panning in the river
we were trespassers in your home
we were tree huggers finding out roots
and we were creek waders, kicking off our boots

we were in red mountain valley
when we heard the whistling sound
we were trapped between two mountains
when i forgot to kiss the ground

we were swimming in the ponds
and we were climbing on the rocks
i made a home when i could fit between the cracks
and i sat on top while i ate my snacks

we were in red mountain valley
we were in the collapsed mines
oh god, look what they've done to you
oh god, look how they left you behind

he was a homesteader all alone
he was slowly growing old
one day a vision of life from above
coming to steal his only love

kidnapped cattle in the dead of the night
showering in the heavenly light and
stricken with fear and blinded in shock
he threw out his clothes and began to walk

what pushed you away? what tore down the roads?
what flew from above, and what had the mines closed?
some places we aren't meant to be
without a challenge, without breaking out feet

i believe in a holy ghost
helping give us what we need most
no rivers of sand made of gold
we were the trespassers in your home

(we were in red mountain valley)

where
we
are
born
again
