One Anemone 04:15
Crushed to your shell into the shallow end we fell isn't it elegant we've got these bodies? Warm in a braid and between us, the whole parade It's gonna take a lot of love... Rush, rush and foam from the balconies overgrown we're coming home like horses forest shore us Isn't it elegant we've got these bodies? A band of them, one anemone

LYRICS: They call me sailor, don’t quite know why no ship, no sail, no flag to fly red sky in the morning is just a sky I’m kind of shy My shell’s a spiral, I’m told it’s gold nearly perfection to behold it’s only the room that unfolds, unfolds as I grow old Folks all over the world call me a miracle of mathematical beauty but if you’re ever meditating on me look beyond the symmetry I’m a creature, can’t you see simply seeking pleasure, me, immeasurably hungry like you, baby I drift, I roll and sometimes I glide I bounce along, I bank and dive I move how I must move to stay alive from tide to tide Folks all over the world believe you can see the universe uncurl in me heaven ever swelling elegantly but I’m an animal like thee breathing cause it needs to breathe in between the mystery and the geometry hungry like you baby I grow and grow, the walls follow exploding slow and lo, behold a chamber greater than the one before in time, in time as I unwind I find it will not bind me it becomes the one I leave behind me Folks all over the world agree Mother Nature made me very fair to see so paint me, put in your poetry but inside I’m just a freak a monster of the dark and deep brave and stupid, wise and weird and mighty and weak hungry like you, baby Funny like you, babe frightened like you, babe hungry like you, baby Sleeping like you, babe waking like you, babe hungry like you, baby Living like you, babe dying like you, babe hungry like you, baby

Topsy 03:10
It's twenty-eight years twenty eight years in the ring no more swing I'm holding my ears to the wind no more spin I stood on two feet on two feet like a good girl no more twirl out here in the street I'll stand on bricks no more tricks Abul-abbas, all I know is those old bones sleeping so sound on the ground though I may be far away Abul-abbas, all that I feel is the tall grass don't you fret I forget better and better every day Goodbye to their gloves to their gloves and hands no more dance they are gonna play rough with me now no more bow Abul-abbas, all I know is those old bones sleeping so sound on the ground though I'm far away Abul-abbas, I'm dreaming of those old bones I never been there but in very good time I'll go to stay Let them burn me like an ember who will remember them?

about

Each One a Creature

Fin, feather, vessel and vein
twig, tendon, chamber and brain
lungs, lashes, branches and wings
hold me together, forever in swing

Bone, stamen, talon and scale
vibrissae, petal, antennae and tail
ventricles, tentacles, multiple cells
hold me together but split me as well

Split me to pieces that tingle and sting
harden and conquer, soften and spring
ripple away from each other and ring
each one a creature with a song to sing.

This is the demo for a full-length album of character songs about plants and animals to be developed into a series of animated videos for children of all ages. New songs coming soon.
