about

An improvised rumination on love. The SA-76 is not the most precise instrument, but that is part of its charm.

lyrics

The trouble with the heart
is openness
The love that we share can be torn
New seedlings can take its place
Around all weakness
But before the ground is ready
To move on

It comes at you like a thunderbolt
Without warning or recompense
And when you say you want it,
It is all of these
It takes care of the rest

So I tell you, be careful
Or should I say to myself,
Don’t be so careless
To think before the shelf
