about

ok so, i wrote this when i lived and worked on this small artist commune in normandie, france. we were actually making a resort out of old farm houses dating back to the 17th century. i had helped build this great room with a little tiny door but a tall, sloping ceiling- it had a great sound. i don't know why but i was feeling quite infinite that evening, having not been able to speak with someone for about a month (not so great at french i suppose). infinite can mean many things but to me it is huge, unimaginably so, causing me to not be able to "see past 27" if you know what i mean

lyrics

Life is something I don’t much about and
Sometimes I can’t see passed twenty-seven
Its alright if I leave in my dawns light
I might just have to follow my souls light

And I don’t have to come back here
If I learned every thing
I will just stay out in the soul world
Where we’re all everything
Puppets on a string

Love is something I don’t much about and
There are people to show me about it
But its not you and I don’t know what to tell you
Just that I love without having a clue

And I don’t have to wake up in the morning
If I learned everything
I can stay out in the soul world
Where we’re all everything
Puppets on a string
