about
A Blue Note-ish tune with big Elvin Jonesy, tripletty drums, but putting Kevin Barry's guitars all over it gives it a dreamy, mysterious quality that evokes the lyrics more, and underscores how foolishly, carelessly in love the protagonist is.
lyrics
Timber! Cut at the knees, I'm slowly falling over,
Diving like a swan toward you
Thunder! Out of the blue, this feeling of surrender,
Wind in my face, feeling gravity's embrace,
the inexorable race
to hold you closer than a lover
Hunger! Old roots are gone, I’m going through September
Trembling like a leaf for you
I wonder who I was before,
I hardly can remember
Tasting the breath flowing into my chest, moving on past a death to find enchantment with the other
Standing so tall for so long,
no need to stay strong, Time to give in
My soft heart doesn't need shielding,
No shame in yielding it's not a sin
I can't wait to fall right into you…

“At a time of great conflict in our country – when words often fail us – music has the power to bridge divides. With his
latest album Thornewood, released earlier this month, David Thorne Scott explores the intersection of Jazz and Americana, city and country, instrumentation and lyrics to create lush compositions and covers that are unifying, and healing, in their beauty.” - Laurie Fanelli...more
Sara got a lot of buzz for the track "Jolene", and rightly so - it's a great performance, great arrangement, great tune. But her original songs and deep cut covers are the real pleasures here. David Thorne Scott
