Have I made who I am? Have I the voice looking out?

When I was young I dreamed a forest by the sea Where trouble takes no root Under and oak tree, evergreen Now that I've grown All my trouble has taught me To take shelter under leaves, Fallen, yellow, bruised and free When summer comes, I'll come running home again To that ol' plot of land From which first steps were stepped away To the crook at the base Of an oak tree, evergreen Rest my feet 'neath the leaves, Forever weathered by the breeze

Burned Fines 03:54
Over time, The judges burned the fines And the day slipped away from me Happily, quietly, While I was sleeping

When you've finally won You'll forget who it was you were Newly baptized, no reason to hide You'll be everything you should When you've made your way right Climb up with the roots through the soot Emerge in a blindingly bright countryside With your clothes all seamless and white There'll be a halo atop your forehead And a wreath around your neck And you'll finally find What you never could Then you'll never be Never be Never be Never be alone again And you'll never feel Never feel Never feel Never feel afraid And you'll never need more to be good enough And you'll only lie in fresh linen sheets Then when you're called up by who they've known you to be You could embrace it, simple and complete You will be loved You will be loved No matter where you go You will be loved You will be loved No matter where you go When you've finally won When you've finally won When you've finally won You'll have your day in the sun When you're finally done For now try to get some rest It's a long day tomorrow Just give it your best And keep these small lies in your head

When summer comes I'll come rushing home again To that old plot of land From which first steps were stepped away To the crook at the base of an oak tree, evergreen Rest myself beneath the leaves forever, Weathered by the breeze

about

I did my best to frame these recovered scraps and snippets of sound in making this recording.

To anyone reading this, I wish you luck in your attempts to make some sense of yourself and the life you find yourself in. This is another attempt from me.

Trains on Perry St. is Keith Scheiferstein in a room with a computer, a microphone, various accumulated instruments, a VHS player, and a freaky modified tapedeck that does terrible things to cassettes

Special thanks and credit to my friend Ian Marks for hunting down and providing various field recordings which were invaluable in the construction of this album, as well as to all friends and family who graciously allowed me to weave their voices and likenesses into the fabric of this project
