More Than We Know

who knew this day would find me?
consuming the past behind me
insisting my heart will define me no matter that i show
the work of my hands and the hours
spent growing the sand into towers
calling your sea to devour more than you know
gone are the days that i carried
a grief that alone i had married
to everything held and then buried deep in my soul
for now you speak far beyond reason
a bridge with a foot in each season
extending a hope i believe in more than you know
what kept me here and standing free?
What part of you saw this in me
oh how long until I see?
this light goes on forever
carrying time in it’s treasure
by blood and above us like weather further than we’ll go
for all of the breath that leaves us
the ghosts we invite to deceive us
i hold to the grace that believes for us more than we know
more than we know

in the darkest hour of the darkest day
you came and darkened my doorway just tryin to drive the dark away
but i kept my shades drawn i drew a bath after you'd gone
got in the tub and soaked til dawn
why'd you keep me here so long? i'll keep singing you my songs,
i'll sing 'em til my voice is gone
then you put a record on you put my favorite record on
you know i wanna sing along
i know the beating of your heart like the beat of a drum
the beating of my head against the wall after you leave, before you come
like the captain's clock
what i wanted from you wasn't what got from you
now all i got are thoughts of you
so i put them in my dresser drawer and put on a shirt you wore and try to put my best
foot forward
i know the beating of your heart like the beat of a drum
the beating of my head against the wall after you leave, before you come
like the captain's clock in the belly of the croc
do you wanna take a trip with me to mexico or tenerife? i wanna lie on a beach
do you wanna take a trip with me up to the roof, down to the street
who’s gonna hold my hand who’s gonna shoe my feet
if you find somebody new, i won't weep or mourn for you
i'll hold my head up high to prove
that one is indivisible by two and i'm invisible to you

Blue Heron Suite

At first, this little collection of songs and interludes seems to have a feeling of a "work in progress". But the truth that everything is soaked in an effortless musicality that is so rare these days. Just buy it. Now.

Live From The Fox Theater
by Nickel Creek
supported by 27 fans who also own “More Than We Know”
I was at this show. Met Sarah, Sean, and Chris after the show. For a "retired" band, they sure didn't play like it. The joy was evident. This band needs to continue. They are just too good.

The Two Worlds

The latest LP from Brigid Mae Power is gorgeous and ghostly, setting Power’s voice against soft brushes of guitar, piano, & shuffling drums.

Bloody Noses EP
by Richard Thompson
supported by 27 fans who also own “More Than We Know”
John Drumbo French from Captain Beefheart and The Magic Band worked with Thompson on two albums along with Fred Frith and Henry Kaiser. Those two French, Frith, Kaiser and Thompson albums led me to this. Also, Richard Thompson taught Hugh Cornwell (of The Stranglers) how to play the bass guitar in a band when they were both at the same school (Emil and The Detectives?). With a career spanning 50 years and playing with two of my heroes (French and Cornwell) Thompson has produced a fascinating EP.
