lyrics

eyes open
hands closed
tight
around the rope
spinning
she touches the ground
bare-feet on the sand
hot sun beating down
she finds shade
in the tall grass
lost to the world
she slips away
into the trees
cooler now
and darker still
she hears the sound
of water
fast and deep
she finds the edge
where the land
gives way to the stream
cupping her hands
she drinks
the water cool in her mouth
the world spins
her chest burns
she is falling
the stars above
and the earth below
she reaches for the rope
that is not there
opening her mouth
to scream
but sings instead
a song strange
and beautiful
as she opens
her wings
to fly
she turns around
and there he is
standing in the road
arms reaching
the air electric
bees buzzing
by the roadside
he is
gone
through the door
and it locks
behind him
with a
click
that echoes
off the buildings
that surround her
slipping through the crowd
dissolving in the rush
thousands of stairs
a lighthouse in the trees
she starts to climb
but gets
nowhere
looking up
she can see
the waves crashing above
her feet
planted in the mud
at the bottom of the sea
she feels
her roots digging deeper
as the earth rises
beneath her
she is a flower
on a mountainside
reaching for the sun
tiny creatures
explore her deepest parts
and steal her
secrets
night falls
and the moon rises
closer than ever before
she finds
the rope
and climbs
toward the light
she opens
her eyes
to the
morning

about

Stephen Hummel Vancouver, British Columbia

Music has always been a central part of my life. Over the years, as I have developed as an artist, my music has become the primary filter through which I process my experiences and emotions. My creative approach is to use the recording studio as an instrument of expression - to use technology as an extension of physical performance. Improvisation is always a core part of my creative process. ... more
