Properly pronounced with emphasis on Think, this instrumental piece touches on what it means to begin thinking like a true King, and not a patriarchal representation of king. The sax and rhythm guitar meander in and out of conversation over a funky groove drum beat. The “Hwæt! Wē Gār-Dena” of the album, it calls to […]

The first channeled song on the album, I recorded this as an a cappella melody and lyrics as one. I went in afterwards to get the key and time signatures and create an arrangement for what I had recorded, recording and arranging the guitar and organ on the fly. Ayahuasca has a surface sheen and […]

My mother sang her own version of this song almost daily throughout her life. She learned it from Odetta’s version that she got the album of as a teenager, and I put this arrangement together based on what I heard growing up with my own interpretation of the lyrics and mood. Where’ve You Been? by […]

A song about being mentally unstable and in love and hoping it’s all okay. What is it like to live in a fictional space, trapped in a mind that drifts from here to there. And what is it like to be in love? A song of hope and reconciliation in a meandering, off-key, indie kind […]

For most of my life, I focused on work job money work money job panic work. Not love or our children or even my own soul. I didn’t understand until during these past five years what I had missed out on and where I had squandered energy. I know better now. This song is about […]

The second instrumental piece on the album, this one is a psychedelic, ethereal weaving through time. The song represents the opening phrase “I’m so confused. This isn’t how I used to be,” a mini-song I sang while washing dishes one day. The song relies on the conversation between the space guitar and the floating saxophone […]

This was a channeled song. I had written a few lines and a chord progression, and when I began to play, the words came out as they are here. It’s about trying to find the version of one’s self that is un-changing, regardless of where it ends up. Connection and trying to know how to […]

The second channeled song on the album, this one is about the idea that the burdens we unconsciously carry are far heavier than those we choose and are aware of. Release yourself from all responsibilities and choose them carefully this time around. Where’ve You Been? by Sabin Lyrics Oooh what can you do? Responsibilities:just get […]

This song is about being wretched in spirit and mind and still wanting to dance, love, swoon and romance. A blend of sort of a blues verse with a-minor regression jazz chorus. A mostly tongue-in-cheek delivery of lightened themes of regret, shame, and helplessness at the feeling of having behaved in awful ways. On threads.net, […]
