lyrics
ESPERANTO
There’s a secret that never dies –
like a song of hidden meanings we never apprehend
There are questions just as old as time
and the answers that come never quite make amends
Even so, when you look at time
you can get a subtle feeling of the way it ought to be
Take a good look at your own real life
and you will see if you want what you've gotten to be
It's a hope, a sign, a measure of quiet rapture –
of love and what might come after
It's letting go, and letting no answer be an answer
How did smoke learn how to fly? Where do birds go off to die?
Why does coal sleep in darkness? Do dreams live in apartness?
Is a number forever? Where's the soul of the water?
How old is old November? No one here can remember.
If I die, where does time go? Do the bees feel vertigo?
To get love - is there potion? Or is love only motion?
Very glad they took the opportunity to jam and record together. They captured moments of concentrated listening and playing. Also like the airiness and spaciousness of the recording. freejazzy
Based around the question “What is trust?” the latest from Michele Thomas is a bewitching combination of jazz and soul. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 27, 2022
