lyrics

A gardener knows he can't kill every weed, even still: every day, in dappled rain, he puts his gloves on, and grabs his spade.

And so it is with my music: I know it's dense! I know it's toothless! But it soothes, it lets the light in. And for a while, I can wear the absent-minded crown of purpose.

It districts, it amuses. It redeems, it excuses. And with my bells, and my trumpets, I prune back all the lack of joy I take in being a person.
