Liner Notes

#folk #girlwithpiano #flute #soft

This was conceived as an answer to the #dailysongprompt "Lost in Echoes". I remember, years ago, exploring the lava tubes on Maui with my children, listening to echoes. I wonder if they're still out there, speaking to us from the past.

Some learning about motion in the base line in this one, resulting some really unusual chord choices for me.

Lyrics

Ten Thousand
Jemma Kline

Ten thousand feet of stone,
Borne there when ancient lava flowed,
Filled with sounds from long ago.
Holding you, I listen for my own.

Do you hear me?
Still remember?
Still remember how to dream?
Do you hear me?
Still remember?
Still remember how to sing?

Ten years and more gone by,
Yet I still listen late at night.
I wonder if you listen too,
And sometimes hear my words inside of you.

Do you hear me?
Still remember?
Still remember how to dream?
Do you hear me?
Still remember?
Still remember how to sing?
