Liner Notes

“Wild Arise (Finisia 2)” - #fawm 50/90 2024 song 44

UPDATED WITH VIDEO DEMO

original notes:
Last summer I wrote two drafts (and finished one) around interviews I watched with radical “rewilder” and activist Finisia Medrano. I finished the second one today. I mean for these to pass no judgment for or against Finisia, as I know she’s a controversial figure, but to gather and sculpt with language and emotion she shared.

Audio only demo today — I’m headed to the airport. Will update with a video take once I’m home and have a chance to sit down with my mic. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Xpk3A8SjBydT61oJlvAmOemPPSE1IS3f/view?usp=drivesdk

Lyrics

Looking for passage into the land
Grandma’s sheets tied to my wrists
Jump into the little twisters
Try to get picked up and spit out
By dust devil sisters
Want to get carried away
Always been bending this way

Time to be an island
Time to be a tree
Time to lie down in the dirt and feel with my breath
For what’s inside of me
And string it like lights to the roof of our sky
Time for the wild to arise

Too much of your so-called “real world”
There’s no conscience in it at all
Wipe the wind from my tears
I’d rather find coyotes to fear
Than the passage of years
Exposed by the pressure, not made
Working on mending the break

CHORUS

Down Hell’s Canyon on horseback
Saddle bag stuffed full of seeds
Biscuit root, yampa patch
Just by digging, you’re planting, you’re answering a need

CHORUS
