Lyrics

I speak through the regal beak of a bald eagle
I yell through the evening bells in the church steeple
the darkwood trees and the wormwood breeze
thick with ghosts

A spool of thoughts unraveling

Love the darkness! That organ is creepy in a good way and it sounds great over that dark bass. Sounds a bit like a ceremony in the woods at night that I would hope to not get too close to.

It's funny. My intention was also to write something as complimentary as @billwhite51! This is cool no matter what planet somebody's from. Haha. Good work!

This has such a dark and moody feel to it; that extended introduction just drew me into its rhythmic, inky, starless night. Even your lyrical delivery seems more sinister than usual, at least to me, perhaps because the lyrical imagery itself is so bleak. Really striking!

Not just any beak, a regal one! You are heard in everything, omnipresence personified.

This is really neat!!!
I very much enjoyed the lyrics, my favorite like has to be "Thick with ghosts", super visual!
Nicely done.

This is so hypnotic. I like how much time you grant the listener to make themselves at home in the soundscape before you start with the lyrics. Just a few lines, but you leave us with a lot of "unraveling". Brilliant.

ive been listening to paul pennyfeather for several years now..and i am convinced he is america;s finest living surrealist poet, as well as being a unique musician who is as experimental as he is solidly rooted in journeyman technique. each of his songs offers its own special pleasures. hard to define, but easy to digest.

I'm loving the chord organ.
I've only used mine once so far this year.
Really great rubber bass there lurking around in back.
Nice lyrics here.
Hypnotic.
Yeah, another great one!

Who is ā€žIā€œ? A ghost? A spirit? A soul?
The words sound like Talesin himself wrote them! Very mysterious!
It all sounds like something spellbound broke free here!
The music points this out!
Brilliant choice of instruments!
Very good!

What better way to speak or yell than through a bald eagle and evening bells. Mysterious vibe - background chattering so cool. Classic vocals break through the trees, the breeze, and the ghosts - love it!

I had to look up what a Chord Organ is ... very nice, I like the combination of sounds. Also, the lyrics are great, short and moody. Nice how the soundscape actually unravels on the word "Unraveling".
