about

"Be brave, be brave, but not too brave." Foxes are messy eaters. This began as a song about a Harlan Ellison character and then the lyrics took a sideways step into Neil Gaiman and Angela Carter and then there was just me and the moon and the bright red blood on the bright white road...

Quartal chords are underrated, maybe because guitars are tuned in fourths so we avoid them or take them for granted. Flatten your fourths just the right amount and they sound very nice indeed.

lyrics

What have you done?

Your mouth is red,
and you smile like a demon at me
beneath the ancient stars—
above and in your eyes.

Northwest wind blows through the barrows
under starlit evening skyline.
Soft blue-white light embraces you tight,
singing quietly to yourself,
watching the red fox prowl in search of
the haunted grey hare, wounded and running.
Such mute moments of distress
keep you from sleeping, silently weeping.
