about

Recorded live at Tonic Lounge (RIP) in Portland, Oregon, Sunday May 19, 2013. Live mix recorded direct to 2-channel stereo.

A reworked version of a poem I wrote for a band called The Sacred Version, circa 1980, in Minneapolis, MN.

lyrics

Every time I look at the sky
I have to close my eyes
Every time I look at the sky
Something gets in my eyes

I like to walk late at night
I like to look at the stars
It's peaceful late at night
Staring at the stars

Walking on a sidewalk
I miss the open space
Drowning on a city street
Buildings all out of place

Who put them there?
Is that the scenery?
Masculinity by the story
Somebody must have thought they'd live forever
Surrounded by their concrete ego

They want to touch the sky
They want to be so tall
Buildings never touch the sky
They do nothing at all

c 1980 / J. Free
