about
Introducing "Red of a Robin," the inaugural track in our concept album, the Talking to the Trees. This composition was inspired from a walk around Deer Lake Park with my friend Sasha.
Unbeknownst to me, Saha pointed out that the ivy's relentless ascent poses a threat to the trees' very existence. Sasha meticulously takes on the task of clipping away at the ivy, symbolically saving each tree, one by one.
What transpired was a revelation — Sasha, not just a guardian of the green, but also a poet, crafting verses dedicated to the silent whispers of the trees.
This album beckons you to join us on a poetic exploration, where every melody and lyric pays homage to the profound connection between humanity and the trees, silent witnesses to our stories.
Stay tuned for more chapters unfolding in the months (and perhaps years) to come. "Talking to the Trees" transcends being just an album; it's a conversation with nature, a harmonious blend of sound and symbolism, and a lovely walk with a dear friend through the park.
lyrics
RED of a ROBIN
I travel as a ray of sunrise,
Moving
through the trees,
I paint in red the branches
of a Douglas fir
To have a robin alight
On a circle of warmth.
I touch robin’s delicate feet,
Fluffy feathers of neck,
Tiny strands of his crown.
Reluctantly, I go on.
Who knows what I’ll see beyond.
I move above
the city’s geographic shapes
Above expanse
of water spread Through troposphere, out,
Into unblinking constellations,
Timeless chill,
The Big Bang memories and such,
Carrying with me the orange hue of the sun,
And the robin.
