lyrics
How long did it take
To map out the borders and name all the streets?
At what rate
Did the tide
Of settlers and state
Sweep through the valley
And fasten a lock at the gate?
How much will it cost
To rent out a room in the town
Where your grandparents rot?
It's a gift,
A history wrapped in myth.
Nothing is manifest,
All of these narratives drift.
One day at a time,
Changes by design,
Only to unwind.
This place was never mine.
How bad would it hurt
To uproot the notion
That memories live in the dirt
Underfoot,
Or the air in our lungs?
A story's as much in the ear
As it is in the tongue.
One day at a time,
Changes by design,
Only to unwind.
This place was never mine.
Wishes said aloud
Are tokens of the proud,
While buried in the ground,
These bones won't make a sound.
Easily one of my favorite songwriters. Sara Hensel combines the vocal and lyrical acrobatics of Joni Mitchell with the production sensibilities of Blake Mills and robust grooves of Lucy Dacus. Dan Klee
I played drums on this one too! Zygotes is such a fun pop-rock experience. There are a lot of twists and turns for such a concise release -- give it a listen. ;) Dan Klee
