Song of the Month

Slowly For A While

Slowly For Awhile

Thymme Jones- autoharp, drums, moogs, glockenspiel, vocals, found sound
Maxx Katz- a million and a half flutes
Scott Rutledge- lyrics

Mastered by Todd Rittmann

solitary finds a corner
where the face can hide its features
from the innocence of those in love

rubbing off on broken glances
shattered into icon fragments
fluid as the price of one on one

imitation loses reference
preying on the frightened senseless
now that memory has been undone

only after clouds have settled
in the place of what could matter
will there be another after all

slowly for awhile

I Don’t Believe

ARISE
ARISE
ARISE

life
out of time
too late to be unborn
how
has the lie
found a place to belong
ARISE
out of time
when there’s no time for now
ARISE
and be unafraid
of what it means to die
ARISING
ARISING
ARISING
ARISING

it’s over
it’s over and over

the never ending
will never end

it’s over
it’s over and over

I don’t believe it’s true

Wild Card

Don’t feel like being President

“Don’t feel like being President!”
From a “practice” on September 2, 2004.
Jeff and Thymme.

What you hear in the background:
A George Bush speech on television
and Thymme’s roommate, Colby, talking
to Todd Rittmann, who just arrived.

What you don’t hear:
Todd coming up the stairs, and then saying,
“For a second I thought there was a real dog up here.”
