about

From the album: The Moraggots Performing as the Sodermen - in memory of the Crow and Canyon, his holy hideout.

lyrics

This melody,
Is coming through to me.

This melody - Eight notes that’s hummed to me,
So it sweetly swings, yeah.
It’s all about this place that’s overrun with trees.
Down below people dying for the breeze.

Wending road twists beneath the redwood sky,
This friend of his lives there in a trailer set on blocks,
He listens while he talks.

This melody

The robin outside on the hillside steep,
He feels it sing to him, yeah.
A song in parts that’s sung and only sung to him.
Through the window ‘bove the galley sound leaks in.

His heart’s hard-used he loved to tell you so,
Leaning back with his leg propped up;
The one he hurt years before.
Hurt bad but that’s nothing,
He’s got all the dreams you see.
I loved to listen to him ramble on and on and on.

This melody,
Coming through to me.

Beneath this canopy of leaves he’d rest,
He feels the raindrops fall, yeah.
The wind it snaps each drop against the trailer’s walls,
Inside he feels quite safe and feeds the stove.

While the rest of us fall upon our knees,
He planned and planned the next cruel joke,
But that was him you see.
In every picture of him, he’s always flanked by friends,
And in every memory I can recall,
His quoting Grateful Dead.

This melody,
Coming through to me.

This melody - eight notes that’s hummed to him,
So he lives alone, yeah.
It’s all about this place chock block with bees and birds.
Down below the people donely know they heard.

This melody,
Coming through to me
