'forest element' is from the komorebi era. for this record we went to a small cabin in mendocino, CA. for 12 days we would wake up, take small hikes with our guitars, and then settle into writing for the day. the large wooden room had a fireplace, which we would keep burning as we drank a lot of tea and made komorebi.
this song was written, produced and recorded in that cabin, using found objects and some of the natural room tone.

oh, my little odyssey
i want a place to lie down please
hold together hold together
mimicking the fallen leaves
i know its how i used to be
lose yourself
don’t lose yourself
———
its foreign
ill forage
for all that is forerun
i know that
the longer i run
——
time will start to melt
ill run it off
talking with myself
ill run it off
hoping all is well now
ill run
someday ill be there
to laugh it off
under hazy care
ill have it all
knowing all is well now
———
now you go to manifest
and give yourself a little rest
rolling through the chest of the forest
and ill go myself
heeded no one else
i built my heart to something i can share
its foreign
ill forage
for all that is forerun
i know that
the longer i run
a seedling
chuck pieces
ill feed in
those seasons
