These Souls Lyrics: Matt Brown These sisters Sisters now Mothering Sisters now Two lives benign Two souls align Those sisters Sisters then Mothers sing Oh, mothers sing! Dadadada…. Two lives benign Two souls align Two sons, cousin Two paths herin Veiled notes Echoing Veiled notes In this spring Born as one Fated two But warmth Of womb Dadada….

Don’t Wake Me Lyrics: Maya Dagmi Don’t wake me Don’t wake me, go Here I sit on your throne, and my commands bleed through your walls Staining your thoughts, til you fall Don’t wake me You kneel as I approach Ears bloom with each word I spoke Now you say you want to change That it won’t be this way anymore You formed my heart my whole world you define Oh take my head to dream in a place Where I’m your child again Lids lifted Through you're silence I see A world unchanged by my pleas And still you say you want to change But I won’t be this way anymore

Breaking Into Lyrics: Matt Brown You and I, you and I Are not the same You and I Two paths behind Strange to find Colored blue An ocean that crept between How did I lose my way? A darkness that welled unseen When did you lose your way? Can we ever change again? Will we ever change again? You and I, you and I We’re not insane You and I These paths ahead Absent, dead, shadowed through Hours and years Unceasing stream How can you find the way? Light perchance to glimpse again When will I find my name? Can we ever change again? Will we ever change again?

about

Composed and Produced by Barra Brown
Co-production by Phil Nelson

Lyrics by Matt Brown and Maya Dagmi

"Don't Wake Me" written by Maya Dagmi
Arranged by Barra Brown

This music was written during a period of intense grief while processing a brain cancer diagnosis (and later passing) of a close friend. "These Souls" is a four-movement song-cycle that explores themes of life, death, connection, change, and growth. Thank you to all of the musicians who played on this release.
