I got the hardest part i got the true desire I got a bleeding heart i got my song set fire I'm gonna open up and let this all move through me Whatcha gonna say now girl Whatcha gonna say now? "I don't want none, I don't need none, I don't need it" Let it all out the basement is a burning fever Falling asleep on beds upon th distant mirror Open all of the doors and let the fire move through me Whatcha gonna say now girl Whatcha gonna say now? "I don't want none, i don't need none, I don't need it"

Come Near Me 04:02
All I've ever said is all I've ever done All I've ever read is all I've ever sung Here on fertile ground we lay our burden down and all our tired heads lay down on gentle beds Evening will pass when morning dew descends All fevers will unleash and this open road will open up again Where you find your heart is where you'll find your love Where you'll find your home is in the clouds above Being drunk on your love and seeing all there is to see means nothing to me now Cuz I've burned my path and the bridge just broke beneath You said "Come near my friend, I didn't realize you'd left" Oh when all is want I'll never have no need All that is sought and all that I've received Will open me to know will show me all i know And bless me with the growth of a growing tree with my roots dug in the ground

You 01:56
Oh slender flower so true Eyes so starry and new Leap into the ripe air alive where we breath a sky so blue the fairest angel is you you you you you

All the world has awoke unencumbered by their dreams In the warmth of a quilt slowly tearing at the seams O, the love of an oath on an earth so incomplete O, the green, greener grass that we found beneath our sheets We'll grow old, or die young, with each breath a brand new thing O, the ghost O, the grave O, the songs we used to sing Only God of the earth and the moon begin to know the right and the wrong and the wages of our wind Here we are, undressing in the wind! Raise a flag to the love of a wonderful new dream All the hope in the heart is the hope that sets us free We're open to the love that's slowly growing in our sleep in this wind-woven mansion we have found we are complete Here we are, undressing in the wind!

In midnight where skies are open I'll lead my walk Where I've took a journey through my harvest And I know what lies beneath me on graves like me I'll walk I'll fly On dewdrops on flowers where feeble breathing old women will grow (When will love live me)
6.
Amend Me 01:34
Our love is love Our love is wishes Our love is leaves fallen from branches in the breeze Amend me now Cuz i haven't learned how to change myself without changing everything around me Cuz I haven't learned how to live my life in the way that I know I'm supposed to be Amend me now

I've been waking up full of your love You're so warm and forgiving Loving the way your heart displays all the beauty of living All that's around all that's within filled with the grace of growing old inside your skin All the days burning away blowing the ashes of your fears upon the wind Bustle and buss O how your love fills my heart with devotion The flow of your hair freeze of the air blowing straight from the ocean You're looking away your life is framed so organically with jewels and pearls

High on a rocky ledge lives a Mädel, Edelweiß. Shy as a shadow, lovely as lace, and cold as ice. High on a rocky ledge, I pledged my love to her. Ev´ry time I climb up to Paradise. How many times I´ve been up to see her, goodness knows, Huffing and puffing, dressed in the warmest climbing clothes. How many chances would be taken in my Hopeless pursuit of the Schnee-Mädel-Edelweiß. Then spoke a spirit, "If you would win your Lady Love, There´s only one way: fall to your death from high above. You will begin to grow in snow beside the one You have waited for to be mated with." Now, I´m an Edel, vice to my Mädel, Edelweiß. Dying to be with her wasn´t any sacrifice. We´re so deliriously happy on your ledge where I pledge my love to my Lady Fair. You who are climbing breathless to see me and my love. Snow flowers growing fonder on Lover´s Ledge above. If you´ve the yen to pluck, then pluck us both, for we who have lived as one, wish to die as one.

When we've seen all that we've seen all the roads lead back to thee inside our skin, inside our sheath we all retreat into the sea and bring the gold right back to thee inside a boulder inside a songbird in a growing tree and we become the thing we saw burning in the breeze with no place to hide when we release all that's inside This fatal dream we call retreat won't mean the same thing Inside our hearts we feel a burn We have faith in thee

about

Originally released in 2008 in a limited batch of 45, and given to friends as Xmas gifts.
Recording took place in various cities (Rome, GA, Nampa, ID, Hailey, ID, Boise, ID) over the course of a few years. This album represents the opening of the curtains to the With Child world, having previously been a project called Unicorn Feather.
With Child was shedding the skin of the past, while honoring it I suppose.
Bookended by two kinda goofy Casio driven ditties, the folk and the love songs emerging between them give a glimpse at where things were heading.
That's what this album is, that's it. Simple.
