Appear Collate ‘cross the land Calling out Colossus in the sand “When to die?” Compress in my hand Nobody chews moss without a plan “Mother” I said it in disguise Nobody with onus on command cowardly plodding “When to die?” Falling as if grand Nobody in my family has children moss-on-oak-tree-wise Chewing in disguise

Barge into the eating of the mushroom bells Stay for the reading of moral tales Barge on the river slowly will appear through the fog as the morning peals In the light of day the gander disappears as the mirror of the moment interferes

Eyed the painting leaning in the cellar rotting Eyed the plein aire, cozy in the castle sunlight Equipoise in the light Horses lean in the light Aye, the pity of a poignant cellar rotting Eyed the pitting of the apples in November Equipoise in the light And so cozy in the light Handsome meaning in the light will continue in the light

Coming out of the cave Running so late A whole lot of the seaside aligned with men who look just like my dad Sodas are on me Gained rather late Holding up a light Home by the sea Hole in the light Being a caveboy I live alone “Don’t look at me” I’m just a boy who looks just like his dad Peeling a feeling All I can say I left behind Bearing a phantom Home by the sea All again love-ly Coloring the cave All again young Sun A light

I would like to meet again for lieder in the night Keep the moonlight suited up Eat foggy foie gras gris Oh baby that’s what I want us to be (whisper) Oh baby that’s what I want to see I would like to meet again for lieder in the night In the sunlight I feel beat but I think I’ll be alright Oh baby I think I’ll be alright

Giblets of fire in the morning light I want to see them I hear mourning bells Arise drink your fill The goblets of mire have a tangy swill Mongrel eyes and bearded flies and sheep grazing wise on the Mountain of Mull-y Pillow rain and pissing snakes and foxes run wise on the Mountain of Mull-y Castor’s egg and mealy legs and gibblets spread fire on this Mountain of Mull A pollux oil of goosey coil and a sweet tangy swill on this Mountain of Mull Ooooo The Mountain of Mull-y

Nosing northward surmising that a garden might be on fire Hey don’t let ’em write home without including a photograph Meal So quickly leaving Rhetoric and rising Don’t let it guide them Make our way then northward until it’s snowing then we’ll lay down Hold babies eyes alight Green that old meadow I say “Keep on the the right” of the heartsick Gold While it aways till our next meal it won’t go away And go, babies: go love the light So so cold, you see me, in a photo in your mind

Camera please be my best friend I have likeness I want to remember Go to sleep my best friend Always old friends I want to see But maybe the shuddering passes too quickly or is obsolete Holidays on the continent Oh the continents! move so so so quickly Oooo!

about

Europe, early twenty-first century.

In the fall of 2017 I wanted to create an album that would replicate the sound of a band: two keyboardists (one of whom also sang), a guitarist, and a drummer. I also wanted to continue to improve in creating a more “professional” sounding album, in terms of mixing and mastering, like I’d tried to do with “Americana”. And also like “Americana”, the conceptual idea for “Fall” came gradually over the course of recording.

About a month or so after I began the album, I learned of the “I AM A RESIDENT!” project, so work on “Fall” was largely paused until I submitted my Residents song at the end of November. Recording was finished in December; mixing and mastering continued off and on until May of 2018. And, I think due to wanting to wait till “I AM A RESIDENT!” was released, “Fall” wasn’t released here on Bandcamp until August 2018.
