Your Woman 04:53
The air breathes fair A blow akin to your grandmother’s kiss on your skin A garden laced with flowers So close to the outside showers Where I kissed the bumps on your wrists Innocence, to be missed I’d be your woman Let you kiss in your venom Setting the blood on fire Feeling my limbs go lighter Gone, by a breeze That moved so easy past me It blew you to a place that I thought only I knew I’ll bathe in the deepest greens to hide that if you pleased I’d still have your babies And you hold me with such power Plucked me like a flower And I could never be your woman Always your man I am the naked being On your blanket seeing You cry

4/4 03:29
4/4 The candescence, The fluorescence In the presence, and the message That she spreads, as she says the breathes of her next Becoming in a birth The words survive as she died To read and cry, forever fly To rest, the dust, the cusp, to just Become the air of earth The beauty to believe To see, too free The feelings, the birthings The cycling for meaning in our looping beats of four 4/4, count off our songs lower In the past, you let the grass cover/cast Memories last To write and preform Now she’s made of paint She once took her mother’s words like a saint Dressed in white, raised by christ Now she dances on the wall, dreaming She runs out painting and screaming

She lovingly took you in her mouth She somehow brought you in and allowed You to finally breathe For once you could see The love you’d been missing She met a mosaic of a man Placed together by 1000 hands The mystery of love And who we are and one Day will become All the love that we try to grow It won’t last fabricated or go It’s birthed from energy What you gift in the people you see The love that you hold between She tried to kiss your hands with care So excited to become the air One day, with you there So you and her could be anywhere “It’s so beautiful our souls are so near”
4.
A beautiful iris draped by a beautiful eyelash A blue tint wave crashed carrying weight Her eyes match the skies Her pale hand scratches the hot sand My cool wrist, towards the water insist Let us depart in swim, weightless brought together again I want to know the sound of you thinking Want to kiss on your skin As you breathe on the bed letting in our oxygen If we should separate, I hope you find a place That’s beautiful and warm So safe, where you’re born You deserve a place for peace I hope love drapes over like rain And it glimmers at you the same As if we still remain And will you recognize the air of my love?
5.
The soft light that paints your skin The first time, peace within A flame necklace That decorates your sweet skin You gift a bliss Travel back to then And you could braid my hair And I’ll wish I was there These hands will never exist again Your hands will never exist again These eyes will never be the same From birth to death my soul is the same I will always love you Loving pink coats over deepest blue I will always kiss you In your arms Now I’m new
6.
Cradle in her arms Safe, so safe from harm Sew a blanket, magnificent colour Keep me under your cover Genevieve’s love was all she needs “How beautiful our souls are so near” In the yard she plants the seeds With you, so safe from fear And she looks at her and she says, she says “You are the air of the summer The path to lead the traveler The nectar for bees to gift their mother In the beautiful garden, a flower The tree that we use for cover The unicorn that leads the spider The love that shares between one and another Mother Earth’s only daughter” She says “You are Mother Earth’s only daughter My perfect forever, forever You are Mother Earth’s only daughter The most beautiful lover You are Mother Earth’s only daughter” She is the trees and they are her.
7.
The stars were so loud she tried to muffle the sounds with the surrounding grass but she found it did nothing besides tickle her ears. Instead she sat up and cried as she looked out at the remaining blue of the beautiful everything in the sky and the life she had left to live
8.
Kiss you on the head in our bed Can’t believe that you’re all that I see Somehow it’s true that I’m in love with you And can’t believe that you’re in love with me And you’re deflecting all the feeling is cutting Stabbing, breaking, you try not to bleed You’re everything filled with feelings and I’m reaching I believe I can cut through and read-in But it’s beautiful to be anywhere at all And I’m glad to be anywhere at all with you I layed there in the october air Then winter came, there was no one to blame Your soul carries on even if your body moves on If you love your skin then I love what’s within And I just want to be the lines that form from years of you smiling But it’s beautiful to be anywhere at all And I’m glad to be anywhere at all But it’s beautiful to be anywhere at all And I’m glad to be anywhere at all with you

Dead Leaves 02:37
As the world makes it rounds Let the wind make the sound And our door open-bound To let in the dead leaves In our house she walks And to me she talks Towards the garden she flocks To feel the dead flowers In our house we sing All the notes we bring Harmonies, intertwined thing Sing songs of dead poets With soft hands, pack the fruit All the food in a towel suit And with my hands I’ll peel the fruit And bring her the peeled oranges

Hey ya'll, its Quentin on 9/24/23, I am currently mixing my newest album, "How Beautiful Our Souls Are Near!!", and this is the instrumental track I just spent 3 hours mixing "Mother Earth's Daughter", it kept peaking out on me, too much bass, skipping over sections of the song. That sucked. But I'm about to finish mixing the record by doing "4/4", which will probably be and equal hell, so I did this song in-between them. If you're coming from "Guitar Improv #1", I'm sure you know that Frank Ocean did not fucking drop or even deliver that good of a Coachella performance, including cancelling his 2nd weekend. It;'s whatever, we're all human. Self Control acoustic was awesome though. New animal collective in 5 days!, plus I'm getting my physical drivers license on Wednesday, the same day I'm seeing Jockstrap!!!, then on Thursday I have a Jazz-Band concert, then on Friday I have recording with V and Jordan for the ACC album. Then that next morning we're gonna go to the record store by Jordan's house. The most full week I've ever had. Anyways, thanks for reading & Listening. Love You

Capo 3 05:22
The river was bending The mountains were peaking The grace of humans The love around breathing The river was creaking Her golden head lay dreaming I lay here breathing Just happy to be living The river is happy just to be full The earth has to wake and be beautiful As the sun rises, we’re in a lull The oneness of our soul Every human being as a whole And everything is free really in this world Give it away with a good soul I am nothing and it’s beautiful

about

My 4th album.
This was recorded in various locations, but most songs were based on the recording sessions I did at Custard Homes in Kansas and The Trail in Arkansas, then I added a lot more at Cosmix in Aurora, Colorado. Including all vocals besides "Flame Necklace" and "Emily Holds The Grass"

I feel very, very, very fortunate to have been able to make this record, which is full of human, and natures energy. All of my amazing friends and family contributed heavily in many different ways to make this album possible. I feel so fortunate to be doing as well as I am, I am happy and content with life and the art I create with the people I love.
