I’ve noticed that I’m trying to be right
To ride the largest wave
Still every wave must break
And I am lost in endless waters
I’m left to float with what I am
I’ve run away from disagreements and
Abandoned older friends
I’ve seen the past as pain
I once would rather be forgotten
Than live complexity and grace

Stay
Where I am is where I’m not
God is just the ocean where I’m lost
“What is loss?” a moon responds
Love is of the questions I ask God
Go
Give your life unto the weave
To the fabric and the seam
To the drift of what you’ll be
Like the wind run through the leaf
What I am is what I’m not
I believe this isn’t what I thought
“What is thought?” the fool responds
Foolish as I am I am your heart
Go
Give your life unto the weave
To the fabric and the seam
To the drift of what you’ll be
Like the wind run through the leaf
Lile the storm and like the breeze
You’re a body meant to dream
In the grip and the release
Walk a fragile path to peace

I, Johno, an open riot
Anger and love
in the light
Going out
To sitting down
I don’t mind or I’ve
broken down
You ask a simple question of me
And then you worry where I’ve gone
I’m so far in an old emotion
It’s like a glove that won’t come off
Your patience gave me space
Turn my rage to movement
I wish they’d tell another story
About a love beyond the spark
About the darkness and the coldness
I’ve had to see within my heart
To hold the truth, to hold the fullness
Of love as what we really are

It’s all for heaven, love
And all I offer
I will move towards my fear
Never had the heart
To know the darkest
Evening even lives in fear
Here in heaven love
We know the heart is
Crying for a little pain
For what is heaven, love
When all it offers
Is light without the rain?

Living is an inconsistent friend
How funny to have found an equal
Playing time against my rhythms
Walking is the beat of my abyss
Death has met you
What is says,
Can you hold it til I join?
Your eyes were seeing
Open to a beauty you could carry
When living time could meet the love you need
I know your love is a home
I know it’s hallways
You’ll never be here alone
Our love is always

I have a story I tell
About a god who came to grief
She made the world so well
And felt the world was everything
Her son said to Judas
I need you to do this
To spend eternity in Hell
Know
What your heart ignores
Falls just like leaves to the ground
Feeds that very heart
Bitterness roots in the dark
And out of this well of love for her
Judas gave his life to me
And what a grief we could tell
About this god of one belief
That us believers would sell
The well for poisoning
Know
What your heart ignores
Falls just like leaves to the ground
Feeds that very heart
Bitterness roots in the dark

Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe In You

Helps me sleep and also helps me stay awake. When I discovered Big Thief I listened to a lot of their music for a very long time, so it felt right to buy this lovely album. Makes me feel comfort I didn't know existed. Makes me want to scream in all the ways you'd ever scream, lots of emotion.

Up there with Joe's best -- it feels like it pulls from every record he's done before while still being completely distinct from any Cymbals record in the way it combines the psychedelia and accessibility with some of the lushest, most ornately arranged music I've heard. Plus the guitars still rock, the solos fucking slap, and the ballads somehow slap just as hard. The narrative based lyrics also hit a sweet spot in Joe's lyricism -- direct but inventive, descriptive and endlessly compelling.
