lyrics
I remember the feel of the bark on each of the trees by the house, red cedar, cherry blossom, japanese maple, dogwood, sugar maple — I remember their sounds, the sounds of the wind rustling in their leaves and swaying their branches in different seasons — I remember leaves on the ground, sometimes dry & gathered in great piles raked together, sometimes wet & sticking to the grass — I remember how they homed cicadas & great wings; sparrows, robins, & jays, squirrels & raccoons; with great loud crows perched at their tops — I remember the enormous old maple that fell & split my childhood home years after I moved away — I remember the trees that fell & the ones that, bending in strong storms, stood afterward — I remember walks through woods, trails blanketed with old leaves, tress so numerous & varied & with names I didn’t know & may never — I remember touching the bark of oaks & redwoods, birch & tupelo — I remember the sounds of the names of trees I’ve never seen, baobab & eucalyptus, teak, tournefortia, & acacia — I remember forests on fire, hillsides all clearcut, fields rendered barren by disease, the moors that once were forests, & I remember saplings that grew through concrete, saplings whose trunks grew solid — trees with demands
there are trees that outdate empires, successions of empires, trees many times older than the language I speak, tree colonies older than the oldest artwork I know, ancient forests, that, ancient forests that will, there are ancient forests

Incredibly talented young group! They have achieved a perfect blend of Native American music with jazz. I highly recommend seeing/hearing them live! ccselavy

My humanities professor showed me this piece and i cannot stop coming back to it. Something deep and alluring of this piece keeps me wanting more. Absolutely one of my favorite cuts from last year. Ra!

This music has everything I need: acoustic instruments, a slow build, layers of atypical harmonies and rhythms being added each pass through, subtle melodies and combinations. Excellent work! Little James
A meditation on grief and loss, this experimental collaboration between Luna Honey and Norman Westberg is both haunting and touching. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 20, 2023
