Day 5 : A song for a tired morning


Erland Cooper - First Of The Tide
Reminds me of wandering on Brighton Beach after seeing him the night before, still slightly dizzy from a great gig and watching the waves rattle over the stones. Also memories of wandering among the Kittiwake colonies in Varanger Fjord, Norway... midnight sun, not sure what time it was as the birds called their own name and the "I'm awake" line was replaced in my head by "kittwake". Maybe that's where it came from.
 
Day 5: A song for a tired morning

That moment of waking, vacillating between memory and dream.

"Oh oh you are a color now I keep with the dawn
Oh oh I'm gonna keep it right until it is gone"

I love the original version, especially live, but this collaboration between Israel Nebeker and the Oregon Symphony's string quartet evokes staying -- trying to hold on to that moment.


"Moon at Dawn," Blind Pilot and The Oregon Symphony
