lyrics

It’d take a funeral dance to derail my mind,
Bodies sway in line, and bend like the wind in the pines.
And just as I’ve arranged myself I’m plucked off the vine,
I listen for the chimes, but it’s always the dead keeping time.
A call to arms, abandon caution, takes a strong, strong love,
To age past blossom.
When I dream, I’ve got my arms around the sun,
When I wake, I’ve got my arms around someone.
I am as capable as I am divine, the body fails in time, you replay your life. So when you get to me, will you take your time?
I wonder where it flies, the memory that’s free of a mind.
A call to arms, abandon caution, takes a strong, strong love
To age past blossom.
When I dream, I’ve got my arms around the sun,
When I wake, I’ve got my arms around someone.
It’d take a funeral dance to derail my mind.

Layperson Portland, Oregon

Julian Morris situates his music at contrasting intersections.  It's a music that is at once emotionally urgent and yet brimming with graceful patience; tender and vulnerable while still forceful and resilient.
